Welcome to the (hopefully more successful) second MAP (Multi-Animator Project) hosted by @Nikkimd8! Please read all of the Instructions and Notes and Credits! If you would like to animate part of this MAP, please send me a link to an example of your animation. After that, based on what I think you'd be best for, I'll ask you if you'd like to animate a part of the song (about 13 seconds) or a sprite for the Intro or Conclusion/ Credits portion of the MAP. If you are chosen to animate a part, ask me for which of the open parts you would like and I'll give it to you on a first-come-first-serve-basis. You're welcome to animate our favorite Horse Humans singing their part in an original way or you can draw them as their pony counterparts. You could also add in Starlight with Twilight and Sunset, Discord with Fluttershy, or focus on Lyra and Bon Bon or the Cutie Mark Crusaders in your part, too! I'm also opening this MAP up to other fandoms, too, despite it being a MLP song. If you have a really good idea for one of the parts but would like to animate Star and Marco from SVTFOE, the Crystal Gems from Steven Universe, Dan and Phil, or another group of best friends, run it by me, but there's a good chance I'll let you do it! If you are chosen to draw a sprite for the Intro or Conclusion, you can animate another non-pony group of best friends, as well. Once again, just ask me because I don't want anything dark or too obscure. Once you are selected to either animate a part or a sprite, you may remix this project, but do not remix it otherwise! The deadline is to be announced, but I'll notify everyone participating when a date is set. One more note about the characters in your animation: I do not want OCs in this MAP. Please animate existing groups of Best Friends that are easily recognizable to a wide audience. Lastly, this should be sugary, bright, wonderful, and fun! If the lyrics aren't obvious, this song is about a group of best friends! Use lots of color and represent the lyrics well! If you do not follow the directions listed above I'll first direct you back to this box. If you still don't follow through, you won't be given a chance to animate. I would like this to look as best as possible! The code word is "Everfree;" please put that someplace in your comment so I know you've read everything here! Come away with me and be the legend you were meant to be! More Notes and Tips: ~No bases! None! You must draw everything yourself. References are of course fine, but no tracing or bases, please! ~Please don't use backdrops! Even if you want a background, please put it on a sprite that's on the bottommost layer. ~Limit yourself to no more than 5 sprites. ~Make your animation sample resemble what you'd like to draw. If you want to draw ponies, show me an example of a pony or other animal animation. If you'd like to draw humans, show me an example of that! This is so I can get a better idea of how final products are going to look. :) ~I'm fine with occasional text and animated lyrics, but make sure to animate some characters, too! I don't want your part to be all text. ~If you are animating a sprite, then a dancing loop would be especially great! Other ideas are two friends hugging, a few friends bouncing up and down to the beat of the song, etc. ~~~ Other friends I would love, love, love to see a sprite or part for: Star and Marco- SVTFOE (Part or sprite); Finn and Jake- Adventure Time (sprite); Lapis and Peridot, The Crystal Gems, Steven and Connie- Steven Universe (Part or sprite); Mabel and Dipper (and maybe some others, too)- Gravity Falls (Part or sprite); Dan and Phil, Rhett and Link- Youtube (sprite); Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles- Powerpuff Girls (Part or sprite); Harry, Ron, and Hermione- Harry Potter (Sprite) ... I might add others as I think of them. :)
