In the wake of JOTS’ cancellation as a film production, me and the team behind Celestial Spark Studios have been discussing different opportunities that we can take to help strengthen us as a team. 

So that is why we’re announcing something we like to call the Celestial Spark Studios Reformation Program. From this moment on, the team and I will be focusing our efforts on creating original animated shorts in conjunction with other fan content. We felt that taking this approach would help us gain momentum as a team and help build further experience so that we may be able to take on something akin to JOTS’ scope in the late future. 

In fact, we can announce that we already have an original animated short in development. We cannot reveal what this new short is at the time, but you’ll be hearing more about it further down the line. Also, The Longest Brawl is moving along at a steady pace, signifying a very healthy and inspired development process. 

Already, we’re taking the initiative to learn from our past mistakes so that we can ensure a brighter future for the studio. Many of the artists who contributed to Journey of the Spark’s production are also coming up with their own unique ideas for potential shorts that could be produced through the studio brand. 

So for any of you excited to see what our team is coming up with, stay tuned as we’ll continue to update on all our latest projects. To follow projects such as The Longest Brawl, Asura’s Reach, and the original animated short, be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Page.

Thanks again for all your continued support and we hope you enjoy what we come up with!

For those who are at BronyCAN this weekend, we’re making this post to remind you that two of our staff members from Journey of the Spark will be hosting a panel tomorrow night to show off some exclusive stuff that wasn’t shown at BronyCon!

On the panel will be Sean Krause (Animation Department, Animatics) and Julia Serdyuk (Storyboard Artist). For those who will be going, we’re looking forward to seeing you there and for those who can’t make it, we hope to record the panel so you guys get a taste of what’s in store!
