About Us, FAQ, and Rules

Welcome! This group is intended for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic flash animations and cartoons. If it moves, it's probably in here: we accept and feature art ranging from GIFs, flash movies, music videos, and games.

:bulletblue:Why join? If you create or even just like the medias mentioned, and of course like MLP:FiM, then this group is for you.
:bulletblue:Submission limits are currently 3 per day. I'll raise the limit if it gets to be inconvenient for anyone, or lower it if the group picks up speed and submissions get to be too frequent. Animators are a little more few and far between though, so I can't forsee this being an issue.

Please read this before submitting!

Folder Descriptions:
:bulletgreen:Featured: This is intended for full-length and polished animations.
:bulletgreen:Interactive: For buttons, games, creators, etc.
:bulletgreen:Animation: For short animations, such as walkcycles, movie clips, etc.
:bulletgreen:Storyboards and Animatics: For planning stages of an animation, or, more specifically, films. Do not NEED to be animated. Static WIPs can go here, as can short, WIP snippets of animation and animatics themselves.
:bulletgreen:Films: For full-length animations following a story. (A lot of these I can anticipate will become featured.)
:bulletgreen:GIFs: For short animations that are in a .gif format (typically smaller, very short, such as icons. Please don't submit basic recolors, however).

More Submission Information
:bulletyellow:Favorites: Our favorites folder is for anything pony related. Anyone's able to suggest items to here: feel free to submit your own work if it doesn't fall into the categories in the gallery. The favorites are subjected to higher quality standards, however.
:bulletyellow:Note about the featured folder: You can't submit directly here, but you can nominate your's or others' works to go into this folder. Just send a note to the group, or include a note in your correspondence when submitting that you'd like your "best work" to go into featured.
:bulletyellow:There are some quality standards enforce. They can be lax, but please bear in mind it's not the end of the world if your work is declined.
:bulletyellow:Please submit things that are animation specific Recolored gifs or static images with a trivial animated element (ie some kind of effect in the corner of the image) don't quite belong here. For something to count as a pony animation, it must be a pony (or ponies) that is animated!

Rules:
:bulletred:Do not submit anything you didn't create. Collaborations are permitted, however.
:bulletred:Do not submit screencaptures. These aren't things you animated.
:bulletred:Do not submit anything that violates the ToS.
:bulletred:Pornography isn't allowed. No rule-34-ing the ponies.
:bulletred:No explicit gore either. Sorry Cupcakes fans.
Wow, sure has been a lot of these coming in over the past few days... Anyway, this should be the last one for a while. Sorry if they're getting spammy.

Here's the copypasta:

"Hello, everypony. I am XD-385 and I, along with some of my friends, are trying to create an animated flash series rendition of a story I am writing titled "My Little Pony: The Lost Element". It follows the interactions of a confused human man brought to Equestria who meets and steadily bonds with the Mane Six and subsequently gets caught up in their antics and adventures while delving into the history of the land whose name translates as 'Land of the Horsemen'.

We are in need of voice actors and animators, but mostly animators as we are severely lacking in them at the moment. The voice roles are pretty diverse, ranging from women to children to men.

Here is a full list of the voice roles we have so far. More may be added at a later date while some may be dropped. Any voice is up for grabs, including those that have been claimed. Multiple entries make for a broader opinion from the judges on which person is best suited for the role. [link]

If there are any questions or someone who wants to help out in any way, please contact me whenever convenient. :iconxd-385:"

Well, an animated show or movie is something large to pull off. I can post a blog for you, saying you're looking for help, but you'll need to make sure to have a structure setup first. Something along the lines of an animatic, coupled with a formal animation announcement is typically the best route.

We have a trailer but no animation. We just in such a dire need of animators. We have some animators but very few.

Well, draft up what you want the announcement to say and I'll post it to this group's blog if it's got enough of a layout/roadmap planned. Just send it to me or to the group in the form of a note, and link to the trailer.

Start button, lessee... For a preloader, I'd do a google search, but if it's short that won't be necessary.

To just make a play, you'll need to make a symbol that's a button first. For its instance on the first frame, make sure it's named "Playbtn" or something easily identifiable. The ActionSCript3 code you'd use is as follows:

stop()
Playbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onPlayClick, false, 0, true);

function onPlayClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
play();
}

In short, it stops the animation at the first frame, and then plays it once the button is pressed. Simple as that!

As for uploading it, just upload your .swf export through the submission portal.

Whats a good program to animate on? I want to start animating soon :D

It depends partly on what kind of animation you want to do. The most flexible program is Flash, which is what I use (Adobe Flash CS5 specifically). It allows you to add in sound, tweens, and animation effects. [link] There is a learning curve, but there's some awesome tutorials online.

Another option which is much scaled back is gif animations, which can be done in programs like Photoshop or even gimp. [link] Photoshop can handle limited tweening (which is a transition over time of an animation element from one state to another, usually just a change in position), but overall gif animation is a lot of pixel-by-pixel work.
