Fly Like You [SFM]

2:50 The dead ponies of Equestria from a thousand years ago, just casually popping in as ghosts.

I think it was holograms from the projectors

[@HereticDuo]

I could be Homage, she's the current DJ Pon3 in FO Equestria, she could have been using the projectors to give the image of the original Pon3 to keep up the illusion. Its weird though as in FO Equestria the Pon3 character over the centuries has shifted into being a Stallion radio host and the mantle is passed down to unicorns in secret and they are taught to use a voice changing spell to take on the voice of the current Pon3 so everyone keeps thinking its the same pony. But hey, maybe they are all aware that the original Pon3 was a mare and she was just using her normal mare voice and the holograms to pretend to be the first one while at the same time she's also posing as the stallion Pon3 everyone knows from the radio. Octavia could have just been there at the end to keep the illusion authentic, Homage would have known about her because of the tenpenny tower archive that the Twilight society had, i'm pretty sure she even played a piece by Octavia on the radio in 1 chapter so she must have been as famous if not more so then Pon3 so would have a hologram of her on record. I could be thinking too much into it but it's one of those fan novels that's so in depth and long that it just begs for deep diving head canon to explain things.

I meant to do this earlier, but I've had a busy week! I LOVE this! I had so much fun recording this song with the band and even more fun watching it come to life. So funny to hear my voice from a pony! I've never thought of myself as Velvet, but while showing this to some friends, I estatically said "That's me!" when Velvet was revealed. Thanks for a magical moment!

Thank you so much! That means a lot coming from you. Your performance was amazing, and we did our best to capture the feeling you put into these songs.

[@recurve27]

Fantastic work. I've loved both song versions since they came out, so I was happily surprised you mixed them both together in such a clever way. All the little details from Fallout Equestria you put in were great. And the janitor ending was simply too adorable.

[@kobedaniels3441]

How did they die?

[@Monsicorn]

@@kobedaniels3441 Um a Stable Experiment that involved a computer that killed ponies bc tbe water talisman was broken. The computer's directive was to save ponies at any cost. Unfortunately, it decided that killing ponies would save the most ponies bc of an oversight in programming.

@Olaf Allison Hello Allison. Wing Boner... Well, ya know how guys get boners when looking a pretty girls? Well, in the fandom here, it seems the Pegasas ponies have their wings extend UN-intentionally when aroused. So, 'wing boner'. In this case, it means that Calamity was aroused by Velvet's performance.

[@dunjamidnight2133]

i think its actualy tehno-proection of Vinal from Future or Past

[@dunjamidnight2133]

+Mag Max (MagMax) No i didn't but i can gues sometimes things without knowing so much abote its info.For exsample some of characters there in video had futuric stuly from Fallout 4, but there is one thing i realy don't understand, in video i saw Vinal was sitting with some else characther in backround but still later in video we get like tehno hologram of Vinal which is probably from Past but close Past because tehnology was slowly bilding up like and here in human world. So i gues this Equestria dimension is similar to Human World because tehonlogy was building up through similar way like here in Human World.I like the most that voice and song.Because it kinda shows how Unicorns will forever will be stuck to ground no matter how much ther magic and talents are magicly awesome.That kinda makes me think like this:Earth Ponis are mortals who have magic of strenght, they have simple but magicly lovely short life full of true deep meaning, Pegasai are angels who have magic of flying which allows them to fly and control weather, ofcorse they live short but they still inspire us and they are our belief and loyalty, Unicorns are demons, they are outgoing and ther magic comes from ther heart, ofcorse i m not saying that they are evil like demons but ther magic depends on ther mind strenght control and control of ther feelings, heart.And for last role Alicorns are Gods, but in the end they have imprefections too no matter how they try to look godly they are still like mortals, always full of perfections and imprefections which makes full balance inside of us all.

[@franksmedley8619]

This video is so good, it's just busted down the doors and marched it's way right into my 'MLP Fan Video Favorites' folder and assumed a prominent place in the list. The original song was very good, and the addition of Nowaking to the mix just made it better! Then the Bench Thieves got in on the party and well... as they say... the rest is history. The framing of the scenes, cuts back in time, animation, lip syncing, and more were done with care and attention to detail. I especially liked seeing Homage and Little Pip bumping flanks. :) If I just 'had' to find anything about this to quibble with, it might be that Steel Hooves' armor is too small. His 'puppet' should have been, oh, about 7-10% larger than depicted. Perhaps even as large as 13% or so. He's a pony inside a LARGE set of armor after all. You Thieves keep right on doing what you're doing. The results are well worth any wait time. Oh, and btw: 'Beer and Pizza pony at the end was my favorite 'non-story character' in the video. What is better than fresh hot Pizza? Second day, cold Pizza and a Beer! :) enough from me, the Frank Pony

[@Jaguarmaserati]

That was really awesome. Really well animated with some seriously awesome lip synching. I also loved the ending, absolutely hilarious.

[@franksmedley8619]

Although Homage and Little Pip attended the 'concert' at the bar, I doubt she would have 'interfered' with it. NO, I feel the holograms were 'memories' of Vinyl and Octavia that were activated when the beer spilled over the equipment and 'shorted' a few things. I have seen discussions as to wither or not Homage was 'singing along' with Velvet using her magic, but that does not seem to 'hold water' in the face of 'Fallout's' Holo Emitter tech. Since every pony in the Equestrian Universe seems to be able to 'know' the lyrics to any song sung around them, it is NOT surprising that the Holo Vinyl would know them as well. So, I feel that the Hologram system activated due to a short in it's circuits, and Vinyl returned as a hologram of herself, since the Hologram System had Vinyl's last performance stored in it's memory. Since Octavia also performed both with and before/after Vinyl's sessions, it is not surprising to find her hologram included as well. And we all know that Octavia would have been a bit jealous of Vinyl giving Velvet the eye during her performance, so her 'stink eye' is pretty much a 'given'. Nowaking's performance was excellent. And in case anyone wondered about the wording... '... I beat your time by eight (seconds), so how's that techni-colored hat taste?' This refers to one 'eating one's hat' for being beaten at something one thinks they are extremely good at. This goes way back to a phrase in English of: 'If you can do X-Y-Z, I'll eat my hat.' When all is said and done... BTF's video is outstanding, and well scripted and presented. The models are crispt and flow well in a 'living' manner. Oh, and 'beer and pizza' mare at the end is just plain fun to watch. spoken Frank-ly Post Script: Oh, yeah... Pon-3 is 'Leet Speak' for Pon-E, 'Pony'. DJ Pony. I find it amazing that so many 'missed' this and keep saying Pon-three. When they should be saying 'Pon-Eee', aka: 'Pony'.

Hello Bench Thieves! I have watched all your videos posted and enjoyed most of them a lot. I especially like 'fly like you', 'Wanted', 'Battle on Amareigo', and 'The Crimson Flutter'. Keep on making videos. You've got an 'eye' for detail and your sense of pacing is pretty good as well. I look forwards to what your fertile minds come up with next. Oh, and I hope your project to have a version of FOE done with multiple voice actors comes out well. It was the first Fallout Equestria story I'd ever come across, and still my favorite. With FOE: Project Horizons coming in a very close second place. Both stories are now on my Kindle, which I take absolutely everywhere with me (I kinda like to read, a lot). Keep up the good work. the Frank Pony

[@canyonlight9615]
