I hope you all enjoy this, I worked on this for 12 days spanning about 2 to 3 weeks.

--Technical Info--

Made entirely in a 3D environment (Cinema 4D R12), zero post processing. One large with one camera track. 1920x1080p 30 Frames Per Second at a total of 6800 frames. Render machine: AMD Phenom 1090T 6-core + 16GB RAM.

Work began 5/2/2012 at roughly 1PM
Work completed 5/17/2012 at 11:20PM
Video 100% Rendered at 8:21AM

Font is Orator STD
Final filesize 6.03GB in Quicktime .mov
3D Scene file size 500MB
All physics calculations baked

This is the longest I have ever worked on a single 3D scene. Nearly 3 weeks of planning and creating to get this out. The storyboard was never actually finished. After I had gotten the "Wreck the Scene" part done in 3D, I baked the calculations and just went with it. On the storyboard there are blanks for the following 2 verses.

Final render time was exactly 6 hours, 16 minutes, and 21 seconds.

Render did not fail this time. I began rendering it at 2AM and went straight to sleep. I woke up at 5:20AM to make sure the render did not fail. Luckily, it was still chugging along gingerly. I did some head math and the video would finish at approximately 10AM so I put my face back in my pillow for the remaining hours. I woke up at 9AM anyway and the video was done, my groggy eyes instantly pepped up and I watched the beauty of my work.

I always try to upload the video in highest quality. That means suffering a 2 hour upload time for a 4 minute video. I could easily convert the video down to .mp4 with CUDA but I'd rather torture my lines for a few hours and bask in the HD glory forever.

~~~Creator blurb~~~

There were a FEW ideas on the storyboard that were scrapped. When Lulz says "20% Cooler", I wanted to bring back the Officially 20% Cooler emblem from the other video. However, the rhythm/feel of the song at the current time didn't feel appropriate.

One idea that was majorly scrapped was feature a full 3D model of a Cadillac Escalade, CTS-V or XLR. I would have done this but I wanted to keep the project within a one month time frame.

When Lulz mentions EquestriaDaily, I etched in a side for After Effects post-processing. I was going to add a plane for EQDaily and have it be replaced with the actual website. However, post-processing isn't exactly what I do. I would've spent extra time re-rendering the video in After Effects. You can find examples on my 200 subscriber video.

When Lulz says Honda toaster, I was going to bring in a 3D model of the Honda logo. I just never got around to modelling it.

When Mic says "The flow" for the first time, I wanted to have a bunch of wavy lines start flowing smoothly, but the sharp visuals of the Friendship cannon would have been too big of a shock. I decided to move this stage setup to another location in the lyrics, but that was scrapped as well.
