Here's the final details about Project Thundercloud, my fan film about Derpy Hooves I'm working on since January.
- It's about the story of Derpy Hooves, the origins of her wall eyes, her name, her cutie mark and how she became a mailmare.
- The film is inspired by an unreleased animated movie called Colorless Stories I made in mid 2010 for a school project, this project wasn't very good, but it got the price of the best short movie that year.
- 7 minutes long, including the credits.
- Fully voice acted.
- This time the credits won't be boring.
- It's almost done, but as I will only release in August at BronyCon 2013, I will work on extra content with the free time.
- There's around 20% of the original script in the movie, I rewrote it three times while working on it.
- The original name for the movie was Project AIM (For Project Animation is Magic), then got renamed Project Raincloud as a reference to Friendship is Witchcraft before getting the final name of Project Thundercloud.
- I have shown a preview of the movie to my friends and the movie got positive feedback.
- There's four different builds of the movie that will be made :
- The first one being the BronyCon 2013 / Youtube build, this one is 7 minutes long and is the Director's cut.
- Then the Newgrounds build, as the original build features some content from the show I have to cut it, but this build will feature some exclusive content after the credits instead.
- The Colorless build (Youtube only), like the unreleased film, will only be made out of Flash and Open GL renders and will be timed exactly like the first build.
- The Source build, this one isn't a movie, but a .zip file with all the Flash, Blender and After Effect files used in the movie. This shouldn't be bigger than 500MB but won't feature the rendered scenes with it.
There's also another short film I made for the occasion named Call of the Storyboard showing how to animate a scene in 5 steps, it won't be uploaded on Newgrounds as I used content of the show for an example.
I can only include one image with my post, so you will find the rest on my Tumblr.
