Discord the Romantic

Ponies?

In MY Adventure Time?!

What IS this MADNESS?!?!

Also, Discord is apparently just as terrible as Ice King when it comes to flirting. What's up with that?

EDIT: Are you watching the animation, but seeing some odd problems and things going out-of-sync? Until I look into that and hopefully get it fixed, you can also watch this on YouTube instead (which is also good if your computer is slower than most)

This is a animation test I did of using "puppets" for animating in Flash. For the first time doing such a thing in Flash 5 (the organization in Flash 5 is terrible when it comes to layers... ), I think I did a pretty good job in constructing these puppets from scratch, even if they are a bit basic.

About "Puppet Animation":

"Puppet animation" is when you design and split up a character into separate objects, then move those objects around accordingly for what you want the character to do. To the animator (and sometimes the viewer), this is almost like moving a puppet.

MLP: FiM is animated using puppet animation: each and every character and object (with some exceptions, of course) is split up into parts, then animated little by little by different team members handling different parts of the puppet (one animator animates the eyes and mouth, another animates the head and body, another animates the legs, etc). After a scene goes by each animator assigned to it, you get a fully animated scene!

The puppets in this animation aren't as advanced or complex as the ones in those shows I mentioned, but I was trying to aim for a lively look and feel despite their limited build.

Feel free to tell me how you think I did. I'm all ears!
