I've already started assembling the third episode of Doctor Whooves and the Assistant and it's coming out extremely nicely. My goal whenever I do a cartoon is to always outdo my previous cartoon. I will say adding a movable neck has significantly improved the body language factor. (you'll notice in the first two episodes the necks don't move at all or rarely)
But anyway, to explain the header:
While I was putting the Doctor and Derpy in their respective places and giving them life so to speak, I was wondering how I would handle the background ponies I want running around while our protagonists are doing their shtick. I had an idea that I would post the OCs of various artists or fans to run around and such. Not a huge deal. Problem I see is deciding which ones to use, or I could have people commission me for a spot, or I could hold a fanart contest, or I'd give up and just use the BG ponies in the previous episode.
What do you guys think?
Should I add OCs to the background?
If so, how should I choose the OCs?
Lets brainstorm!
I won't be putting background ponies into the cartoon until I get the main characters in place. So there's a lot of time to decide.
(shorp is gonna be in it, no matter what you guys say It'll be a "where's Waldo" type deal)

Get Hype!
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 ;)

Status Update! :D
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.
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).
Dat Season 5 premiere (relatively spoiler-free)
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 wi
Update!
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 http://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 f

Aw, that is a very cool idea might end up like Derpy, which would be awesome!
