Original title: MLP: FiM - Double Rainboom Test Animation 1 - "Problem Solved?"

This is a test animation for the animation project: "Double Rainboom"

Check the site here:

I had to show that I could make my own animation with using one of the "animation puppets".
But the technique is new for me and it's also the first time I use it.
After some research I got more used to the animation technique.
I know that I still need to do more research, but I wanted to show what I can do already.

All the Flash CS animation feedback and tips and tricks are always welcome! =D


I hope you enjoy it!

How do you use the puppets?! For some reason I can't get them to work!

I'll link you to a tutorial of the pony animation puppets, a tutorial made by my teacher and friend: Zachary Rich, the director and producer of "Double Rainboom"

Here is the link to it: [link]

It looks like you're headed in the right direction with this! It shows you definitely know how the puppets are put together and how to use them. I'm also an animator for Double Rainboom, so I'm going to try to give you the most complete and honest feedback I can.

The first thing I noticed is that Twilight feels very stiff and static. This is actually something that I got called out for with the first iteration of my puppet test too, so no big worries. Whenever Twilight moves any part of her body, the rest of her body should move as well, usually either to compensate a shift in weight or in reaction to the motion.

The second thing I noticed was how the neck outline sometimes pushes into her body or her neck mane isn't quite tucked behind her ear. I saw someone else already suggested making modifications to the puppet parts, so I won't go into further detail.

I didn't see it the first couple times through, but I noticed that you move Twilight's pupil independently of her iris and eye shines. While that's the way it works in real life, I'm fairly certain MLP:FiM always scales them together. (Please correct me if I'm wrong though.)

Finally, this isn't an error so much as a suggestion: Twilight's reaction to the Rubik's cube solving itself is rather subdued. Since something that she can't explain is happening right in front of her face, she's probably very surprised. She would maybe be turning her head every which way to try to find what caused it. She might even jump back away from it. (I'm just throwing out suggestions though, you'll have to decide how she acts for yourself.)

And that's it! You have here a solid start, and I for one can't wait to see the final product. Keep up the great work!
