Hey, whatever happened to that guy who was making high quality 3D pony models, months ago? Someone posted this gif of Fluttershy making some great expressions (nothing like the uncanny valley Source filmmaker ones) and I haven't heard of it ever since :pinkieshrug:

:v: would be very appropriate if she took up THAT kind of horn-jousting. But yes, a few spiky bits was not at all unheard of for war-barding.

And a "real" little pony unicorn would suffer horribly trying to do the same, considering jarring the horn alone is painful. I imaging gouging people even with a horn-cover would be the kind of thing that makes a migraine seem like a pleasant tingle.

If you mean these it's been about a month since the last update on them, and they don't seem to put progress updates up very often.

To be fair to that person, it takes a damn long time to good-looking animations (especially 3D ones), and some people prefer to show stuff off only when things are completed.

Wow, I'd never actually seen these before. IMO, 3D pony animations are pretty hit or miss. But these are great - the effort in them is obvious. Plus, I love 2snacks' YouTube stuff. Two Best Sisters is one of my favorite fan animation projects! :awesomedash:

I'm glad they're focusing on the correct pony to test these things out on. :dreamworks:

Maybe it's just me, but it feels like there are more appearances of unicorn in pop culture after FiM took off.

Unicorns have existed in art and literature for centuries. Unless it's a more explicit reference (such as the "Pastel Unicorns" that Dana Simpson uses in her strip, Heavenly Nostrils), I doubt FiM is responsible for any sort of resurgence in the use of unicorns in media.

I dunno, I wouldn't be surprised if "crush you with my magical rainbow" was at least a little MLP inspired.

An interview of Lauren Faust. While i thought it was going to be more about Medusa, her upcoming film, it turned out to be an insightful look into her past. How she met Craig, her likes, etc.

And we learn that Hasbro liked Galaxy Girls but at the last minute an executive gave her a DVD of MLP and asked her to have MLP be like Galaxy Girls.

I think we've heard that story before about how Lauren's Galaxy Girls pitch to Hasbro morphed into her getting MLP, so there's not much new there. (At least, not much Pony-related new stuff.) I like how the only pony they really showed was Lauren's OC.

I am so going to watch Medusa when it comes out. Sounds like it's got a "Wicked" vibe to it- it might be the closest thing to an animated version of Wicked that we get, actually.

Also it's great to see Lauren getting to make new, exciting stuff.

Is that really an entire album? I guess it is, since singles usually came out on the smaller 45 RPM disks, and those had much bigger holes in the middle of them. Too bad the photo quality is ass.

I actually know a guy who can transfer digital videos to 16mm cheap. If I can find a copy of an episode on high enough resolution that I can send him.. :smirk:

Speaking of old media formats, here's something I thought of recently. You know what would be pretty much perfect for ponies? 8-track tapes. For anyone not familiar with them, they're these things:
Image

Big, chunky cassettes with four stereo audio channels on them. Due to their size, the cassettes would be incredibly easy for ponies to carry in their mouths, and with controls on the more portable players as simple as a volume dial and one big button to switch between the four channels, even a creature with no fingers could work them pretty well. Of course, these things were already pretty much out of style by the time the '80s started, so I doubt we'd ever see these in Equestria.
