I'll check when I get home, but I'm pretty sure that magazine has both horrible clip-art comics for original stories, and show screenshots for a shortened version of an episode. :pinkieshrug:

Huh...that could very well be true. I've been looking for the magazine at local kiosks and haven't found it yet. I'll try searching in Benidorm later on.

I got home to check. While there is clip-art everywhere, there are no clipart comics. There's a screenshot story of One Bad Apple, a non-screenshot story of Spike At Your Service, and this.

:shepspike: I'm driving!

I only have the one issue though, so maybe there are clipart comics in the other UK issues. :pinkieshrug:

So the rigged Leo Awards are up and the nominations for FiM is:

Best Musical Score: Pinkie Pride

Okay, not too much of a fan of those songs (I guess they mean more than one song) but it had high production values and they were enjoyable at the time

Best Sound: Power Ponies

Alri- Wait...

What?

Best Sound for Power Ponies? :pcstare:

Best Sound...

Best... Sound....

...

I'm sorry but, maybe I was having tinnitus or hearing problems when I last watched it but I don't recall anything that impressive from the sound department on that episode and honestly I don't find the sound design for FiM to be that impressive. It's good but to be awarded for a Sound Award? Unless the competition is rather weak as of late...
:ponynet:

So it's going up against: Mighty Might Monsters in New Fear's Eve and Monstrous Holiday.

Plus I guess the Leo Awards (correct me if I'm wrong) are ONLY for people in British Columbia so eh, I guess if that's the case... :pinkieshrug:

But I'm fine with Pinkie Pride :amazing: My favorite song of S4 (and possibly only memorable one) is Bats! but whatever :twasnothin:

Hey, any nomination for the show is good at this point. The "award winning" My Little Pony has a nicer ring to it and probably could help sales.

This just popped into my head:

Image
At the beginning of the season, when they rolled out the new opening, everyone was speculating about what this meant for the show -- were other characters going to be sharing the spotlight? Were we going to get a Snails-centric episode? Was it just an attempt to add a little variety to the old photo?

I think we can safely say so far that the supporting cast here have not all been a huge part of the season. The CMC and the Apple Family, sure, but Snips and Snails were only in "Flight to the Finish", Zecora was only in the season opener, the Mayor was... I think only in "Flight to the Finish" and "Breezies"? And I don't think the Cakes have appeared outside of a few lines in Pinkie's party-planning song.

So... I guess I'm still confused about when or why Twilight & co. had this new photo taken! :pinkieshrug:

If not merely to add variety, as you said, then it was also to demonstrate how they've become a part of Ponyville and that all those other ponies matter to the main characters. Snips and Snails likely got into the picture since there was space on the right for a couple more kids. The only other particularly notable kids are Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, and they're, y'know... kinda evil. :nngh:


Also, Snips and Snails did make a silent appearance in For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils. They were in the crowd after the play and Spike was talking to them before the CMC started hitting him up for attention.

I think the Mayor just walked into that one, wanting to pretend she meant something. :-I

Well, you know how a lot of shows will redo the opening every few seasons to change out the clips, but they're still only clips from previous seasons? Same principle.

Yeah, yeah, but I'm just trying to imagine the conversation.

:excite: Okay, everyone! World-famous photographer Photo Finish is here to get a few shots of the Elements of Harmony! Girls, gather 'round like our old photo. Oh, and you too, Apple family!
:scootawoo: Ooh! Applebloom, you get your photo taken with the Princess? Can we be in it too?
:excite: Sure, why not?
:doomed: What is this great menagerie? Is this a photo opportunity?
:sheepish: Yes, Zecora. You're pretty tall with the hair, so you can stand next to the Apples.
Image I'm proud to lend the official support of Ponyville to this event!
:-/ That's... whatever you say, Mayor. Let's just get this picture taken before everyone's eyes dry out.

I kept expecting a tie in with the Hunger Games. Might have been because the commercials had them in woods that looked like the ones from the first movie though. Probably too violent to officially associate with NERF, but they were certainly going for the imagery.

Rarity appears to have some knowledge of photography, as it looked like she had her own camera, and she was the pony to take the picture in May the Best Pet Win.

Photography in Equestria likely isn't too much different from ours. We've seen those old-timey cameras a couple of times early in S1 (and Photo Finish still wields it in the S4 intro), but past that most Equestrian cameras appear to be fairly modern single-lens reflex cameras, with electric flashes.

I assume the big bulky ones are how the high-end studio ones are built in their world. I don't know enough about photography to know if that makes sense or not, but professional level electronics do tend to be built similarly to older, larger models to take advantage of both modern tech and the designs that were originally made to compensate for the lack of it.

The slide film used in those medium-format bellows cameras are much larger than the 35mm we're used to, yielding higher quality studio prints :spike101:

Something I've been working on for years, a credits guide for MLP. Here's what I have so far on episode-by-episode basis.

Credits for whole series is here.

Few things of note:

Meghan McCarthy has written, or co-written, the most episodes, with 18. She is also the only writer to work on all four seasons of the show.

Dave Polsky, Charlotte Fullerton, and Amy Keating Rogers all returned after being absent for a season.

As the show gets older, fewer and fewer season 1 writers are sticking around. For season 4, the only writers involved since the beginning were McCarthy, Polsky, and Rogers. And also Fullerton, but she only did one (and it was shared with two other writers), so she barely counts.
