You heard it right everypony! Journey of the Spark will be hosting its very first panel at Midwestria in St. Charles, Illinois on Sunday, September 16th! While I might not be able to make it to the con on such short notice, a few of my fellow crew mates will be presenting the panel for attendees at Midwestria!
If you’re heading out there, stop by our panel for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look a the making of film including two fully animated scenes from the film as well as concept art, storyboards, and a whole lot more!
Remember, our panel will be on Sunday, September 16th at 1:00PM! I hope you guys enjoy what the team and I are working on!
We’ve got another big announcement everypony! We’ve finally acquired a songwriter to help bring the musical aspect of Journey of the Spark to life. So please say hello to Brony musician Forest Rain!
Forest has been seen in the community making covers as well as producing his own original songs including the hit single “Hay Ms. Derpy” and was one of the main contributors to The Massive Smile Project in which he produced and created. In Journey of the Spark, Forest will be using his talents to write the original songs found within the film’s soundtrack.
We’re incredibly ecstatic to have him on board for the project and he is too! Look forward to the many amazing songs we’re collaborating on and look forward to a possible demo release!
After quite a few weeks of work, its time for your first inside-look at a scene from “Journey of the Spark”! This animatic features the voice talents of Meredith Sims and Reagan Murdock and has a track composed by Nick Keeling.
That particular picture you’re looking at is the front cover to the screenplay for “Journey of the Spark”. Just a few moments ago, the writers and I finished writing the grand finale to the film, far before we actually have finished writing the rest of the script.
When it comes to film production, especially for writing, its usually best to work your way backwards or any other way but straight. In the world of storytelling, finding a good beginning and an even greater ending is very difficult to do. Which is why so many people usually focus the most on the beginning and the ending first before thinking about what’s going to happen in the middle.
For “Journey of the Spark”, I actually came up with the ending long before we finally started putting it down on paper and it went through several re-writes before we finally came up with the final version tonight. Having looked at the story’s progression since its inception last year, its incredible to see how much this story has matured in terms of not just its ideas, but its message.
The ending that we managed to conceive is not only heartfelt, but thought-provoking and inspirational and I hope that all of you will enjoy it once “Journey of the Spark” releases in 2014.
