Part vector part special effects. I probably could have done this easier in After Effects, but I wanted to do it in flash. Heres the link to a much cleaner loop of the effect. puu.sh/4PsnX.swf I'll put out the Flash CC file if anyone wants to use this modified Double Rainboom puppet or to see how I did it (spoiler alert: a million masks). https://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.mediafire.com/?3l1azsaeoe9kh7e It will probably take a bit of more work if you want to use this as a puppet. Some more notes: Yes, I lined up all those masks roughly by hand, I personally hate how adobe flash handles copying and pasting. It was impossible to get a good reference of the full crystal effect from the show since no crystal effected pony was on the screen for more than a second or two. Sometimes the pattern on their bodies moved, sometimes it didn't, I couldn't tell. There is about a million sparkles in there too since I didn't feel like putting to much effort in there to clean those up as well.
