Directed By: Jayson Thiessen

Storyboarded by (Senior/Junior): Raven Molisee & Dave Weibe

Official (?) Synopsis:

"Fluttershy struggles to overcome her fear of public humiliation so she can help Rainbow Dash and the other pegasi create a tornado powerful enough to lift the water required for rainy season in the cloud-producing city of Cloudsdale.".

Some juicy scenes in this one. Hope you guys like it! Whoo!

Bluh.. Too bad there's no 'hung over' emoticon in the mood setting. Happy Post-St. Patrick's Day everypony..! Ugh..

Parts of it... indeed. Though I'd be lying thru my teeth if I said I didn't enjoy handling that kind of stuff.

I just watched this episode, it was brilliant!
Loved the 50's info film, the beefcake pony and Fluttershy's training montage!
And so much Derpy!

Ha! Thanks! I think (so far) it was my favorite one to work on. Social anxiety is something I'm very familiar with, so it was all about doing everything possible to enforce that visually (i.e. Wall of Eyeballs.. LoL)

Oh yes, the tunnel of eyes! That was a great visual metaphor. Fluttershy was very relatable in this episode, especially for those of us who have felt like that.
I also enjoyed the butterfly tug of war. So many great visuals in this episode.

I was wondering, if you don't mind me asking, when did you board this episode? I'm just curious how long it took to get from storyboarding to airing on tv.
Also, do you know who does the backgrounds? I've often been impressed with them, especially the architecture.

The Wall of Eyeballs was just awesomely disturbing. Fantastic visual metaphor. Fluttershy definitely had some great expressions at a few points, too. X)

Your wall of eyeballs has now scarred me for life o_o....thanks :).

The presentation of social anxiety definitely touched a nerve for me, especially when it comes to athletics. I really could easily relate to what Fluttershy was feeling.

I'm not sure how many of the tree gags were in specifically noted in the script but they turned out great and were easily the among my favorite gags.

Especially visually, I loved the stuffing out of this episode from each character touch to the body language to the heartfelt expressions. Loved it so much and lots of cheers.

Well, the first tree gag was in the script. The second one (if you mean the one with RD's eyes popping out of the tree) was me. What's with the tree/fluttershy thing? Is it a fandom thing? I keep seeing comments. XD I'm so curious!!!!

I'm glad you liked it so much. I'm really pleased that so many are happy with it. It really was the first one that I have felt wholly competent in and its kind of reinforcing my confidence. XD
