Will you be releasing the pegasus models soon? Also, are people allowed to recolor the objects for OCs as long as credit is given?
Our Rainbow Dash puppet is scheduled for release this coming Monday along with some backgrounds, concept work, a new poster, and an updated Twilight Sparkle puppet. Included in the Raindow Dash puppet will be wing and hair cycles. You are welcome to recolor them and change the puppets in any way you would like. Credit isn’t necessary, but appreciated /)^ɛ^(\
Howdy everypony!
At our last crew meeting we went over our Twilight puppet and we realized that it still needs the back 3 quarters! It isn’t priority right now, but a version 2 will be available in the future. We really appreciate all the excellent feedback we have been getting and Zach’s amazed no one's discovered any problems.
We also have an awesome new background lead who did the staging study of Twilight’s bedroom (which will be released in a couple weeks). She also stepped up to help us block out all the backgrounds in the bedroom because the camera angles were confusing us. Great job and congratulations Jourdan!
At the meeting, we also saw some fantastic Ponyville backgrounds. Prepare to be amazed!

Stay tuned!

Wondering what the 3D concept art shots done with Maya are for, since i was under the impression you guys were using flash? Unles you are using maya, in which case you are my hero.

The 3D concept art in Maya was used for staging and getting a feel for the space we will be animating in. Double Rainboom will be done completely in Flash.
It was mentioned that this is a senior project. When is it due? By which I mean, what is the absolute latest we can expect it to be finished?
Zach is technically a senior so Double Rainboom is also technically a senior project but it doesn’t quite fit into the curriculum at SCAD so there is no “deadline”. We expect to finish the episode for release this fall.
Besides Twilight and Rainbow, will any of the other Mane Cast be featured in the animation?

Yes! Pinkie Pie will also be featured with a speaking part. You can also expect cameo appearances by Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Spike, Derpy, Doc Whooves, Cheerilee, Rose, Lilly, the CMC, and others!
The Double Rainboom summer animation project has launched a website with all sorts of neat little additions to the already huge amount of content and teasers that have come out dedicated to it. This might just be one of the best things the fandom creates! Hopefully they can pull it off!
The Double Rainboom Website
Our website is officially up! Now you can see all the work we have been doing for Double Rainboom in the past few weeks. In the gallery section of the site there are six buttons: concept art, storyboards, animatics, backgrounds, puppets, and extras.
In the concept art area you can find color studies and staging studies of Twilight Sparkle’s laboratory. Part 1’s storyboards and animatics are in their respective sections as well as 5 of part 1’s backgrounds. Our first version of our Twilight Sparkle puppet is now download-able in the puppets section and our first promotional poster is in the extras section in case you want one for yourself (I know I do!).
In the next few days we will be releasing more backgrounds, a staging study of Twilight Sparkle’s bedroom, updated versions of our Twilight Sparkle puppet, and a new promotional poster!
