jazzy-boy-extraordinaire-deacti asked: Will there be a male pony puppet rig?
We have one completed actually, but it hasn’t been released yet so stay tuned!
The Savannah College of Art and Design held an event called Senior Soiree recently where all the seniors promote their films and recruit crew members. Zach Rich, our director, was there and everything went fantastically! We had a great big TV playing some of our finished shots, around the TV we had a print-out of the crew list from the website, and fliers and business cards were given out. There were always people at the table asking questions and talking about the film, and hopefully we’ll see a number of them submitting puppet tests and grabbing shots to help us out.
Howdy everypony!
We updated our website today with 5 new backgrounds, mini puppets, and other artwork! Check it out!

It’s crunch time here! The crew is working really hard to get all of our shots done in the next seven weeks so we’ve been spending most of our meeting time critiquing shots. We did get to hear an epic pass at our trailer music though!
Our next website update is scheduled for tomorrow! We will have BBBFF mini puppets for each of the main six (rigged by me! :D) and some other treats for you guys. The sequence using the mini puppets is awesome - and it’s almost done!

For our last crew meeting Zach prepared a spiffy new powerpoint for his presentation to new members. We also found out exactly where we are in production and how far we have left to go with precise percentages. Then, of course, we went over the usual. We saw aniamtics, puppet tests and aniamted shots.

At our last online crew meeting we saw all the animatics, listened to Rainbow Dash callbacks, and went over recorded dialogue. All of the dialogue for the monster has been finalized and the puppet is completely done (and done really well!). We then went through puppet tests, Equestria Daily banners, backgrounds, and animation.
Our 3rd promo will be out as soon as the sound is added!

ededdneddymemes-blog asked: Do the downloadable puppets work on Flash 8 and Adobe CS3? Because I'm having trouble opening the file. If it only works with Adobe CS5 then that's not good. :(
Unfortunately, we aren’t able to save files down further than CS4. Zach has CS5, but we’re working between CS5, 5.5. and 6 so saving to CS4 is the best we can do.
At the crew meeting today we critique all the work being done, discussed the next promo that will be coming out soon, and saw banner ideas for Equestria Daily. We’re nearly done with our backgrounds, believe it or not, which is why there isn’t much artwork to post out here for you guys. We have 20 shots left that are ready for character animation until we get all of our dialogue in and all puppet building is complete. So things are going well!
animaproductions-blog asked: Double Rainboom! Y U steal all the good animators?! Where did you find them? Are they stashed in a pot at the end of the animated rainbow? Did you find a genie and ask for a million dollars, ownership of a small island, and a bunch of animators? Were they hurled at you via siege catapult after being mistaken for plague victims? Tell us your secrets! We want in!

We will be referring all of our animators to projects like yours once Double Rainboom is released!
