...Poser was used in this work and I'd really like to get some feedback from forum members on animation (or lack thereof), music, lighting, anything. ANNA FURY is an upcoming web series that will be streamed for free viewing this summer. Programs used: poser, cinema 4d, after effects 5, premiere 6, Illusion 2. The zip is about 4 megs, trailer runs about 2 minutes. Windows Media Player version 7 required. When we begin streaming the show, what's the streaming media of choice out there: windows, real, quicktime or DIVX 5? Taking an informal poll...Thanks in advance!--J.

QuickTime is probably the media of choice these days ... although that is definitely subject to debate. In fact, we're having a debate on the pros and cons of various streaming web video formats in the Director's Cut forum; feel free to join us.
I can't seem to download the file properly. All I get is a .zip that is 0 bytes in length.

Quicktime. Even on my Windows box.

Divx. Best quality at the smallest size.

In a word, WOW! You've really done some work! I'm currently using Poser/Max/AfterEffects for a part in a music video. I know how much time can be spent on the smallest details! When I played the video, I had no sound. Music/SoundFX will obviously enhance your work. Your animation did look a little stiff, except the Man doing the diving roll at the edge of the cliff. Was that a BVH? What I do is get my animations where I want and render a test. 320x240, no shadows or blur, I get a quick render of the motion. It really looks good, Can't wait to see the finished product!

I prefer QuickTime but especially for paying customers I often compress the final render into multiple versions (including WMF and AVI) so I can cover all the bases.
Before they made me they broke the mold!
