Solar Wind 596 August 10, 2012 Share August 10, 2012 first I saw this picture of photo finish without the dress and glasses. Then I saw this of twilight. Then I realized that they have the same cutie mark. Except photo finish has a camera on hers. I think the first one is just a fan made picture but there are others from the show where you can see her mark. I wanna know what you guys think about the simmilaRaritys (see what I did there!) and the differences. (Nothing done there.) Also if you have other pictures that show Photos cutie mark in the show than that would be nice of you. Thanks for viewing. 1 See, I'm Greed. I want everything you can think of.

NavelColt 22,884 August 10, 2012 Share August 10, 2012 Sounds like the unimaginative train hit the artist, if it truly is her cutie mark. If not, then it's just that one guy. I get that it should be a flash with a camera, that's a great idea, but it certainly looks far too similar in that picture. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PonyEcho 1,610 August 10, 2012 Share August 10, 2012 well she is looking for a pony who has "the magic" to take pictures of, so her cutie mark kinda makes sense. 3 my DA http://heavyecho.deviantart.com/ check my stuff out the Anime Club http://mlpforums.com/topic/48196-the-anime-club/ plz join us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphanatic 298 April 15, 2013 Share April 15, 2013 I think it started with an animation error. A crew member noted that Photo Finish was made from a slightly modified version Twilight Sparkle's character model, and the visibility of Twilight's cutie mark was most likely overlooked during production because she always wore a dress that covered her flank. The trading cards also show Twilight's cutie mark on Photo Finish's card because of this animation error. I wouldn't consider this to be valid evidence either because the trading cards are not 100% official as they're only licensed by Hasbro. I wouldn't consider her cutie mark to be canon. 1 74 Roller Coasters Ridden (64 Steel, 1 Hybrid, 9 Wood)! See me at Coasterpedia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the correct answer. I read that somewhere as well; they just used the same character model for Photo Finish and never corrected her cutie mark. She's actually Rainbow Dash in disguise.

Nature's Spell 526 April 15, 2013 Share April 15, 2013 This is a good example of the danger of reading too much into anything. The animators make more errors than anybody would want (but also do beautiful work), so it's hard to be sure if it is just a mistake or meaningful. A great example of this is the sky cutie mark in MMC having 6 small stars instead of the normal 5. 1 Princess Twilight Sparkle: Princess of Friendship Princess Luna: Princess of the Night My short stories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootalove 10,692 April 15, 2013 Share April 15, 2013 I guess their cutie marks and character model are the same and they forgot to change Photo Finish's cutie mark to probably a camera or at least anything stylish in fashion. Oh well, minor mistake. 2 Credit: Moony © Forum FAQ Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontagnaMagica 307 April 15, 2013 Share April 15, 2013 well she is looking for a pony who has "the magic" to take pictures of, so her cutie mark kinda makes sense. Yes! Hahaha! Exactly right! I think I like the artist's combination of the camera and the "magic" cutie mark. It's just too perfect!

Originally I admit I was slightly dissapointed, but I like the way you put it it definitely seem,s to make sense when you look at it like that .

Well, Rainbow Dash did fly so fast that she gave her friends puberty, so changing cutie marks shouldn't be that much of a stretch. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvadel 1,394 April 16, 2013 Share April 16, 2013 The problem also is that there are more ponies than there are potential cutie marks. There are probably a dozen ponies with star marks in Manehattan alone. Silvadel, the Pegasus of Insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homura Akemi 974 April 16, 2013 Share April 16, 2013 Silly animators. They've recycled cutie marks before. If she ever returns maybe they'll change it again. Who knows? Twilie's mark is still awesome. though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Dreams 1,893 April 19, 2013 Share April 19, 2013 Yeah, I noticed that too. I'm pretty sure that, as others have said, it was just because the same character model was used. Oh animators. U so silly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManiacForPonies 27 April 19, 2013 Share April 19, 2013 Because it... represents the... magic of... photography? I guess. No but really, I had never before noticed that. And I have seen Green Isn´t your color at least 5 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since when was there a connection between cutie marks and puberty? It's just an overused, unoriginal, and unfunny joke.

dekutree64 713 May 16, 2013 Share May 16, 2013 I like the "capture the magic" explanation. It's quite a fitting mark for her, so I'd bet on character designer laziness rather than animation error... or maybe not even laziness, since (as has been said in previous posts) lots of background ponies have duplicate or similar cutie marks, so it's actually nice to have some similar to the mane 6 out there in the world. Covering it with the dress most of the time is good to avoid confusing viewers, though. Oh, and Twilight was in the room with Photo Finish during the first shoot. I'm surprised she didn't go wild over Twilight instead of Fluttershy She has that awkward beauty thing too, and is teh magic Or perhaps the whole mane 6, cause of the whole "friendship is magic" thing. I'd love to see her around more often. Her accent amuses me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappy0 338 May 16, 2013 Share May 16, 2013 Twilight's Cutie mark magic is magic and she captures magic. I don't think it's an error but, If it is a than they got very lucky with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trixie the Greatest 131 May 16, 2013 Share May 16, 2013 (edited) It has been confirmed by someone that Photo Finish's template is actually Twilight Sparkle's. Therefore why when you see some scenes where her skirt almost reveals her mark it has the same pattern. I believe the wiki on the show also stated the same thing but I have to look at it again to make sure.

Guest May 20, 2013 Share May 20, 2013 Actually Photo Finish's cutie mark makes perfect sense. Her cutie mark is a camera flashing twilight sparkle's cutie mark. I know it's just a camera before twi's cutie mark but how else would you illustrate a flash in the mlp universe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zygen 6,066 May 20, 2013 Share May 20, 2013 I think its probably just an odd animation error that Twilights cutie mark ended up on Photo finish. Plus cutie marks have been mixed up and used on random ponies and stuff before, I'm sure if she ever shows up again she'll have another mark, if its ever shown. Maybe the developers where just lazy .
