HAH. I'm listining to Rainbow Factory right now and see that the PMV is on here...welp, time to check out the PMV! Haven't seen it. Oh and to those that said that Rainbow Factory was very grimdark and tragic: I strongly disagree, it wasn't that grimdark or tragic for me...I can read it and be bored with it. XD
Also liked the 2nd. I've been waiting for someone to do a PMV of Rainbow Factory. This one was good, but I'm still waiting for someone to make a really awesome one.
The third video was one of the most fantastic things I've ever seen.
#1 was really uncanny in how well the scenes fit the lyrics. Some of it seemed quite specific, yet somehow there was a clip for each part that matched perfectly. #2 felt like it was referencing something I don't know about, but was perfectly good at face value. #3...I have no words.
*Facehoof* All I could think of in the Rainbow Factory PMV when Scootaloo came onto the screen was: SCOOTARAINBOW! *Another facehoof* Damn it...The PMV was,ehhh...ok. I think it could have been better (The dark colors arn't needed). Haven't listened to the others yet, and don't plan to. Yet.
Was about to be crushed from seeing number 2. Been working on an animation based off the song. About a minute in, and gonna be honest...better than that. I mean...it was meh.
Two thumbs up to the dramatic recitation of the "My Little Pony" opening. That guy has an impressive voice, and the over-the-top facial expressions seal the deal.
1. Ponyville is the perfect setting for Way Back Home. Solid. 2. Eh, never really thought that song needed a PMV frankly. 3. Hmmm...didn't know Smeagol liked MLP.
That dramatic reading pounded me in the heart like a bundle of bricks. Hearing the raw emotion in his voice as he shouted with strength in order to properly convey the magic of friendship brought forth tears to my eyes and a shiver down my spine.
The FanFic that Rainbow Factory is based on is disgusting, and impossible within canon. Dash IS the essence of loyalty ponyfied. The Elements of Harmony couldn't rely on a pony who could ever be so unloyal to her fellow kind, and could never have bonded with her spirit with that level of evil within it.
Whoever wrote that, needs to be made into Spectra.
I could see it as a horrific campfire story, or done as a horror movie, but purely fictional within the world of pony. I do so very much hate these types of stories. God, why did /co/mrades and /b/tards have to be the ones to start this fandom... Dang... I suppose I'd have not caught the pony bug either if not for them... but STILL!!!
Still call this fiction for failing the Elements of Harmony test. Fiction claims Dash betrays and murders fellow ponies, Dash is Element of Loyalty...
FAIL!
An Epic Fail Whale appears in the sky. Epic Fail Whale uses gravity. Epic Fail Whale falls rapidly. Epic Fail Whale uses Ponder
The Epic Fail Whale begins it's rapidly accelerating decent as it falls out of the sky, pondering it's brief existence for a few moments before it flattens the author of Rainbow Factory.
As much as I hated Rainbow Factory, I LOVED the Way Back Home one! I LOVE Fallout 3 and that song is rockin'... well for a song that predates rock, but still, it's swinin'! Sure, that works!
It's amazing how MLP seems to have a scene to fit every occasion. When season 2 comes around! We will surely take over the world! yay!
Dramatic reading... meh. I gave the video a like, but not a fav, for bein' all dramatical and stuff. still, not totally my thing.
All of these were epic, for the second time in two days I'm giving out my rare EPIC rating to this set of PMV's but with how epic these are it's just making my ratings worthless, *sigh* oh well.
It's not Rainbow Dash. It's a complete obliteration of anything that remotely resembles her. You may as well have killed off Rainbow Dash and had her skin worn by a truly evil pegasus. It simply doesn't work with her in that position.
It makes no sense. It's story telling without any consideration of source, and it really betrays Rainbow Dash's character.
Rainbow Dash goes out of her way to save those she cares for, even at risk to herself. I can't view her ever betraying her Spirit of Loyalty... for Soylent Rainbow juice.
It just doesn't work for her character.
A better version of this story would have simply placed an OC in the position you placed Rainbow Dash in. I see no way for this to work in the setting you created, without it feeling like grimdark for the sakes of grimdark, which has little entertainment value IMHO.
I'm also opinionated, seeing as Scoots is my fav CMC.
#1 Pinkemena armed with the Slasher Knife (Though the Mauler would be for something larger) , Wasteland Surgeon's Outfit and the perks: Bloody Mess, Cannibal, Contract Killer, comes to mind. Slayer perk is in FO1, FO2, FOT, FOBoS and FONV not FO3.
Hey AuroraDawn, maker of the PMV here. I agree that your fanfic is very implausible within the MLP world, but so is every crossover fanfic. I still enjoyed reading it and obviously I did so for ideas on how to tackle making a PMV for it.
It was a well written fanfic that did bring out emotions fear and suspense and sadness, also before people complain about it failing the elements of harmony test, so does AppleJack very often in the show.
Not being a very good liar, and half a lifetime of murder and betrayal of your own kind... Yeah, same difference. AJ is not a pathological Liar. This story makes Dash out to be a pathological killer, intent on betraying the loyalty of every pegasus put through the corrupted system. I have a feeling if the princesses ever learned the truth, Cloudsdale would cease to even exist, very rapidly, and quite a few ponies would find themselves imprisoned in the place they were banished to... Probably the far side of the moon. She's betraying the trust of the Princesses too, by being part in the transformation of a legitimate function of pegasus society into an abomination, all so the Spectra can be more pure and brilliant?
1: Put together well; I love the old-timey songs and how well they mesh with Equestria. 2: Watched vid, liked vid, read fic, watched vid again, liked vid even more. Clips were edited and spliced well with good use of effects. Music was VERY well matched to the fic in terms of atmosphere. Didn't particularly like fic though. 3: I smiled a lot. Would I be seen as a copycat if I tried to do one of these with another part of the show?
For those who don't know about Rainbow Factory, the song came first, and was for a compilation contest with a subject of how rainbows are made. The fic was written based on the song and what it implies. It's actually pretty well written, but don't read it if you couldn't handle Cupcakes or some such.
Love the Rainbow Factory song, strongly dislike the Rainbow Factory fanfic. Quite honestly, it makes me think of "Cupcakes", and that's not a compliment. Sorry.

Dat third video.
ReplyDeleteThat Dramatic Reading... 124.3% cooler.
ReplyDeleteI really like the first one. Third one is silly, but I like it.
ReplyDelete#3 ohhh the DRAMA!!
ReplyDeleteWhoever did the dramatic reading should do readings of this one fanfic, it was a Sherlock Holmes spinoff. I think the voice would fit.
ReplyDeleteOkay, that Dramatic Reading of the theme song is the best thing ever today.
ReplyDelete@Trollestia
ReplyDeleteMy plan is a success. Trollestia has been trolled.
@Feenecks Chompski
ReplyDeleteIndeed....Want a free trip the the moon?
all expenses paid.
Awwwwwww yeaaaaaah. Been waiting on #1. ;D
ReplyDeleteGreat...now whenever I hear the theme song, I'll be thinking of this guy...
ReplyDeleteNumber three . . . bravo! Encore!
ReplyDeleteI like the second one the best and the third sounds like listening to a scary or mystery novel.
ReplyDelete#3 made my week

ReplyDeleteI had a good chuckle at the first one.

All three quite enjoyable!

#3 The ponies need an adult.
ReplyDelete*Facehoof* All I could think of in the Rainbow Factory PMV when Scootaloo came onto the screen was: SCOOTARAINBOW! *Another facehoof* Damn it...The PMV was,ehhh...ok. I think it could have been better (The dark colors arn't needed). Haven't listened to the others yet, and don't plan to. Yet.
ReplyDelete#1 epic awesome.
ReplyDelete#3... dude that's creepy.
Whoa, that Rainbow Factory PMV was fantastic, I gotta give that fanfic a read now.
ReplyDeleteI'm slightly disappointed. That was less 'dramatic reading' and more 'reading in a dramatic voice'... Oh well, it was still hilarious.
ReplyDelete@Trollestia
ReplyDeleteNah I was kidding. You are the best monarch ever!
i can't watch any of the videos... but i love the anarchy stocking pony at the top of the post
ReplyDelete#2 I still can't forget the mental image of Dash covered in blood from that fanfic that was based on that song...
ReplyDeleteWhat a batch! First fallout 3 goodness, then a good PMV of the best song out there since a while ago, and last... bwhahaha, that was too funny XD
ReplyDelete# 3 sounds like drunk orson welles
ReplyDelete1. I really, really need to play this game.
ReplyDelete2. Cool song, but I'm warry of that fanfic...
3. Just funny.
Man, that's what MLP has been missing all along- Orson Welles!
ReplyDeleteLoving that last one! XD
ReplyDeleteWas about to be crushed from seeing number 2. Been working on an animation based off the song. About a minute in, and gonna be honest...better than that. I mean...it was meh.
ReplyDelete1 was...nice.
3 made me lol.
That song in the first one is cute, I like it. Video was pretty good for it too.
ReplyDeleteOoh, Rainbow Factory by Wooden Toaster, great song. Never read the fanfic, but love the song regardless. The video they made for it was decent.
The third one... I am so very very scared right now. Lmao. Was Fluttershy on the floor!? :(
# 2 and 3 are amazing. And don't hate on Horror fic's Stephen King writes horror and he's a living god.
ReplyDeleteTwo thumbs up to the dramatic recitation of the "My Little Pony" opening. That guy has an impressive voice, and the over-the-top facial expressions seal the deal.

ReplyDeleteJust a moment... *sniffle*
Totally, unrelated, offtopic.
ReplyDeleteDoes anypony else can't write, or let alone read the comments on any video?
Yes! My dramatic reading got featured! This will be a day long remembered.
ReplyDeleteDammit, Seth has my arrogant hip-hop listening ass bumping Bob Crosby again.
ReplyDelete*washes ears w/ Styles P yelling about murdering people*
Ahh, all better. :D

@richfiles
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you don't like it. :)
Seriously though, your biggest problem is that my bloody, violent grimdark fiction... isn't canon? XD
@Garrett
ReplyDeleteYou're awesome, you know that? I don't care if you never do anything Pony-related anymore.
Tell me, do you take commissions for voiceover work? I'm just asking; I have nothing in mind that I could pay you for.
All of these were epic, for the second time in two days I'm giving out my rare EPIC rating to this set of PMV's but with how epic these are it's just making my ratings worthless, *sigh* oh well.

Just finished the fanfic for Rainbow Factory. Not bad, not scary but not bad, i kinda want a better ending though.

ReplyDeleteIt makes NO Sense.
Would Dashie ever do that...
Hmm....... Nah!
#1 made me d'awww.
ReplyDeleteIf you skipped it, WATCH THE THIRD VIDEO.
ReplyDeleteFreaking hilarious.
1: Put together well; I love the old-timey songs and how well they mesh with Equestria.
ReplyDelete2: Watched vid, liked vid, read fic, watched vid again, liked vid even more. Clips were edited and spliced well with good use of effects. Music was VERY well matched to the fic in terms of atmosphere. Didn't particularly like fic though.

Spikely Whiplash - Thanks! Feels good to be featured on EQD. I was featured once before, for the 84 Page Pony Coloring Book I did.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, I'd probably be willing to do paid voiceover commissions if people needed it. Less ridiculous probably. Unless ridiculous is what's wanted.
#3 was terrifyingly hilarious.
ReplyDelete#2: I really like the song but im afraid of reading fanfic. Rainbow Mengele??? This must be really crazy stuff...
ReplyDeletePlease, never ever upload the fanfic (rainbow factory) to EQD... It's worse than cupcakes... trust me...
ReplyDeleteShould I read I read the fanfic?
ReplyDeleteMy curiosity is backstabbing me...
For those who don't know about Rainbow Factory, the song came first, and was for a compilation contest with a subject of how rainbows are made. The fic was written based on the song and what it implies. It's actually pretty well written, but don't read it if you couldn't handle Cupcakes or some such.
ReplyDeleteLove the Rainbow Factory song, strongly dislike the Rainbow Factory fanfic. Quite honestly, it makes me think of "Cupcakes", and that's not a compliment. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteThat third video is AWESOME! Usually when you see 'dramatic reading' it isn't all that dramatic but that was just awesome!
ReplyDeletethat third vid is creepy
ReplyDeleteThe third vid is awesome ! omigosh.
ReplyDeleteI love that part when he tries to grab Rarity but fails... So hilarious.
