MLP Thinking with Portals: Delivery Serviceby *Yudhaikeledai

Flash / Animations

Looks like Aperture Science has started the field testing of their commercial ASHPD and Derpy decided that she would like to use it! Well... Not in ways that people often expect though, but Cave Johnson says that the way she uses the ASHPD intrigues him, he is willing to pay Derpy 60 Bits for testing it.

Twi's broken bones was a continuation from the last one

I don't know how to say this, but I don't actually hate Twilight, instead she's actually my second favourite (tied with AJ). But I have this rule: the more I like a cartoon character, the bigger the chances of you becoming the butt monkey of my experiments

Don't worry Twi, you'll get your revenge later

By the Way, I personally think that Derpy is actually a genius behind all the goofiness

Einstein much?

To be honest, the idea looks much better on the planning stages; I don't know what went wrong but I'm certainly not very happy with the results... Oh well...

Speaking of which, Feedback and/or critique is most welcome. And please don't hold back, if you think I deserve some scolding and constructive criticism, go hard on me.

Next "thinking with portals" would be playing with Terminal Velocity! By the way, if you guys have any ideas, I'm welcome to hearing it

I had to watch this a few times to think of the right words this review.

I really like the part where Derpy Hooves first takes the mail out and she has a cute smile. :

: When she shoots the portal gun into the mailbox, it kinda makes you think how does that portal get small enough to fit into the mail slot or to even shrink the size of the portal to be small then the space inside it.

There is quite a delay in after she flies away but then again it is early in the morning for the current time in the short animation. For all we know she could have been asleep and the rooster was her cue.

The fact she had a damaged leg and was able to move easily with those crutches is a little off as it would be a little hard for someone (or somepony) like that to move and it makes sense how she didnt see the whole in the ground as she was focused on simply moving and getting her mail and her attention was then focused on the mail she retrieved. Possibly could have used a better distraction considering it would be hard to miss a giant hole in the ground.

But regardless of those minor flaws, great animation overall and to the point where no one would really think about these small things cause you are too busy laughing at what is currently happening. Well done

What do you think?

It was very well done! I found the animation to be charming and simplistic, yet avoiding the "done in 2 seconds" kind of feel. It was a well executed animation and was very original!

Derpy's portrayal was amazing as the "idiotic genius". I felt the flow was skewed when Derpy was trying to put the mail in the box. The animation had a few glitches here and there, but they were barely noticeable.

Pros:
- Fantastic animation.
- Sound quality worked and sounded great.
- Very original.
- Sweet and short.
- Little to no animation errors.
- Creative use of Portal gun.
- Great character portrayal on Derpy's part.

Cons:
- Could be longer in some areas, shorter in others. Such as Derpy trying to put the mail in, I felt that was a little too short. Yet when she was using the portal gun, I feel like that could be made longer to some extent.
- Flow is wrecked at a couple points.

Overall I was very impressed by this, and your other animations. I look forward to seeing more. (:
