Description If you put her in front of a lava lamp, I like to think she'd do this for hours on end.


Now with audio! courtesy of ~ArtisticRender97 : who has done an amazing job of adding the much-needed dimension of sound! the music is Thomas Newman's Bubble Wrap! Also known as part of the Wall-E soundtrack.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

***DERPY IS ALSO A SCREENSAVER***: Clicky for DropBox link (Windows installer)

Click for flat .SCR file

Mac version: [replacement coming soon! Sorry ]

Mac version is rather temperamental (sorry, best I could do) but it coughs into life on my system, so hopefully it'll work for you.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, so here's my latest animation snippet. Oh man, did it suck trying to cram this thing onto DeviantArt. Did you know you need permission to upload 'films'? Because I didn't until about an hour ago.

I am rubbish at Flash, which I've had to use as a stopgap, so, there are no fancy preloading bars or anything (if it runs like poop on your computer, I'm sorry, I will upload a YouTube mirror in a bit). EDIT: Here we go, YouTube mirror .

It's still a draft, so no sound and quite an 'unfinished' feel (and rubbish compression quality thanks to shoehorning it into a Flash container) but hey, it's been a couple of weeks now and I'm desperate to share something. :3

It's the intro scene of a much larger project which I'm working on. No ETA for that, but I hope it will be awesome... You know, when it's finished. In ten years. Pfft.

I'll be upping more experimental animations from time to time while I figure things out, if people are interested in seeing more snippets and bits and bobs.


*Screensaver is a slightly lower frame rate, higher res, no audio, few mistakes fixed while I was at it. Not amazing quality (free tool used to convert a freshly made SWF) but should look okay on 16:9 monitors and whatnot. Let me know what you think! (Should be virus free, I'm not responsible if your PC catches fire blah blah)

YOU WERE THE ONE WHO MADE THIS?! I love this video! It's one of my all time favorites! So glad I found it

Yes that would be me! I wish these were easier to make, I'm not particularly good at animating (it's really fiddly) and there isn't much animated stuff out there for us. Having said that, there are some amazing animators in the community who have put out some awesome MLP stuff. Their stuff looks like it came straight from the show. Really impressive!

You probably get these requests all the time, but do you think you would ever do a screensaver of Twilight sparkle reading a book? (maybe a small fire in the background) I think that would be a fun screensaver.


Alternatively a balcony view of Equestria (trains coming and going, clouds swishing through cliffs of the canter lot mountains) as the princesses take turns every few minutes raising and lowering the sun and moon. Now that would be an epic screensaver...

I like those ideas! I did used to get a few requests but not so many for screensavers recently  


I'm not sure if I can add them to the list or not right now. That stuff was really time consuming and I'm slow enough with static comics as it is!! But if I were to make some more... yes, those ideas would do nicely


Thanks for commenting!

It's great but can you make a 1920x1080p version?

ParallaxMLP In reply to herpaderp357 [2014-01-23 00:18:48 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the feedback! It would slaughter most computers if it were so high res, I fear - I'm not sure it would look much better if it were sharper either as there isn't a ton of detail there to bring out. On the fence about that one!

...I may have solved your "Mac Screensaver" problem, !


What I did was that I saved this to my desktop, and went on over to the webpage for "ScreenTime", downloaded the free trial, and opened 'er up, and placed the SWF file into the "Main Screensaver SWF" box, and clicked install, twice.


Hope that solves the issue you're having! ^^

I do want to find a solution that works on EVERYTHING but there seem to only be expensive commercial solutions or naff freeware ones (like the current one)... sigh!

Doesn't install when using rightclick-install, runs fine if I just doubleclick the file.

SO I manually installed it into the system folder, and then it crashes on load. running win 8.

please help and see if you can fix it.

ParallaxMLP In reply to swyrl [2013-08-31 22:49:08 +0000 UTC]

I think Win 8 and the latest OS X are both a bit too new I get lots of reports that these don't work. Might have to find some new software solutions to see if I can make modern versions.

AH, thanks. well, hopefully I'll be able to get win 7 soon; my laptop just came with win 8 :/

anyways, nice job!

ParallaxMLP In reply to swyrl [2013-09-01 23:09:25 +0000 UTC]

Stick with Win 8 - as an OS it's generally faster and better than Win 7 (silly UI decisions aside). I've been getting used to it for a few months now and it's really not that bad. Plus if it came with your laptop, there is a chance your laptop supports it better at the hardware level (UEFI BIOS and all that) so you'll be losing out on very fast suspend/resume and boot times, etc if you switch to Win 7. You'll also get a free upgrade to Win 8.1 in October which has numerous improvements...


Thanks for the feedback!

Just wanted to tell you this: They made an official Equestria Girls Creator ( www.starsue.net/game/Equestria... ) and you can pick Derpy's eyes there. They're called "The Lava Lamp". I'm not joking, see for yourself.
