Subject: MLP 823 Animatic for Review

Hi Everyone,

Please find the Ep 823 "Sounds of Silence" Animatic ready for your review.

You'll notice, this episode is still quite long. We've managed to trim roughly 2 minutes already and we have some other suggestions for areas to cut/tighten, but they would require some larger adjustments and likely pick-ups so we thought it best to let you see where it currently stands before taking the plunge. Suggestions as follows:

  *   Lose the teaser as it currently stands, and move the first sequence of Act 1 in TS's castle to become the new teaser. This is a fairly straightforward edit, but we would have to go through and adjust any moments where AJ & FS talk about reading body language in reference to Angel Bunny.

  *   Remove the reprise and adjust the ending to be a little simpler and to the point. The reprise is currently 36 seconds long. This could be a little trickier since we are unlikely to be able to get any pick-ups from our guest star, so our recommendation would be to adjust the moment earlier where FS & AJ discover the Foal's Breath flowers with the squirrels, and repurpose their dialogue (or something with a similar intention) about how they both were the right choices for this mission at the end of the episode, as it gives a bit more of a wrap-up feel.

Alternatively, if you have any other cut ideas, we'd be happy to hear them. Thanks in advance!
