  • How Equestria Was Made: The Flipbook

    by Sethisto

    The Reddit pony group recently did a flipbook competition, and this is one of the stand-out submissions. That's a lot of paper right there! It could use some background music though.

    Anyway, check it out after the break!

      Really impressive; even Lauren Faust said so. I just wish the animator had been more consistent in capturing the drawings on film as he flipped through the books; there were times when the top half of the drawings became hard or impossible to see while the pages were being flipped.

      In all seriousness, though, that was incredibly well done. That had to be remarkably tedious.

      It would be so awesome to scan this page for page, to make an animation.

      But that alone would take nearly as much time as making the flip book.
