Double Rainboom Update!
Howdy everypony!
During our crew meeting today, we watched the first half of our film in its final timing! We’re only missing character animation in one shot. There are a few other tiny things to fix up, but it’s been sent off to sound!
Today we also completed every single one of our 116 backgrounds! Phew, that’s a lot of backgrounds.
We are 97% done with all character animation and 81% done with all the special effects.
Get ready! Our trailer, along with our official release date, will be out soon. We’ll be releasing the first half of the film on Saturday, the 9th of March at 4pm at Momocon in Atlanta, Georgia.

We are 78% done with all character animation, 44% done with special effects, and 69% done with backgrounds! We start on postproduction tomorrow and hope to be done in February, but there is no set-in-stone release date.

Guess who rigged these guys?! Yours truly! Ben Mangum did an awesome job re-purposing the Twilight Sparkle rig for each of the other ponies. Enjoy!

Crew Meeting Summary!
Howdy everypony!
At our last crew meeting we went over the promos that will be released in the coming weeks leading into post-production. We will be releasing a tutorial on how to animate our pony puppets, Zach will be narrating a Double Rainboom update promo to let everyone know how the project is going, and we will be releasing a trailer. It will take about two or three weeks before the next promo will be released though.
We also met our shot quota this week! (Despite finals at SCAD) Which means we are on track for finishing Double Rainboom!
