Ponycon is in two weeks and I look forward to handing out valentines to all of you while
I’m there. I think I only have 24 but they’re really cool.
If you’re going to Ponycon, I am hosting an actual, live, made with 100% real fruit
juice animation workshop. This is not a panel where I sit there and go blah blah animation
blah. This is you coming in and getting to use a computer with Flash installed on it
to make pony animations. I’ll teach you. All you need to know is how to use a computer.
Ponycon is setting up a computer lab for me to do this. Obviously there are a limited
number of seats, so I wanted you to know before everyone else that this is happening. That
way you can get there promptly if you want a spot.
That panel is called “Animating Ponies with Flash” and it is on Monday from 12:30 - 1:30
pm.
If you miss that don’t worry, I’m doing a bamillion other things. Okay five other
things but still.
On the first day, Saturday, Iron Solari and ShadyMacro and I are doing an UNCENSORED screening
of Ponies: The Anthology 5. Yeah you heard me, the full movie, with every inappropriate
joke and word there for you to enjoy. We also have a special surprise for you if you come.
That same day Flufflepuff and I are playing a bunch of pony animations and talking about
how they were made. A lot of you want me to review Lullaby for a Princess. Well, you’re
gonna get that.
Speaking of analyssislslyays, if that’s your jam, stop by ToonKritic’s Collab Chemistry
panel. ToonKritick, Eiliyora, Voice of Reason, Finn The Pony and myself will be there. It’s
going to be all about collaborations! Using teamwork to make videos! If you’ve thought
of making a video with other people or with your friends, or you just wanna know how the
bleep big videos get made, this is your day.
That’s my Saturday backwards. On to Sunday!
Sunday I’m hosting a game I’ve titled Horse Drawn Carnage, because it involves drawing
lots of horses horribly. You don’t need to be good at drawing to play. Actually it’s
even better if you’re not. Come solo, bring friends, bring your kids. We’ll draw things,
try to guess what other people drew, and the results will be hilarious. It’s like Drawful,
if you’ve played that. Well one of the rounds is. I change it up every few rounds to keep
you on your toes. ;0
After the silliness I’ll have a more relaxed, normal drawing workshop. If you’d like to
draw a bit and meet other artists step on up. All of us are going to draw ponies and
swap drawing tips on sticky notes. Get some honest and helpful feedback.
Yeah. I’m pretty sure this is going to be the best convention.
