A little background:
I am by no means a professional animator (and some who watch this may agree); the most training I've had in working with Flash was a brief few weeks back in high school, when Flash MX 2004 was the latest piece of software. 2004 is also the version of the program I have access to, and used for this piece, making it impossible to use the puppets that have been floating around the internet lately. When I got this in my head though, I couldn't get it out, and I took the project on as something to do with my free time. I've grown to love the brony community, and was inspired by how creative its members are. This is sort of me giving back. I learned a lot in the nine months making this, and I hope you all enjoy it!

As you may have surmised from the title, this isn't quite the complete vision I have for it; I fully intend to animate a story for the duration of the entire six minute song, complete with a whole new set of challenges that will take the things I've learned working on this even further. Firth, though, I wanted to show the world what I've been working on and see what kind of feedback I get before I invest that sort of time into it.

Backgrounds and some props were largely inspired/modeled after those found in Epic Wub Time:
