I half-expect Luna to get carried away with her Halloween performance, followed by a heartwarming ending after being driven to tears by the ensuing misunderstanding.

Huh... so slightly on-topic. I just got back from a part where I met another brony. I'm pretty sure I made his night by telling him about the Luna episode. seriously, he flipped out. 'Course, it probably helped that he was drunk off his ass, but still.

I'm just amazed that they call Derpy by name on the storyboard. I guess that's as close to official as it will ever get since Hasbro would never approve it.

It's pronounced "Te-ah-low-ve"

Man, why can't I ever meet bronies in real life?

So, Luna-related... a group of crazy dedicated bronies made this short.

...I think I'm spoiled on Nicole Oliver and Tabitha St. Germain.

Awesome brony fanartists are awesome. They are rapidly approaching Touhou levels of fanskill.

A case of true love has the same redeeming power as a case of genuine curiosity: they are the same.

Tell me about it. the show hasn't aired here and it is very difficult to find other fans :/

I agree. I think the fandom has inspired me in continuing my dream of learning visual arts

You ever heard of Art Student Owl?

This is Art Student Owl

. It's a warning. Art studies are HARD. And unhealthy as fuck.

MY GOD THAT ANIMATION WAS BRILLIANT!

#24116 Bagof Magic Food Sat, 1st Oct '11 10:01:52 AM

Anyone ever notice how Spike always finds the book Twilight is looking for before she does?

Implies Spike has good memory.

But Pinkie Pie has found books before Twilight Sparkle too...

Hey, remember when we were discussing who Ponyville's previous librarian might have been? Did anyone suggest Pinkie Pie? That would be pretty funny, and it could explain things like why she thought it was okay to throw a party there in episode 1.

#24117 kegisak Sat, 1st Oct '11 10:06:24 AM

Oh god, I can't stop reading those art student owl things. Seriously, every single one of them is spot-fucking-on (at least to judge from the people around my school). There's even one or two game design ones!

Somewhat along that note: I dunno, maybe it's because I've hung out with a few animators, and watch so goddamn much of it, but the short didn't really impress me that much. It wasn't bad, but it was just kinda... meh.

#24118 gingerale Sat, 1st Oct '11 10:11:50 AM from Finland from Finland

It's because Spike arranges the books and the way he does it makes. no. sense. If you've watched the episodes they're sorted by their -title-. What library does that?

What's the worst that could happen anyways?

#24119 Pacific State Sat, 1st Oct '11 10:13:23 AM from Reef from Reef

Ones where authors are not usually credited?

I liked the animated short. It was excellent for amateurish work.

#24120 Shota Sat, 1st Oct '11 10:14:22 AM

Yeah some polishing in details like the head turns, and that could probably pass for a real sequence on TV!

... who writes the books? I assume Twilight would be an author in a few years, and I suppose most of them are written in Canterlot anyway.

#24121 kegisak Sat, 1st Oct '11 10:17:55 AM

Yeah, I guess. I mean, for non-professional it was really good. But I guess at this point to hear people laud stuff like that I kinda expect to be blown away.

#24122 Death Cloud Sat, 1st Oct '11 10:27:50 AM

Idea!

Lune ep will have at least Nightmare Before Chrismas inspired song

They are like the others. Strange, hideous, resisting, fighting. Only these were not like the others. They did not die.

#24123 Ace Of Scarabs Sat, 1st Oct '11 10:30:30 AM from Singapore from Singapore

Luna's Lament was pretty decent. As a nitpicky cartoon/anime nut, I must say that it could use lots of tweaking and refining, but as far as it goes, it is definitely a great new beginning in Pony fanworks, and it won't be long before they achieve Touhou-level critical mass of self-sustaining FRIENDSHIP and TEA. Present Prank

was better in terms of animation polish and timing, but Luna's Lament is more ambitious in scope.

Replace Jack with Luna and revamp the lyrics. Reuse the imagery, 'tis awesome, especially the bit where she'd walk down a hill with the HUGE moon on the background... I mean, at least she has something to complain about.

#24125 kegisak Sat, 1st Oct '11 10:38:05 AM

Mm, for the length of it it was more ambitious, yeah, but overall the present prank was much more dynamic, which is much trickier than the simple walking around/talking. I dunno. It's definitely a good starting point for the team at least.

I don't know why I want to argue so much today, I'm so sorry.
