Kalpira Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Well, I'm in an animation course, and I think I can understand some of those errors...For the painting, it's exactly what everypony's been saying: when there's a tight schedule over one's shoulder, an animator just rushes rushes rushes and uses the same colour several times. As some of you might know from Photoshop, painting a drawing includes many layers. In these cases, the background ponies or for example the cakes over the table were in some layers that needed to be filled.To start off, the storyboard is a guideline for any animator. The changes of plans, camera visions, or mood swings of the characters are all scratched up quickly to have an idea of how the episode will be. Then, they enlarge those spaces and fill it with animation until the next sudden animation "frame" (let's call it frame, because in a storyboard there are very few of them), and unlike main characters, the background characters have no 360º mirrors before they jump into colouring and animation, They are just drawn up and set into stage.Since to make close-ups and similar animators still use transparent paper, it is possible that several parts had gone missing from sheet to sheet.

Dessa Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Wingless! She shouldn't be able to stand on the clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittlePonyTales Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Wingless! She shouldn't be able to stand on the clouds.Theory is that she is the daughter of an Earth pony and a Pegasus pony, so she has no wings but can walk on clouds.

Skye Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Cloud Dancer?Wrong colors, though!Cloud Dancer?This Cloud Dancer was an actual McDonald's Toy (admittedly, from Australia, however), but supposedly G3 near as I can tell. Funny how pony names go around! I was going to make a Pegasus named Sky Dancer at one point, and she was going to be pink and white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazePrower9205 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Found this one on Ponibooru from the new episode.I noticed this. I was like, 'How the heck is an Earth pony capable of standing on the clouds? o.O' Now I know it's an error. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittlePonyTales Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Found one just now in The Cutie Mark Chronicles.Pinkie's Mark clearly shows up, especially when you are watching on full screen HD. Then, it's gone for the rest of the story until she actually gains it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teh_Brawler Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 While I would be loathe to call that an actual "error", that's a really good catch there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittlePonyTales Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 While I would be loathe to call that an actual "error", that's a really good catch there I mean, ya, they did it on purpose, but it's like the same as spotting double background ponies.

Hippo Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 how the hell would Spike know? Maybe he asked Twilight and she mistakenly told him the wrong colors. It's more of a character error...I could try to describe to you my birth, but honestly I couldn't tell you cuz I "wasn't there". (I was) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hippo Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 actually there is 2 different characters appearing a total of three times. Apple Bloom's little yeller legs can be seen towards the bottom. This was taken during Pinkie's cupcake soong in "Call of the Cutie" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitehawke Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Since I now have a lot of time to spare, I can basically compile errors into neat little videos. This is totally not a shameless plug.My Little Bloopers: Mistakes are Forever! Vol.1http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJDqrmoSXe4My Little Bloopers: Mistakes are Forever! Vol.2http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrILQFdrDGYLook Applejack! No wings!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEboR6ZWmFUA look at how ponies think.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk-nDmjzH5cMost of the errors I point out in these videos have already been addressed in this topic though.

Hippo Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 I dont think this is really considered an error, but I'm confused as to why it even occurs. This is a screenshot from my computer. On the left is a mkv file of Dog and Pony Show, the 720 version you get when you download off itunes. The itunes files are great because they are great resolution have contain no annoying tv bannes and graphics like the TV rating system and the Hub icon.On the right, is the version you can find online in 1080. I looked at MASTERLINX version and it looks the same as this one.For whatever reason, the itunes version leaves out Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy in this shot, as well as the following shot when Spike is yellow "NO!" up the hole.Can anyone tell me why this would even occur?
