This video serves as a little (and I do mean a little) peek on how the scenes in animated shows can change throughout the production process. Believe me, this has not even scratched the surface as to just how deep the process can be. This particular scene is animated by yours truly, with the guidance, of course, from the animation director. But just to be clear, the final version is slightly edited by the post-production crew. So you might notice that the rabbits' slippery feet somehow, I guess, kinda made it into what you all saw on TV.

This video serves as a little (and I do mean a little) peek on how the scenes in animated shows can change throughout the production process. Believe me, this has not even scratched the surface as to just how deep the process can be. This is one of my favorite scenes that I worked on. I think it took me 2 days to finish this one, cause it's a lenghty and slightly technical scene. I also realized that this scene shares the same scene number with the scene on my first video. Funny coincidence, is all. :)

This video serves as a little (and I do mean a little) peek on how the scenes in animated shows can change throughout the production process. Believe me, this has not even scratched the surface as to just how deep the process can be. Yes, I know this scene is a tad short, and you might think that it's not worth discussing at all. But as you can see, even the shortest and seemingly unnoticeable seconds still need some serious checking and correcting.

An official, behind-the-scenes look at the making of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic!

This scene is a special one. I did not animate this scene. I'm doing this as a favor to my girlfriend, who's the one that worked on this scene. Unfortunately for her, her name didn't end up in the show's credits. She was a freelancer during that time and only worked on a handful of scenes. Eventually she was assigned full-time to another non-pony-related show. Ironically, for Season 2, she's the one that started as a full-time in-house artist, while I was initially the freelancer. But eventually I ended up working for MLP full-time again. :)

Discord escapes from his stone prison and Twilight and her friends act quickly to find the Elements of Harmony to stop him.

Bronies: The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of My Little Pony is a feature length documentary film that explores the cultural phenomenon of Bronies: a group of mostly young adult men who are dedicated fans of the animated series, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. One would be hard-pressed to find a cultural sensation as unique and as unexpected as Bronies. Why are these guys attracted to a cartoon intended for little girls? And why are they willing to brave society’s ridicule for their love of the show? The documentary discovers that the essential story elements of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic -- Honesty, Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Loyalty and Magic – have a universality that extends beyond age and gender and that Bronies are pushing the boundaries of what society deems appropriate in their quest for a kinder, gentler future. The film chronicles Bronies from around the world, each with their unique story, as they make their way to My Little Pony conventions in Germany, England and, the biggest of all, BronyCon in the USA. The revelations in the film are, indeed, unexpected and give hope to the notion that these Bronies might be on to something quite wonderful.
