My first real shot at frame by frame animation :) Tell me what you think
Feel free to use this as an animation MEME if you'd like! Just be sure to credit and send me a link on my Twitter

I really like how RD's facial expression changes with each different pony that's in front of her. Short animation but nicely done.

Gosh the way you animated her saying "I don't fear you" is stellar. Can see the confidence and happiness. And the proud look on Spitfire is awesome. Great work Neko :3

*slaps monitor* this video has so many frames and lack of fear!

tHE "I DON'T FEAR YOU" IS ANIMATED SO WELL, I-

[haileyturner]

this is so cute
i am obsessed with the way u animated the “i don’t fear you” part. i keep replaying it over and over again

[genesis_ink]

i know its like literally the least original opinion to have ever, but i really really do love Rainbow man.. she's just... god shes so great..

[justoneoftheguys]

This is very well executed and extremely visually appealing! Extremely impressive for your first attempt. I’m most excited by how well you did Dash’s acting in the lipsync part, lots of animators have trouble with acting that reads well and isn’t over/underdone but you’ve nailed it

[hatstorm]

I can’t: Bully from her childhood
Hear you: Friend from her childhood, turned enemy, turned back to friend
I don’t: Rival who never got better as a person
Fear you: Authority figure who she earned the respect of

Even 2 words are enough to explain how her relationship with Gilda and Spitfire evolved, and how little her relationship with Dumbbell and Lightning Dust mattered.

Its been six years. I commissioned art from you 6 years ago and sorta. Stopped looking through my DA uploads.

And it really didn't take long for me to pick up on the name.

You did an amazing job with this! Very well done!

Her snoot scrunch on the "I don't fear you" is the cutest

[ChordCatcher]

Remarkable! Simply and utterly amazing! I hope to see more in the future, you've got a real knack for animation :D

[zachmoviefan]

The nose scrunch from Rainbow adds something more to it.

I love SpitFires smile at her like she knows Rainbow is a badass

[betsybee]

I love Spitfire’s expression. I can’t get enough of it ❤️❤️❤️

[lilypad.]

WAIT THE LIPSYNC IS SO GOOD BRUH UNDERRATED

[MilettyAnimations]

I love the POWER in her expression when she says ‘fear’!

[ShiftTGC]

This? I love this. This is just great. I love the emotions in it. The transition to smiling in the "scream" in "I don't fear you!" I dunno why, but I loved that part specifically a lot. And it's a great art style you have with this. Looking forwards to seeing more of your stuff ^^
