Totally Legit Recap: Rainbow Rocks (Part 3)
Added 2019-03-01 04:07:46 +0000 UTCIt's finally done. I had no idea what to do for the climactic battle scene in this one. I went through 10+ versions of the script; everything from rap battles to long-ass speeches. The problem is I take this movie pretty seriously and the lesson means a lot to me, so I didn't want to do my typical raunchy bullshit, but when I tried doing it sincerely, it just ended up being a shittier version of the real thing.
Fortunately, I'd been creating the solution the entire time without even realizing it. Sonata's mounting ambivalence didn't really go anywhere in the original versions, so I just carried it to its logical conclusion. Boom. Problem solved.
Other than learning instruments, this might be the hardest I've ever worked on anything in my life. I went all the way with the lip-syncing just to see if I could, and it ended up turning what normally would've been two normal 9-5 work weeks of video editing into a 15-day marathon of staring at vegas morning-till-night. Between that and two weeks of writing and audio, there's somewhere around 300 hours of work in this video. Normal episodes are going to feel fucking easy after this.
As always, thank you guys for giving me money so I can try stuff like this instead of getting a real fucking job. Rock on, Sunnybuns.

2019-03-02 09:05:33 +0000 UTCReboots make things a little murky. I'm about as orthodox as you can get when it comes to waifus, but I could go either way on that.
DWK
2019-03-02 02:02:27 +0000 UTCBtw: Is there a waifu-restricting rule for a character that has multiple versions of herself due to a reboot? I'm asking because that's the obvious question that arises if you come to good old DWK right after watching Battle Angel Alita.

2019-03-02 01:31:17 +0000 UTCWow, I did not expect that ingenious conclusion for Sunset and the whole Waifu shebang. I loved every bit of this part, too.

2019-03-02 01:25:47 +0000 UTCYour work just keeps getting better and better. Keep kicking ass.

2019-03-01 16:43:20 +0000 UTCThat 300+ hours definitely shows, amazing job on this episode. I hope to see more like it, but if it causes burnout, maybe just on a particularly special episode.

2019-03-01 13:59:58 +0000 UTCI don't know if I'll ever get to 30k subs man.
DWK
2019-03-01 12:39:45 +0000 UTCMost excellent. I don't remember the last time I saw a trilogy where the third was the very best of them all. And as always, the message is as true as it is painful.

2019-03-01 10:55:37 +0000 UTCF for Sonata. She still best pony.

2019-03-01 10:46:39 +0000 UTCYou got it homie. I'm thinking of ideas for your 30k subs but the sheer autism and hard work you've shown here has inspired me to make something extra. Hopefully I'll have time this weekend to sketch something up.

2019-03-01 08:55:26 +0000 UTC>Rarity and Sunset >and >mfw Rob thinks you can claim more than one waifu You, sir, are the disgust.
DWK
2019-03-01 08:54:40 +0000 UTCAhh shit, I can't pretend to be mad. I'm so happy how this turned out, the characterization, the editing a lip syncing, it was all just so perfect and made me so happy.
LockeRobster
2019-03-01 07:57:56 +0000 UTCMfw this whole 3 part series and it's message is an excuse for DWK to claim Rarity and Sunset at his waifuS. Disgusting.

2019-03-01 07:49:55 +0000 UTCI keep thinking this everytime you put out a new video, but this is your best work yet.

2019-03-01 07:03:32 +0000 UTCDude the lip Syncing in this is incredible, it gave me nostalgia for JakeWhyman's old mlp game grumps videos from like 2013

2019-03-01 06:09:17 +0000 UTCI think the real question is when they'll make an equestria girls with chrysalis involved.

2019-03-01 06:06:28 +0000 UTCThis is a masterpiece. The whole time I was watching it, I was thinking that this must have taken forever and a half to make. I definitely won't expect quite this level of polish in other videos, but this was really incredible. I especially didn't expect it to get real at the end at all. Nice touch.
Waldo
2019-03-01 06:04:15 +0000 UTCHoly shit, what a finale! Are you sure you can keep that lip-synching thing going? That seemed like it must have been at least 1 or 2 decafuckloads of work (in the metric system...no idea what fuckloads translate to in "English standard"). At any rate, I'm glad you'll never have to be bothered by that shit again lol. ... so wen r u gonna finish rainbow rocks tho
2019-03-01 04:44:18 +0000 UTCJesus christ the lip syncing on this one is so impressive that it's almost jarring when you switch to show audio clips. Also, Aria's head detaching to glare more intensely at Sonata had me cracking up and I'm not even sure why that got the biggest laugh out of all of this, but great fucking job all around.

2019-03-01 04:28:45 +0000 UTCWe all need redemption, sometimes. I'm trying to find my own right now. I hope yours continues to go well. Stay strong, and as always, thank you for these. Can't wait to watch...I'm finally at home for a change.
2019-03-01 04:22:36 +0000 UTCYour effort was incredible, and really shows. You did your girl Sunset well.
