My Little Pony: GEDDAN is Magic FAQ

40 Frequently Asked Questions on MLP:Geddan is Magic (in no particular order):

1. Isn't GEDDAN an OLD, DEAD MEME?
Yes. This the last Geddan video I'll ever make because there's some copyright issue with the song.

2. What is the NAME OF THE SONG?!
The song is: Promise by Kohmi Hirose (who released it under Victor Entertainment record label)

3. Why is it so HIGH-PITCHED?
Victor Entertainment Inc., is the name for a company owned by JVC, who are Kohmi Hirose's record label. When I uploaded a version with the CORRECT pitch, they muted it for copyright reasons.

4. Can you recommend a way for it to SOUND BETTER?
Try turning the YouTube player volume to near-quiet, and then turn your computer volume up louder to make it 20% cooler.

5. It's so PIXELATED! Can you fix this?
Try watching it in 720p HD!

6. How do I TURN OFF the SUBTITLES?
Press the CC button. (CC stands for "Closed Captions")

7. How did you MAKE THIS? What PROGRAMS did you USE?
I saved high quality images from "GeneralZoi's Pony Creator (Full Version)",
and then,
I placed these images into a Flash Animation program called "Toon Boom Studio v4.5",
and then,
I sped up the Geddan song in "Audacity",
and then,
I put different images on each frame in Toon Boom Studio to match it up with the music,
and then,
I made subtitles using "DivXLand Media Subtitler"
and so on.

8. How'd you upload a Flash animation to YouTube at such HIGH-QUALITY?
Toon Boom Studio has the option to export to Quicktime .mov format

9. Can you give me some "SPECS" about the animation?
Sure. It's going at 12 frames per second and the resolution is 1280x720.

10. I can haz COPYRIGHT INFORMATION?
*Sigh.* What sort of weird question is that? Anyway...
My Little Pony © by Hasbro, TheHUB and Lauren Faust.
Anything else is ©  their creators, owners, and any other copyright holders.

11. Who made this thing again? I FORGOT LOL.
This was animated by ME, Darien "NeonWabbit" Dickinson.

12. Why does [bodypart here] LOOK WRONG?
That's what the PonyCreator's ponycodes gave me, so I had to keep them like that.

13. Why are they all BLANK-FLANKS?
I remembered that I forgot to import the cutie marks into PonyCreator after I saved all the images. I could have put them on frame-by-frame in Flash, but I didn't think about that at the time. Also, I didn't bother looking for the cutie mark images.

14. Where are their CUTIE-MARKS?
See the previous question's answer.

15. WHAT DID I JUST WATCH?!
You are looking at multiple images made with GeneralZoi's Pony Creator, placed into Flash and animated so that it looks like they are spastically spinning in mid-air, then marching and finally pelvic thrusting in front of an image that I edited of Sugarcube Corner to make it look like it is night-time, accompanied by subtitles which I made and a pause annotation which causes the whole thing to loop. You are seeing this all on YouTube, so I understand your need for questioning... It's also in 720p HD!

16. It's "GET DOWN" or "ゲッダン" NOT "Geddan"!! So... you will change it, right?
"Geddan" which is Engrish for "Get Down" was used in the title of one of the first ever "Get Down" videos. Geddan is therefore more widely known, but there is "get down" in the tags anyway so everybody can find this video easily. Geddan is also one word, because it would look weird to replace "friendship" with two words.

17. Don't you people think this is SCARY?
BOO!

18. Why am I in that WEIRD PART of YouTube again?
First of all, I would like to thank you for accidentally stumbling into the weird part of YouTube. Second, I must be frank with you: this part of YouTube is very weird. In fact, websites that parody Wikipedia produce articles on about the dangers of the weird part of YouTube. You have now been warned.

19. OMG! IT LOOPS WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING?!!!1!!1!!!!1111!ELEVEN!!!ONE!!!SHIFT+1!!2?!
Umm... okay. It's all thanks to placing a pause annotation at the end of the video and extending it for 30 seconds... *gasp*! I'VE SAID TOO MUCH!
To disable the loop, turn off annotations by clicking the speech bubble button.

20. Why does [pony here] have their mouth like that?
There's a reason for everything.

21. Who is BEST PONY?
Fluttershy.

22. Who are next BEST PONIES (in order of best to slightly-not best)?
Pinkie Pie, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack

23. ಠ_ಠ ...WUT?
The truth.

25. Can you place a question here to make real questions not get hidden by the above answer?
Done.

26. Where is Applejack, Rarity, Luna, Celestia, Derpy, Spitfire or [OTHER PONY'S NAME HERE]?
On the MOOOOOOOOOOOON!

27. Was this made for SEXUAL reasons or something?
i dunno lol ¯\(°_o)/¯

28. Can I make sex JOKES ABOUT THIS VIDEO?
Yes. Yes, you may.

29. WHO DIVIDED PONY BY ZERO?
"NO! I MUST DIVIDE ALL THE PONIES BY 0!" said NeonWabbit.
"But, NeonWabbit... you ARE the ponies!"
and then NeonWabbit made this video. The end.
And somehow, a parallel universe was created. lol

30. Can you make this 20% COOLER? Can you make ANOTHER?
I might redo this, and if I did it'll have to be SO AWESOME /)^3^(\

31. How did Auto-Transcribe get this right?
It didn't. I made the subtitles myself.

32. Yiff?
HURR DE DURR... yep.

33. Moar spinning, pl0x. OK?
Yeah, I should have made it 24fps.

34. How did you upload a video containing the RULE of the internet which shares this question's number?
Umm... what? lol. I don't see anything that serious here. I wish there was.

35. Can someone make this in GARRY'S MOD?
I tried, but it looked terrible. Maybe in the future, I'll try again...

36. Can you put the Flash FILE up for download?
Nope. The .swf clocks in at 50 megabytes (even with compression and jpeg quality set to ONE) and I don't want to save it as a .fla again. I still have the Toon Boom project file, though.

37. What is this WEABOO fagottry?
Geddan really shouldn't be associated with Japanophiles. It originated from a Japanese song and the game GoldenEye. That's all.

38. Ponies are for the GAYS and LESBIANS!
That wasn't really a question, but if people enjoying something causes you to frown upon them, then you really need to rethink your life situation and look more positively at things.

39. Give up. On life. Shoot yourself in the f***ing head. End it.
I'm sorry... was this question aimed at me? I'm shocked that you would spend your time telling random strangers what to do with their own life. :S

40. Is that it? IS THIS FAQ FINALLY OVER?
The FAQ is over... but the story never ends. It loops.
