Regarding the question about the Flash puppets, what would happen (or what would you fear happening) if they WERE distributed?
We mostly kept the puppets confidential to the project because we felt that the animation behind the movie wouldn’t be as special if we released them publicly. Look at how long it took for DHX’s puppets until they were leaked out. Its kind of the same vibe. We want the animation to be original but distributing the puppets wouldn’t make the animation feel original anymore because anybody could do them.
That’s why some animators don’t actually release their puppets out publicly. Its a personal decision that the animators made and I agree with them. So I shall respect what they wanted to do.

Will you be releasing those flash puppets for public use like double rainboom? Cause they seem much better than the double rainboom ones
We were thinking about that, but we’ve ultimately decided that the puppets used for Journey of the Spark will not be distributed publicly.

Hello! This is Dennis O'Keefe, Orchestra Contractor for the movie. I managed to coerce Eric into letting me share something with you: you’ll recall at the BronyCon panel back in August and a few times since, he mentioned that I’d be recording the score for the film from the Ithaca College School of Music in the town of Ithaca, New York. Well, here’s a little bit of what he’s talking about.
What you’re about to hear is an excerpt from a rehearsal earlier today of the Ithaca College Symphony Orchestra for their upcoming December concert (be on the lookout for that, by the way). Now, it’s unlikely that the ICSO itself will be performing the score to Journey of the Spark, but some of its members will, and I wanted to show you a little bit of what they can do.
What I have here is a brief excerpt from the Overture to the Opera “Tristan und Isolde” by Richard Wagner performed in the recording studio I intend to have the orchestra recorded in. If you’ve heard of Wagner, great. If not, then you don’t know what you’re missing. What you’re hearing is not representative of the final product, that’ll be much cleaner than this. However, I wanted to give you this so that you’re acquainted with the room the orchestra will be playing in. Also, if you hear any talking in the background, don’t worry about it. It’s pretty normal for rehearsals.
Alright, enough rambling. I’ll leave you to some good music now.
Alright, Eric. I’ll let you out of the closet, now.
Here she is ladies and gents: the star of Journey of the Spark herself, Twilight Sparkle! This ends our showcase for the Mane 6 puppets. You’ll be seeing them in action sometime later in the future.
