The animation studio I work at announced to us in a meeting last week we are contracted for Sonic 2.
I posted right after our boss talked to us last week on here. Was not met with much belief.
Regardless we got a brief summary, list of characters we need to animate, a folder of pictures from the games for accuracy of design and everyone's computer monitors all show the giant '2' from the American cover of Sonic 2 on Genesis.
I do want to add that our boss ended the meeting with what I think is the movie tagline, and it is cringe:
"Run Faster, Fly Higher, Knuckle Up!"
Cameron White
And also, since there is no footage of live actors to work with at this time, it seems this film will feature more CGI locations and focus on those characters too for more of the film, but the summary does mention Tom and Robotnik.
So I think the focus is more on Sonic.
Kevin Garcia
You are a part of the problem and should be punished for it.
as proof you have to somehow put Cred Forums in the finished movie
Levi King
I honestly cannot say I have much pull on things. I am a part of a team designing effects, like lightning and shit. I mean, I can try to make light from a 'b' at some point and sneak that in. However you won't remember this post two years from now before you see any sign of the film.
Parker Russell
OP here, yeah, they went bankrupt. We here are honestly all pretty concerned about the situation. We are gonna make bank here because of the contract. (At least the studio)
I shouldn't have said that.
Jayden Turner
Will Tom and Preztel Lady(forgot her name) have any presence in 2? I'm gonna assume tails and knuckles make their first appearance, but is knuckles gonna be a bad guy? Considering the Echinda tribe made sonic leave in the first place. One more thing, Longclaw. Is she dead or no?
Ryan Martin
Larping this hard FAGGOT
Owen Parker
ru worried the same would happen to ur studio
Caleb Smith
Tom is defending Green Hills with the citizens from knuckles invading forces while Sonic and Tails are off traveling zones looking for artifacts or something while Knuckles is chasing them. Robotnik is behind leading him to Sonic as an "alliance " then betrays them by making his people into Badniks and Knuckles teams up with Sonic and Tails to beat him again.
Joseph Phillips
Did they make Sonic gay?
Joshua Hall
They had a lot against them with that shitty Cats movie. I think we should be fine. We are worried fans might be up in arms again, so we are sticking strong to game design
Isaiah Baker
when you work on sequels i would assume there's heavy reuse of existing assets though?
people seem to really like the final sonic 3d model so it would be really stupid to mess with it again
Connor Johnson
Idk. I have no script to read, just a brief description.
Thomas Reyes
Yeah, we have some assets and models to work with already, but we have to create a few from scratch. Knuckles is going to look different than the echidna dudes in the first. He has to stand out. Plus we have to design MechaSonic.
Nolan Thompson
Dude, we aren’t supposed to talk about this...
Adrian Ward
sonic model gonna be upgraded?
Brody Cruz
Are you an independent contractor with your own NDA? do you hire lawyer/accountant for forms and books? How much money do you make? And tips for someone to get a job - how wide is your skillset? Specialist or Jack of all trades?
Robert Hughes
There are tons of sketches being done for characters. But we have a whole folder of game screenshots to work off of but with a functional look next to humans. Also the majorityof work is being put into zones as we call them here. Basically a lot of the levels from the first and second Sonic games
Adam Cook
what does the NDA say
Jaxon Smith
Will it be as memetic as the first movie?
Jaxson Jones
Not touching him design wise. Company wide NDA, studio with a lot of employees. I make less than you think you would make doing this work, but I bought a house and a decent car off it. The only advice I can ever give you is when you go for a job, be willing to move wherever the work is and have a huge portfolio of work. You will get turned down a lot but if you keep trying, you will get on. Don't ever be discouraged to do smaller animation work. Also...be sure you really want this type of work. It is slow, tedious and fucking miserable at times.
Austin Johnson
Don't say shit. I hope.
Jason Kelly
Ehh, I guess I can tolerate it. As long as we see a more Eggman style from Dr. Robotnik.
Cool hoax faggot Ever thought about killing yourself
Benjamin Clark
How much you make a year?
Justin Martin
Honestly I have no idea about what the human actors will look like. But yeah I hope the same.
I guess we will know more in the coming year as they set a filming date for the live action portions.
Really holding our breath here that the China film market makes sonic a lot of money after this Corona virus shit gets the fuck outta here. The project could be pulled if they pirated that shit enough.
Lucas Powell
Try not to swallow a bullet.
Jacob Bennett
Have to make the arms yellow
Samuel Brown
Yes I have. I do not want to say. Enough for a single fat digital effects nerd.
John Clark
Yeah, thinking about it, it also depends on whether Jim Carey can handle such a coarse voice. He started going that way with the end scene, but we'll see.
