Beginning the Journey: Looking Back at a Year of Pre-Production
In November of 2011, a young avid Film and Animation fanatic began developing ideas and concepts for a fan-project based on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. His idea and concept was a dark and emotional re-imagining of the source material and his vision of what a Series Finale to the popular animated show would play out. Trying to find a story to match this concept, he dreamt of a scene in which 5 of the Mane 6, Princess Luna, and Spike were seen walking on a log across a rapid waterfall.
That man is myself, Eric Ridenour, and that was the main inspiration for Journey of the Spark.
Introducing: Megan Garcia
Has the time finally come at last!? Zecora has finally joined the cast! That’s right everyone! Ponyville’s resident shaman/potion-maker, one that speaks in rhyme no less, is finally joining the cast for Journey of the Spark. In the film, Zecora is being performed by Megan Garcia, known mostly on YouTube as SooperTanzy.
And while Zecora’s role in the film is not as big as the rest of the main cast, she is still relatively vital to the story in a much more subtle manner. Regardless, we’re extremely excited to have Megan on board for the film and we hope you’ll be just as excited when she makes her appearance in Journey of the Spark when it releases in 2014.
Lighting the Spark: A Special Thanks to the BroNEcast Team
As Journey of the Spark draws itself closer and closer to finally exiting pre-production, I’ve found myself receiving countless offers to appear on Brony related podcasts and talk-shows to discuss the progress on the film. Having appeared not only on Everfree Radio, but BronyVille and BronyTalkShow in the process really goes to show how interested people are in seeing this film come to life.
Hell, the film is gaining so much steam that it somehow managed to sneak its way to my college campus, so much to the point where the school newspaper actually wrote an article on the film and myself, one that I will actually post a picture of soon!
But out of all of those experiences, none was more heartfelt, personal, and magical as the interview experience I had last Sunday on BroNEcast.
Interview Tomorrow on Bronyville Podcast!
Tomorrow afternoon at 12PM Pacific / 2PM Central, I’m going to be making yet another interview appearance this weekend! This time, Journey of the Spark is heading to popular Brony-podcast Bronyville, hosted by Apple Cider and Chef Sandy. Tune in tomorrow and it should be fun!
