Welcome to this video you just clicked on!
I’m highlighting the massive amount of events I’m involved in this weekend at Ponycon,
first being that if you can’t make it to the convention you can still see it.
Stop by the HAHcon livestream channel at these times on Friday or Saturday.
We’re going to try to do a walking tour of the convention and the vendor hall, a little
talk show, and maybe some interviews.
If you’re coming to the convention, you can get an in person animation lesson from
me.
Ponycon sets up a computer lab so you won’t just listen to me talk - you will get to animate
a character along with me.
This class is for beginners.
I’m teaching it twice, once on Friday and once on Sunday.
Next is Horse Drawn Carnage, a ridiculous, fun drawing game.
When I hosted this last year it was insanely popular because people wandering the convention
noticed how much fun we were having and got sucked into the game too.
You don’t need any art skills to play, just show up and be ready to make ugly drawings
with everyone else.
Saturday morning is the Nostalgia panel, which I turned into a group get-together where we’re
all going to talk about the good old days of the fandom, whether they were last year
or five years ago.
Again, this is not a sit and listen panel.
It’s a good place to meet new people at the convention.
Later that day I am on stage interviewing Denny Lu, who has been working on MLP from
the beginning of G4, first as an animator and now as a director.
If you have something you want to ask, let me know!
If you manage to collect snarky tweets from show staff to read to Mr. Lu, I will read
them aloud.
Or sing them.
I like fun.
Fun is good.
Back to back after that: Anthology 6 preview and Animator Meltdown, both which have brand
new videos never seen before and enough horse fame to kill a cow.
In short, two hours of laughing and cringing.
Perfect.
Sunday morning I’m in the vendor hall doing a live draw on stage.
I’ll take audience suggestions and draw OCs, unless you’re going to be quiet, in
which case I plan to draw Mirage over and over and over.
The very last thing I’m on the clock to do is the comic panel, talking about the making
of the comic book, the Mirage animation, and reading deleted scenes from the original comic
script.
Then I plan to sleep for a week.
See you there!
