My good friends are animators at Mino! Wow, this looks so great, guys.
I don’t care how you feel about friendship or magic literally everybody needs to watch this video right now
FINALLY SOMEBODY GETS IT
This is pretty much it, good video. In fact, this video talks about one of the major conflicts a lot of girls (like me!) have in adolescence: the concept of femininity is bogged down with so much social bullshit and systematic unfairness (and believe me, even as little kids we can tell) that lots of us feel we have to reject feminine things because we don’t want any of that crap. Even if we like it.
And I suspect, this goes for boys too. Because things associated with girls are also associated with that social bullshit, and they get constantly shamed by their peers to maintain their masculinity (The ‘Fag Discourse’, from C.J. Pascoe, this is an excerpt from a book I think all bronies should read) in adolescence, so they can’t easily take coded feminine things out of their dark hole either.
I would have felt way less ashamed of myself when I was a little kid if I had discourse like this to follow.
This video is spot on, and I encourage everyone to watch it, even if you’re not a pegasister or a brony.
Applause gif that I can’t dig up right now.
Yes, yes, yes. This is exactly why I fell in love with this show.
I WAS AFRAID I WAS GOIG TO GET MAD AT THIS VIDEO BUT HOLY CRAP IT WAS SO GOOD
I DON’T CARE IF YOU DON’T WATCH THE SHOW YOU SHOULD WATCH THIS :U
[he kept saying “feminity” instead of “femininity” though omg]Wow. I’m actually impressed.
I can’t put into words just how happy I am that this exists.
Wow dang. This pretty much summarizes a lot of stuff I’ve said about MLP and bronies.
this guy’s video analyses are always really, REALLY eloquent and well thought-out and I think you guys should check out this and his other videos regardless of whether you watch MLP
Hey, dudes! If you’d like to get some cool stuff, perhaps consider helping us out with Pokemon ‘Bridged to Alcon.
And if you happen to be a fan of my Vinyl work, but have never heard of Pokemon ‘Bridged, you can get a Vinyl print signed by myself from one of the reward tiers. A horse, of course!
yah yah consider donating, Pokemon ‘Bridged is funny as hell and I did some Vinyl art for this fundraiserrrr
Peter: It’s here! My intro film for the “Salty Toons” animation screening at Big Irv’s Gallery, which I curated and hosted this past weekend. I was so excited to create something that emulated the dark and gritty tone of the films that were screened, and to have a chance to revisit some stop-motion photography (it’s been 5 years since my last stop-mo film!). This was also the first time I used DragonFrame software and shot with a DSLR camera (courtesy of Andy London) which made everything beautiful - make sure to set your youtube player to 1080p resolution!
CLICK THE ABOVE PHOTO OR THE LINK BELOW:
And since I always enjoy looking back on the process of making a film and seeing the similarities and differences between original ideas and final result I thought I’d post some storyboards, tests and behind the scenes photos from my process. Below are the original boards, which include an alternate intro involving making popcorn on top of the salt-machine (boards #1-8). I decided to scrap this portion when I realized the story was more about the journey of the salty mixture.

Here are some early concept sketches of the salt machine and basement set, as well as the film’s well-worn supplies list. Lots of trips to Home Depo and Utrecht:
Below is the basement set before the dead plants and dirt floor were added. While there are lots of little details included that may not completely register to the viewer in the brief moments they’re on screen, I do think they subconsciously get recognized and contribute to an overall reality. Plus the more detailed the set, the easier it is for the filmmaker to feel inspired and immersed in the environment while shooting:
The counter top set was pretty small in actuality. I made 3 tiled wall sections that were movable so I could rearrange them according to the shot, in order to convey the sense of a larger space:
Set lighting is VERY important (as is a good camera). Check out the before and after difference:
The actual room where I shot everything was a mess of homemade solutions to get the desired result - you can see I put a blue t-shirt over my globe light to add some diffused ambiance, and I separated the colored lightbulbs on top of the set with cardboard beer cases to keep the colors from bleeding together and to help define them better on camera. But you’d never know that looking at the final shot:
Lastly, I went back over some of the footage and animated flames and flowing salt goop by hand (frame by frame) using Flash. After I roughed out the animation, everything was cleaned up and then composited onto the original footage using AfterEffects:
Finally, all that was left was the sound design - which can really make or break a film. I set the tone with this great version of “In the Hall of the Mountain King” by Trent Reznor that had a lot of distortion and electronic interference, which suited the style of the footage really well and helped set an audio direction. Having a partner who is a professional film sound designer was also pretty helpful. We sat down together and figured out ways to include subtle sound effects that complimented and integrated with the soundtrack. There’s lot of film projectors, record players, television tubes, static and even some deer rutting calls and a cash register!
And so that’s how I made a 1 minute film in 2 weeks! Looking back on it, it was a lot of work but extremely fun and gratifying. Now I can’t wait to start something new!
peter is cool
So the White House released their April Fool’s joke, a video with a kid president, which would be pretty unremarkable except this kid KILLS IT. It’s like a minute long, just watch it.
“I think I’m stuck.”
