...It was definitely worth it. In short, the movie was awesome, and you would definitely be missing out if you choose not to see this in theaters. I'll admit, I was skeptical of the movie before it began - in fact, I was afraid of how bad it could be - but my fears were extinguished about five...

Welp, I've finally done it - I've set up a tumblr for the 4DisMagic project I've been working on for the past while. All of my videos, concepts, and sketches will be going there now rather than on everypony.com. If you're interested in checking out the new blog, or if you want to see what's...

It's been a while since my last post - I hope I didn't lose your interest by now! (That is, if you've been following my blog on this project up to this point. *Otherwise, welcome to my project blog!) Anyway, I have finally finished the basic layout of the show building - queue, preshow,...

Still keeping this idea in mind (designing a [awesome] My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic 4D show for any nearby conventions willing to host it in a good while from now), I've been using sketchup to create a virtual model of what the show building's layout will be in a way which can let me...
