Okay, come on guys...

[lonktonk]

Sweet salty Jesus, you want to put genitalia on ponies?
Well, I know I can't stop you, so i may as well make sure you do this right and do not end up like a miserable, writhing failure.
Can't beat 'em, join 'em I say. I have Flash, and have had a lot of experience with horses. I know what they look like, anatomically speaking. Now here's the dealio, okay?
Animation require a variety of shots of characters, front on, diagonal, and side etc until a full angled rotation has been archived. You get me a few still shots of any of the mane6 facing directly away, facing diagonally away and facing side on the viewer and I'll make some nice little movieclips for ya's. It'll make life easier for ya's.

Now, I know what cho thinkin'.
LonkTonk, you smelly poo head, you forget they have nipples.
HEY! I'm getting to that, calm yo self.
Now, I'll want two shots. One of Pinkie rolling on her back, another of Rainbow Dash facing the screen in air, or flying or whatever.
Just get me a shot of their bellies.

Unlike that horrible hell named G3, there are male ponies in this world. Plenty of them.
I want shots of those guys too.



Spike.
Let's not forget him and give him some attention too.
Spike, my dear friends, is a dragon, as in, reptile.
Spike will get a single curved line, to be a cloaca.
That is all. That is ALL he needs.
Add anymore, and I'll fight tooth and nail to leave this place.
Any new characters can wait for now. I got a lot o' movie clips to make, granted you can help me first.

Peace out bros, stay strong. I live with a variety of animals and I do not see my dog roll over, wanting me to rub his belly, and feeling an over whelming urge to tell him his sheath is disgusting. Because it is not. He isn't trying to present his penis, he just wants a belly rub.
Point is, just cause it's there, dun mean it's being used for sex.
If this is done right, it'll be exactly like seeing cute real ponies, except cartoons.

tl;dr
DO IT RIGHT.

I think The PPPP's goal is to edit the episodes frame by frame, not to animate anything, so I dont know if "shots" will be relevant. I wouldnt be the right person to ask though.

[lonktonk]

Oh I assumed they were going to add it frame by frame in flash, as in, overlay the new details, to already existing animation.
I was going to create movieclips of each part so the team could simple place it over the real animation.

Or was I unclear in my explanation?

[ibrony]

Im sure that they do want to edit the episodes frame by frame, though whether they want to "draw" it onto every frame or do what you are suggesting, I dunno. You might have to ask PPPP that, and I think he is on "hiatus" till mid june for school finals. Anyway, are you saying that you need vectors of the characters? This group on deviantART has show accurate, high quality vectors directly from the show. Just go to the Gallery and look for the characters that you want. As for you "not being clear", the whole Vegas thing or whatever you have going on is a bit confusing.

Sorry if I am incompetent on the matter, I am not a video editor.

I have a question, will the genitalia be exaggerated like the other secondary sexual characteristics of the characters? See, when you're working with cartoons, prominent features are typically exaggerated, such as eyes, hands, and mouths. So will that continue with the genitals? If not, then how do we determine a standard size set, without looking too small? And if so, It's to be decided how much they will be exaggerated, and specifically how for each character.

Either way, character sheets will need to be created an followed for everypony to ensure consistency.

[lonktonk]

you raise a good question there, jiggle, jungleboi.
I say keep them small and not too "IN YO' FACE" or else they may very well come across as sexual, which is, as we all know, what they do NOT want.

I also tend to say, the mane 6 should all have the exact same, considering they all have the same body type as well, sans the mane and tails.


Oh yeah, to you, Mr iBrony, that site is what I should have thought of straight up, that works too.

I'll use that to create some nice graphics for the admin.

[P]

I'll get right on looking through the episodes and cataloging some reference shots. Could you provide a list of what you need?

[lonktonk]

3 Point turn away from camera
Directly away from camera
Facing camera directly, with body hanging down

You shall get more of the list after I get these shots.

[P]

On it. I take it any pony is fine?

[lasthorizon]

Glad to hear progress is starting.

[lonktonk]

ANY of the main 6 are fine.

[P]

The beginnings of my search:


Windows 7 stubbornly refused to make all screencaps the same size.

[lasthorizon]

I think the off to the side backshots may look a little ackward, such as the first one. Im interested to see how those turn out.

[P]

The off to the side backshots may not need much editing at all.

[lonktonk]

Thank you PPPP or w/e yo name is.
I will start the work that is needed.
