Get Hype!

1 min read
So this Saturday is the premiere of the 100th episode of MLP:FiM featuring background ponies almost exclusively. I'm curious how this will play out.

Also on Saturday I should have something uploaded onto youtube (and likely DA) that people have been waiting for for a while, so look out for that ;)

The main bit of animation (body animation for the Doctor and Derpy) is finally done. All that's left to do for the first part is some clean-up stuff, adding background characters, adding backgrounds and lip sync. Shouldn't take anywhere near as long as doing the other thing.

I'm hyped that I'll be able to release something substantial after so much inactivity.

Twilight's Smile by SpenceTheNewbie

The other two parts should be released in short order since I plan to make them animatic-style simply to get them out of the way and I can focus on making other videos (like the Irish Drinking Song video that I haven't touched in forever).

Holy balls, I felt a lot of symbolism in the season premiere. From cults to tumblr extremists to social justice warriors this two-parter seemed to just dish out the political butt symbols. I also got a strong vibe from these episodes that reminded me of the Jonestown massacre.

Honestly, as far as showing this to kids, it's a good couple of episodes. It shows that there is no one way to view the world while at the same time teaching not to bash your ideals onto others who may not share your views.


As far as Twilight and the gang goes, I fall under the camp that says there's really no reason to have all 6 there beyond plot. It seems Pinkie will never be written consistently outside of her own focal episodes. She's just really not fun to watch. (but that's just me)


What did you guys think of the premiere?

So after a hiatus and much deleting of old stuff from my old laptop, I've managed to get Flash CS6 running again so the missing files lost in converting to CS5 are now back and I'm now on the last 3,500 frames of body animation for a Doctor Whooves release.


I plan to finish the musical scene first and give a copy to BalddumboRat to upload on his/her youtube channel exclusively. So keep a lookout at www.youtube.com/piercesmoulder


I've decided to also work on bits of older projects as well as brainstorm other things to do (pony and non-pony). Expect a couple more Home Movies ponification vids, VGCats and a couple educational musicals from the 90's.

That is my goal for the year. Finish Doctor Whooves and do some short animation stuff.

DEAD LAPTOP

1 min read
So my primary tool for animation is FUBAR. My 3 year old laptop finally gave up the ghost. I'm currently using my old laptop from waaaaay back when the first VGCats cartoon I did was fresh. Unfortunately I do not have Adobe Suite on this computer so I'm unable to continue work on Doctor Whooves for the time being. I plan to either buy a new computer or have my best buddy build me one. Either way I'm planning to finish at least the first part of Frostbite (episode 4 of Doctor Whooves) by early December.


I'm so close to this release, you don't even know! It's like tripping several steps away from the finish line in a sack race!
