Equestrian Innovations Builds Portal to Equestria



There has long been tension between our two races. There has been strife. There have been wars. But, mostly, there has been love and tolerance. Today, Equestrian Innovations brings us all one step closer to peace.

The new EQI commercial is after the break, along with a behind-the-scenes look at some of the visual effects used in the short.

Trollface

Phantomsniper said...

@Adrian Brony they got to make money somehow

Xeonneo said...

I still care about socks...

Altercation said...

Shut up and take my money. Oh god, I laughed. Laughed so hard.

It's been a long wait since the last EI, and by Celestia it was worth every moment.

GabuEx said...

Damnit, man, where do I sign up for this!?

Sigil said...

That's a lot of money, do you take checks?

Ewyndall said...

I better start saving for this.

Scraticus said...

Stargate Equestria Daily...

Rainbow for O'neil
AJ for Teal'c
Twilight for Daniel Jackson
Rarity for Carter (maybe)
Celestia as hammond

lol crazy

Roxsnow25 said...

Dang it, Just take my money!! honestly,this would be worth it.

Lupus Albus said...

1000 bits = 1.5 million dollars
2 bits = 1 apple pie

Man, our economy really has tanked.

TehRedMage said...

Obvously you understand, we are honor-bound to come up with an acrony that forms ALICORN, right?

Flutterfan said...

my take. money it...derp.

do you take checks?

The Cyan Flash said...

Would you mind if I paid you... In gum?

Trident lays, come on, you know you want em'.

Calamity Dash said...

I have a lot of money lol

Naezo said...

That was amazing. Great job, Cereal, that was very well done and very funny. xD

sandwichman said...

$1,499,499.99 eh? well that's only £908,732.80! let me get my wallet!

Adrian said...

cereal you are a genius. this made me laugh my ass off.

also, im now buying lottery tickets by the thousands. i WILL get £1.5M. anything I win above that is going to the bronies for good charity, because, seriously, do you really think I'll need money where I'm going? exactly.

darkflame7 said...

This is amazing. But Apples must be expensive in Equestria... If it takes 1000 bits to go to the moon and 2 bits per apple, then WOW. You could fly to the moon with 500 apples.

Or with 500




mmmm BANANAS!

Vyuun said...

$1.5 mil for a commercial space flight? That's a bargain!

Desert Rose said...

@Desert Rose

Who are you and WHAT THE HECk?!

Adrian said...

also, would it not have been easier take a still of the wall and then add the portal vid on top, and then add an artificial shake? not that I know the first thing about animation (because I'd totally be animating ponies all the time if i did)

Pony Corp - Ren said...

Y IT NO FOR REALZ?
*sob*

CTVulpin said...

*clap* *clap* *clap*
That was so amusing. Cereal, you rock.

DJnbeta said...

That "making of" video was fantastic. It's amazing how much editing goes into a less than two minute long project.

Baree said...

I laughed so hard when *BOOM*.

Great stuff as always.

NDupree93 said...

@Lupus Albus
doing the math...that's $3,000 dollars for an apple pie!

That better be one good pie...aw who am I kidding, it's Applejack's, of course it's good.

Atiarotias said...

Will they take credit card?

KiraFan05 said...

To get to Equestria? I'd pay it.

eaglehooves said...

DO WANT!! Geez, 1500-1 dollar-bit exchange rate though, didn't realize Equestria was doing that well. Looks like I'll have to get a pony to pay my way through. That or build my own... Hmmm... If there's a big explosion around here soon, my bad.

Freekles1245 said...

Where is the star rating, i can´t find it anywere!
Anyway, 5/5. Great job and funny, as aways.

The Dread Pirate Roberts said...

You're a nut. Just in case no one else has told you yet.

Exactly the sort of person I really like to hang out with. :-)

Videogame9 said...

"That puts this number in the ballpark of 'a lot of money'."

I laughed so hard.

xXFAT PIGXx said...

Shut up and take mah bits! Do you take down payments?

Octavia said...

Haha, simply awesome. If only, if only...

Will they accept an IOU? :D

Masky said...

To the Moooooooooooooooon! I go.

The Transformers Nerd said...

Is it ok that I kinda liked the newer fluttershy/background ponies banners from a few days ago equestria on the moon.....ALL MY MONEYS TAKE THEMS!!!!!!!

SaintNox said...

But Cereal I still do care about socks D:

And on a side note: MY EUROS TAKE THEM!!!

SIaanme said...

Outstanding. I only have one question. Does the exit to this portal end up on Equestria's moon? I need to know if I should buy Luna gifts before I head through or not.

Timber said...

If that were real I would sell my body to science to get the bits to do it. then I'd NEVER come back.

Cold in Gardez said...

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just put the portal in a chamber filled with inert gas?

David Reinold said...

Forget the internet, Cereal just won at SCIENCE.

ShakeBunny said...

1.5 Million, and I get to go to Equestria? I'm opening up a savings account tomorrow.

Detoxicity said...

Damn.. That exchange rate...

Pony Corp - Ren said...

Yes, it would be cheaper, but ya gotta make money somehow.

Rainbow Crash said...

Portal to Equestria, Y U NO REAL?!!!!!!!!

Dr. Henry Killinger said...

I was waiting for a Half Life reference the entire video. It never came...

But that's ok, the quality more then made up for it. It looked like a lot of fun to make.

John said...

You got a sign-up list?

Raigar said...

Hmm, I wonder what that would convert to in TB...

M1Abrams said...

Worth every single penny...If only it were real....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Sdash said...

If the exchange is true find 500 to 1000 apples to trade for the bits.... Surely somepony would be happy to make the exchange..... Right?

Jack Clover said...

im glad im not the only one to think that it looked like a stargate

^Graff said...

...
Well, I'd best start saving up, then...

Embermane said...

Plan A: Become a computer programmer.
Save every dime I make.
Pay for ticket in ten years.

Plan B:
Go to Las Vegas
Win big
Go tomorrow.

Choices...choices...

Namefag Anon said...

i think Scootaloo is a pretty cool guy. eh makes good videos and doesn't afraid of anything

ElectricZoNe said...

That is simply amazing Cereal.

C.Olimar788 said...

I would pay it. Somehow. I WOULD GO AND IT WOULD BE AMAZING.

Well, actually, it would partly depend on how the portal worked with Equestrian physics. Would I still be stuck being a boring human? Because that would be awfully boring. And human.

Decayed said...

@C.Olimar788 That would be AMAZING TO be a human in Equestria. Lyra would be your biggest fan, and you'd actually be special. You'll teach Lyra human stuff, and she'll teach you pony stuff. nuff said

Navy Brony said...

@Embermane

Play Craps! Best odds in the casino, and probably the most fun game to play.

Profesor Rod said...

BRAVO!

*CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP*

BRAVO!


lol at the idea of the PtE needing vacuum to work and so placing it to the moon. Hilarious :D

ロペスホセエンリケ said...

Okay, 1000 bits... But, 1 apple costs 2 bits, so therefore this trip should cost roughly 167 apples. That is roughly $249 worth of apples. Tell you what, I'll give you 167 apples and you can sell them in Equistria as "imported" apples for 3 bits!

Deal?... DEAL?! No? Hmm, do you accept checks then?

The Radio Dragon said...

O.o Ok when we said we wanted a portal to equestria we were joking.

I swear the unofficial brony motto is "If it dosn't exist, we'll make it ourselves!"

EonMaster said...

ok, I'll take a 1.5mil loan, travel to Equestria, and never return back!

Innovations gets its money and I get to live in Equestria. Both parties I care about win. I'll leave the bank to try and figure out where I've gone. :D

Guywithpasta said...

It's not a matter of "if", it's a matter of "when" and "who"...

Somepony's gonna include this in their fanfic. I would, if I hadn't already planned out the inter-dimensional travel.

bobmortar said...

Hey $1.5 mil dollar is only 287 million HUF!
Where do I pay for this? :D

Erin said...

Oh my pony. I now wonder why there is no MLP/Stargate fanfiction. Carter + Twilight = YES PLZ

Rexhunter99 said...

@DJnbeta
You have no idea, no idea at all.
I worked on a CGI clip for my media class, it was 5 minutes long and it took me months to get it done.

Mooke said...

Ok, so the portal only operates in an oxygen free environment?

Unless Equestria is oxygen free too (which would be bad) the other side of the portal would have to be on the moon too? Right?

Don't care, want anyway..

James Corck said...

That was great!

Cereal, you are a fantastic editor! I really thought you built a small version of the portal and shot it. It didn't look digital at all. I think it might be the monitor I'm using now, but that looked really cool. Good job!

Firleycat said...

"Apparently, the portal does not like oxygen that much"

A scientific discovery that would make Cave Johnson proud.

Stephen Cawking said...

so you put the portal in....

SPAAAA- *banned*

Calbeck said...

ALL MY GODDAMN MONEY, TAKE IT, NOW YOU HEARTLESS BASTARD

Laurence Brown said...

ALL MY MONEY... what? You actually have a specific price tag? That's new... How much?

(check his bank balance)

Oh dear.

(cracks his knuckles) Okay Cereal, looks like I'm going to have to break more than a few laws to get that money. But once I get it, then I'm off to Equestria, which means I'm outside of the jurisdiction of whoever may be pursuing me for a string of bank robberies, muggings, and blatant plundering of every 'take a penny, leave a penny' jar is a 1,000 mile radius of my house. So, just tell me what time to show up at the launch pad, and I'll be there with the money (hope you'll take pennies by the truck load).

SteelRanger42 said...

"Apparently, the portal does not like oxygen that much" does that mean there's no oxygen in Equestria? am i the only one who sees a few potential problems with that?

Mr Nutt said...

Money? Where we're going we won't need money.

Luna said...

@Phantomsniper
Yes, let them put it on the moon and have their only fee be transport to it.

And in the mean time, I'll give free rides to the moon, and They'll Never Know The Difference.


Now, Who wants to go to Equestria!?

Erin said...

"Do you really think you're gonna need money where you're going?"

Applejack says yes.

Sotha said...

I would so totally take that portal. The making of really illuminated it for me. So now I must ruminate, and the only conclusion I can come to is that it is superbly made. Top drawer.

I like how the only thing possible was to put it on the moon. I mean, it's not like chambers filled with noble gases (or chambers filled with vacuums) exist or anything. That part of the video had me laughing, as did the "a lot of money." I mean, $1500 per bit isn't that bad, right?

@Decayed
Eh. If I were to go to Equestria, I do not think I would like to remain human. Besides, wouldn't Lyra just take the portal in the opposite direction?

@SteelRanger42
I don't think it is what is on the other side of the portal that is interacting with the oxygen, but rather some aspect of the portal itself.

SomeGuy said...

Cereal this was the best Equestrian Inovation ad yet. This was awesome to watch, and thanks for the behind the scenes.

lwllw said...

DID ANYONE SAY MURDERING AI WITH POTATO?no?owell,nice portal anyways

Altm3th0d said...

DAMMIT WHY DOES THIS NOT EXIST YET!!!???????

Chaos Knux said...

1000 bits? Awesome, that's nothing to my rich non-bitch OC. She can buy it for me.

bri_chan said...

$1.5 million? That's cheap compared to what other space programs want just to get you in orbit.

Devil Dan said...

@bri_chan

I guess EI don't have to get you back from the Moon.

Kapten-N said...

At that conversion rate one of Applejack's apple fritters would cost $3000! :O

PikalaxALT said...

@Freekles1245 They did away with the star rating system about a year or two ago. They use Likes and Dislikes now.

Duke_Nukem said...

Ok, seriously, they should offer free rides to the first 10 people who post here. That way, I'm first. Because if they do this, sign me up. I'm sure this would be good as a teaser before the pay-to-ride thing. Come on, first 10 get it free? There's an ad no one would miss out on.

Duke_Nukem said...

@Luna

Luna, take me with you!!!!
