Double Rainboom

[Shawn Parks 1,798]

Luckily for me, I only heard about this fan-made episode a few weeks ago.  So I have not had to wait very long to see it.  Only two days left now.  I am excited!

 

 

I see that no one has posted the trailer in here, so I will now:

 

[Scootalove 10,689]

I can't wait for the Double Rainboom. Especially when it comes out on the 30th.

 

I know it will be a very great fan-made film, I can't wait to see the movie.

I have come here to lower your expectations little filly. If your expectations for Double Rainboom are not lowered, then I will be surprised and confused.

It's almost here

And It comes out on a saturday

It will be just like a new episode

 

My only question is if we are going to be able to download the episode.

Because I want the episode

Not just because I may like it, but because it will be a great example of what the fandom can achieve.

In some ways this is true, but I don't want to put it on a pedastal because in voice direction and writing, it's far from the best the fandom has to offer.

Hey there everypony!

 

So I heard that this guy Zachary Rich has been working on a fan made episode for a long time. I looked up the trailer and found out that it's coming out tomorrow! First Snowdrop, now this!

 

Anyway, you can watch th trailer for it here:

Well, there is exactly 2 days 13 hours 1 min and 20 sec left. It is on the webpage. But I look forward to seeing it, it will be so cool...I just wish I won't cry again.

"Double rainbow, all the way across the sky... It's so beautiful... Ah mah gah, ahhhhhhh! woooooooo!"

 

Looks pretty cool, I loved snow drop!

[DeiStar 248]

Based on the first 'leaked' half I saw, I'll say the episode is decent enough for being fan-made.

 

It really is trying too hard to be like the show, though, and that leads to:

 

-Awkward dialogue

-Terrible pacing

-Out of character

 

Animation is very good, but with terrible writing. It's just below a Merriwether-tier episode.

 

Also, the use of le epic memes and fandom overused jokes is a cheap way of forced comedy. The episode title might as well be called "Brony Memes: The Episode"

 

 

The dialogue between Twilight and Rainbow in the first 8 or so minutes feels awkward and out of character. Then you've got the Derpy pandering and the overused Scootachicken joke just for the sake of cheap comedy.

 

 

In short, I think this is pretty well-done for a fan-animation, but it's nowhere near the show quality--not even near to Mare Do Well episode. Granted, this is better than the OCfest Dawn's Dusk, and the cheap forced feels Snowdrop, but those two didn't try to be like the show, unlike Double Rainboom.

[SparkBrony 379]

I'd check out the leaked first half, but I want the whole episode to be a suprise!

 

Btw everypony, here's a link to their site: http://www.doublerainboom.com/index.html

It's gonna be awesome. 

 

I looked at the leaked first half and it's amazing. Lots of funny stuff in it. Dashie will be 20% Cooler when she pulls it off. 

[Thunderbirds360 22]

I refuse to watch any spoilers before i watch the entire episode. Because i don't want to watch only 8-10 minutes of said episode. It feels like it's incomplete to me.

@@SparkBrony,

Well this is kinda old news. I've known about Dounble Rainboom now some months now.

 

Anyways, I am very excited to watch it! I have seen the first half already and it seems good. (I know there is one scene you're all going to love, hahaha)

 

Also, this thread already exists

Oh wow, sorry, I didn't know there was already a thread for it! Guess there's not really any point in having this one if there already is one.

Hey there everypony!

 

So I heard that this guy Zachary Rich has been working on a fan made episode for a long time. I looked up the trailer and found out that it's coming out tomorrow!

My first reaction:

OMIGOSHOMISHOMISHOMIGOSHOMIGOSHOMIGOSHOMIGAWWWSH

 

Second Reaction: 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 

I mean, 

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

Third reaction:

?

yay.

 

And so here I am. I can't wait for this to air! I've heard that it will be the best pony video of the year!

Wait.. did I just rhyme?? X.X

[Dashabel 381]

Saw the trailer bout a month ago and I was like FUDGING AWESOME!! I can't wait! I think it's a great idea since we don't get anymore eps still next year Zachary... Whatsisname should make them more often! At least then my pony fix isn't just going to be old episodes or freaky fan made stuff. (Watched Snowdrop the other day, that was lovely)

I mean, GO RAINBOW DASH! Zachary Whatsisname obviously appreciates Dashie for her awesomeness, who better to star in a episode featuring an amazing DOUBLE rainboom! Scoots was too cute, and Dashie was as awesome has always. I like the look of the bit where Twilight is examining Dashie, lol, it's cute. I like to see a development between Dashie and twilight, especially now that she's an alicorn.

CAN'T WAIT!

[RollingPony 100]

I think it's going to be so  awesome!  and even if it's not as good as the actual show it's still something to watch till season 4 

I'm not going o watch the leaked half because of the surprise!

[Radiance64 7,053]

A fanmade episode huh... looks good from the trailer I've seen, and it should be releasing soon, no? I'll totally check it out, seems promising.

[Pulcinella 1,016]

Yus. Can't wait! I'm just wondering, though, will it be in color? Or is it going to all be in black and white? :/ If is, that would kinda suck. I do believe that they did a good job on animation and voice acting, though.

[IWTCIRD 7]

You all disappoint me greatly, you're the only group that seems to be mostly pleased by this, I believe you to be in the minority.

 

I treat this as both a compliment and an insult to the fandom

[Black Cloud 73]

Is this episode being animated and dubbed by studio B, Or is it all being done by fellow bronies and is being promoted by hasbro?

[IWTCIRD 7]

Is this episode being animated and dubbed by studio B, Or is it all being done by fellow bronies and is being promoted by hasbro?

Neither, the only reason Hasbro is approving of it is because it is an academic project. Honestly, this project both makes me realize why I love the fandom and why I hate it. I'm trying to express my feelings on it, it's difficult.

[Dark Qiviut 22,430]

Is this episode being animated and dubbed by studio B, Or is it all being done by fellow bronies and is being promoted by hasbro?

This is entirely fan-made by bronies. Flamingo1986/Zachary Rich wrote and produced it for the Savannah College of Art College and Design, beginning in 2011. Neither Studio B nor Hasbro are participating in the piece, and Hasbro gave him legal consent because it's an academic product (a.k.a., a Senior Project) necessary to graduate.

 

and it should be releasing soon, no?

Not just soon. It's being uploaded tomorrow!

I'd like to see more fan episodes try something original. I would like to see some fan made episodes explore more into the fanon that we've developed about the characters and Equestria, or hell try incorporating "What if?" scenarios that the fanfics love to do so much.

 

I'd like to see a hybrid, fan episodes about the characters we know, but taken in a different direction or exploring aspects that have only been seen in fanon or hinted on the show. I think that would be the best compromise and could produce a really amazing fan episode.

[FriscoPony 20]

Alright everyone, i'm sure if you all have been keeping up to date with equestria daily, then you are aware of the first fanmade episode Double Rainboom, which debuts at 8 pm CST during a livestream, and 8:30 pm CST on YouTube. Are you guys looking forward to it?
