Description Twilight cracks open A Unicorn's Guide to Fire Fighting and tries out one of the techniques.

Uh, Twilight... I think you're doing it wrong

- - -

Created as my puppet test for the Double Rainboom project. More information about Double Rainboom can be found here: [link]

All credit for My Little Pony:Friendship is Magic and Twilight Sparkle goes to Hasbro/DHX and Lauren Faust.

Twilight Sparkle assets from Flamingo1986. Puppet rig here: [link]

EDIT: I found the background via a Google image search [link] , but I think it's from Drud14's My Little Pony: Flash Resource Kit [link] at my best guess. If anyone can verify this, I would really appreciate it!

EDIT: Sound samples were either pulled from MLP:FiM or found on findsounds.com

All other assets (book, candle, etc.) and animation are mine.

I've done better fire before (still pretty crappy though), but this was first and foremost a character animation test.

Magic and squee are from MLP:FiM. Fire, water, and teleport are from findsounds.com, except the teleport started off as some kind of internal combustion engine >_>

You'd think a book about firefighting wouldn't tell you to make the fire someone else's problem, lol.

I think it's quite clear who wrote that book.

Who other than she just sends a problem somewhere else? (Disgruntled little sister... send 'er too the moon.)

anzul In reply to ??? [2012-08-16 14:36:33 +0000 UTC]

nice animation, very fluid too, though, the reaction right before summoning the water is too suden, it looks like something is missing in-betwen reactions, im not expert but yeah... me-thinks

the water effect is realy great though.

and i think that the bitting-lip expression is easily over used or used out of context, carefull whit that if you get chosen to animate bro, over-use of that would dampen the quality of the whole episode.

again, im no expert, so yeaaah

Jor25 In reply to ??? [2012-08-16 08:26:50 +0000 UTC]

I like the animation, but I'm not a fan of the magic sound effect. If it needs a sound, I'd imagine it sounding lighter, and well, sparkly, not sounding like a sound effect from an instant messenger program.

Also, for the background, why not try dragging and dropping the file into google's image search? You might be able to turn up the source that way.

codefox421 In reply to Jor25 [2012-09-17 17:47:17 +0000 UTC]

The sounds were updated for DR Promo 3, and they sound a lot better. [link] I believe it was David Larsen who did sound design for the promo, btw.

Thanks for the suggestion about the background; it worked!
I didn't even know Google could do that!

"Teleport fire somewhere else." They didn't say exactly where to teleport it to.

She should have picked the moon. It's much safer to send stuff there.
