Gravity Defying Ponies?!

BronyMike over on Youtube recently created this video as an experiment to see what it would look like if he removed all but one frame type for pony movement.  The results are...interesting to say the least.  You can find it after the break!

OH MY GOD! When they started running in the competition... priceless!

EssMan009 said...

Yeah very nice... Excellent.

Sotha said...

Um. . . that was interesting. The actual race part was great though. It reminded me on one of those carnival games.

Infusions said...

@EssMan009 He got you man :X

This was pretty... interesting, haha.

Benji said...

what the hell did I just watch?

Inconspicularity said...

Tomorrow there will be a remix of this.

Mr. Belfast said...

This is what happens when the animation budget starts running low.

Laurence Brown said...

Humorous. The distorted sound effects make it even better. Reminds me a bit of Tron, all they needed was colored lines trailing behind them.

Pyron said...

Love the random Pinkie and music.

David Reinold said...

Am I the only one who was more amused by their odd voices than the animation of it all?

This was priceless haha~

Marock said...

Massive, continuous wing boner :D

Octavia said...

I like the new dialect they're speaking in, very funky. :>

This was pretty cool. Reminded me of those old little carnival games too with the horses on poles racing each other.

dmtactical said...

This is what Friendship is Magic would look like if they DIDN'T have a good animation team.

Tosxychor said...

Bwahahaha, brilliant.

StarStep said...

It looks like they escaped from the carousel, especially during the race part.

mrjoshmacintosh said...

My Little Pony: Friendship is South Park

Deathaura40s said...

That was brilliant. Loved the kazoo as well.

StarStep said...

OH MY GOSH. I should of thought of this immediately.
Hasbro make a MLP:FIM carousel now!! I want to fly around with Dash.

Winged Justice said...

Its like they're skating on the ground... priceless bwahahaha!

Ryan said...

Whoa, WTF?! Applejack and Rainbow Dash "hovering" and "gliding", what the heck indeed. XD

And nice touches BronyMike - those minor things make the video more enjoyable. Now, onto these messages inspired by this video: "BEEP BOOOOOP BOOP BEEEEEEEEEEP!"

Arcane Scroll said...

The racing scene, best part! I would love to see just the race part slowed down to normal speed.

Kazoo was fun too :)

Matrilwood said...

The race reminded me of Armored Core.

Bobbyzero said...

Invisible speed bikes.

richfiles said...

Dat image, Dem Voices...

RoboPlot

Part Pony. One Frame. No Physics.

Dr. Henry Killinger said...

Reminded me of the lightcycles from tron during the race. Very entertaining.

shibboleth said...

Awesome... but at some point the distorted voices started sounding less like random noises and more like commands from Trollestia to go and convert more followers and troll the rest.

ZMorris said...

My Little Gliding Beeps, featuring Random Kazoo.

Admiral Awesome said...

I'll admit that my favorite part was the Pinkie kazoo.

Scoutaloo said...

This is hilarious, and the kazoo makes it even better.

I demand more pony kazoo covers!!!

Douglas said...

They kinda sound like Midna to me XD

James Corck said...

Wow! I'd never have imagined that just one frame could contain so much animation information. Really interesting video indeed.

Arcane Scroll said...

@Flatterscheu
If you look for a point in everything then you'll miss out on a lot of the fun that the world provides.

Osprey Hawk said...

Friction? Gravity? What in Equestria are those things?

Firleycat said...

This whole video just reminds me of glitching my old video games and have a character just moving around with no animation and messed up sound. Ahh, the old days of poor quality control in games.

Now if you excuse me, I have to find out if those Kazoo songs are on Youtube. I really need Nyan cat done with a kazoo right now.

Jav said...

They kinda look like speeder bikes in Return of the Jedi.

Jonathan said...

Is it just me or does it sound like they're shouting "asshole" several times during the running of the leaves in this video?

Viscra Maelstrom said...

I actually thought the kazoo parts with Pinkie was much more fun to watch than the video with the removed frames, honestly.

Sun Ray said...

You know I'm sure it would have been possible to remove the frames AND play the video at a slow speed.

I entertained myself enough fiddling with VCR's as a kid.

Hilltopper said...

Gumby ponies!

Seriously those old Clokey productions had Slidey "walks" 'cause they couldn't figure how to keep the model upright in a run cycle.

Aoshi Stark said...

Did anyone else out there instantly think of that carnival horse race game where you have to roll balls into the holes to make them gallop?

That's what the entire 2nd half of this reminds me of. Its just too funny.

Koshechi said...

I just saw the fairground ride escape and race seen from Mary Poppins re-enacted by pony's... brilliant!

Idle Drifter said...

Next thing we know a Brony Scientist is going to solve the problems of Physics at the Quantum Level. Resulting in a new age of energy resourses, faster than light communications, material science, and space travel.

RainbowDat said...

This is the funniest crap I've ever seen.

ЯainbowSparklə said...

So as a result of your expaerement, they became robots.... intruiging (the race was hilarious too, that gliding looks fun XD )

Psyducktales said...

Rainbow Dash must be part Togetic.

Nikita said...

If the laws of physics no longer apply in the future, god help you.

Gielnik said...

Is the author from the animation team or something? I can't imagine doing this without the flash files. Enlighten me!

Alan Solivan said...

Aww, I keep betting on Applejack and Rainbow Dash and they never win!

THIS CARNY GAME IS RIGGED

ColourSplash said...

To say that was random doesn't even begin tk explain that.

g1 - Sindiewen said...

We all know that ponies have no need to move their legs to move.

Profesor Rod said...

Okay... that was... weird? o_______o;;;

Pyrobug said...

It's like the magic helicopter...but ponies!

Timber said...

Its like watching a Monty Python skit.

bubsAKAvermin said...

PFFFFFFWHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

Homfrog said...

I had many laughs

Schnabatdern said...

But how will the leaves fall? ):

Duskfly said...

Strangely weird. o.O

SuperGiantRobot said...

Okay, this needs to have "Yakety Sax" as the background music.

Puzzle Plate said...

dang it my NES cartrage is on the fritz again

Solaira said...

Lol what did I just watch?

Naezo said...

That's flash loops for ya. xD

That was pretty entertaining. xD

Finghost said...

Best 3 minutes of my life

richfiles said...

I still say they sound like robots!

Part Pony, Part Machine, NO Physics

RoboClop

Also, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov is rolling in his grave, laughing his sacrum off! Flight of the Bumblebee, Pinkie Pie kazoo style, is BEST STYLE!!!

Sagebrush said...

I couldn't help but make Vrooom noises while watching the Gliding of the Leaves.

MoronSonOfBoron said...

Damn snakers abusing power slides.

Violet Droplet said...

Hah, pretty awesome if you ask me! Considering it was made with flash though, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. Looping an animation (their legs) seems like it'd be a pretty easy solution to show them moving around.

In all honesty though, for some reason I couldn't stop thinking about Mario throughout that entire thing.

Aleksandr said...

Lol, it looks and sounds like an 8-bit video game. XD

BronyMike said...

@Gielnik I just have the episodes downloaded and went by it and cut them out frame-by-frame on the side while I was watching other videos and stuff. If I had the flash files and was just animating these bits like this, it would kinda defeat the purpose of the whole video.

TheTokiEffect said...

Am I the only person who thought of Midna from Twilight Princess when they started talking?
