Pinkie Pie in "Present Prank"

Howdy Everypony! ^^

Here's my very first official animation to come out of my training here at the Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD). Being a fan of the new "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" series, I decided to create a puppet of Pinkie Pie (my favorite pony) in Flash and animate her in a little short.

This was originally created as a three-part assignment for my "2D Character I" class here at SCAD. The .FLA file for the puppet rig will be uploaded soon for those of you who would like to use the rig for your own pony animations. I'll also be uploading a tutorial on how to properly use it as well.

You can download my Pinkie Pie puppet rig in Flash CS5 .FLA here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7G8JSOXB

Reupload the puppet rig please, MU is dead, for now

[Flamingo1986Studio]

@kirbypower521 I know - I'm spending the next few weeks updating the puppet with about 200 new parts - as well as a Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash puppet. I'll reupload when they're done. :)

Hey, do you still have the Pinkie Pie rig that you can upload somewhere. I was planning on downloading it and messing around with it myself, however megaupload was shut down by the US government.

Awesome animation by the way!

[Flamingo1986Studio]

@mozarman Thanks! It sucks that Megaupload was taken down - I'll have to find a new site to upload it to. However - I needed to update it anyways, so I might just wait a few weeks while I fix it and then just upload the newer puppet.

Yes! I have finally found a brony from SCAD. I just got accepted into the college and am looking forward to going, but I can't find any bronies!

[Flamingo1986Studio]

@PromissaFidel Gratz on getting in! Try visiting the "SCAD Bronies" facebook page to find more of us! :D

Best animation I've seen in a while! Can't wait for you next project.

[Flamingo1986Studio]

@Themeheecanbrony Thanks! And if you'd like to follow along with my animation process - I've already posted the first set of storyboards for the next animation, "Double Rainboom", in my gallery at deviantart.

@Flamingo1986Studio I am LITERALLY shaking with anticipation... Though that may be my medicine... I fully support this! And a question... with the parts, will it be possible to easily recolor/combine them in order to create an OC? I have a ponysona made out of Luna/Fluttershy/other parts, and I would like to animate her for my channel, with credit to you. Thanks for listening to this annoying fan-girl's rant!
