MagFest 2011/ The 'Sonic' Film Panel
Unlocked

Hello everyone! Eddie here.

So we returned from MagFest 2011 late-Sunday night and we are still recovering. So, time to let everyone know what went down there!

We arrived early-Thursday and the first thing we did was put up banners promoting our two events happening that Saturday: Live "MegaMan" Commentary and our "Sonic" panel. Please note, that the following two posters depicting sonic are earlier designs and renders. Sonic's appearance is bit different now. We will be releasing the new Sonic, publicly in the future.

After that, it was just a lot of gaming and getting our presentation ready! We got to meet internet personality Spoony in person (having exchanging emails with him) which was the Friday highlight! Fast forward to Saturday.

The MegaMan commentary was at 10AM. It was the first panel of the day and usually at this time, the con hasn't peaked for the day so attendance for any panel is hit or miss but I was surprised by the turn out! We got the Main Events room for it and I would say we filled up 35%-40% which is pretty cool for that time slot and the size of the room! We wanted to do the commentary for fun and to talk about "MegaMan 2" for a bit. Overall, a REALLY fun panel! We got to talk with a lot of cool people, sign some autographs, and just have a good time!

Then came the "Sonic" panel at 4PM in panel room 3. The butterflies in my tummy were doing a number on me. David and Dan (the producers) were just as nervous while my significant other stood calm and did her best to chill us out. In addition to that, I was SO nervous about the turn out but 10 minutes before they opened the doors for our panel, a line was forming! We not only packed the room but the remaining people on the line were denied access (damn). Over the next hour, we showed a lot of new concepts images and then the trailer. The trailer ended and there was silence....David was freaking out and I was feeling a sense a dread. Then the audience exploded! I could hear a chatter of "wow" and "that was great!". After talking to some people afterwards, it seems people were paralyzed by what they saw. They did NOT expect to see what they did...and they loved it! Yay! We followed up with a Q&A and asked for some feedback.

Information revealed at the panel:

-Various cameos are in store for the film. This includes cameos and roles featuring EgoRaptor and Nathan Barnatt. -60% of the film will be shot in the US Virgin Islands to capture the atmosphere and feel of the South Island and outskirts of the Green Hill Zone. The remainder will be shot on sets or in the Manhattan area.

-Motobugs, Buzz Bomers, and E-series Droids are confirmed as the film's primary Badniks.
-Chaos Emeralds will serve as a major motivation for Robotnik's character.
-Humans will be a part of the film in a similar fashion to "Sonic Adventure".
-We are hoping to make this into a feature length film upon completion or maybe a web series.
-2011 release is confirmed but the "when" is still pending as well as a premiere.
-Initial release will be on ScrewAttack.com.

All concepts and images from the panel are to hit the site soon!

Our Saturday concluded with two fun happenings: First was an interview with Tainted Reality about the film. The cute camerwoman was cosplaying as Chun-Li so it was the best interview in history:

Interview:

After that, I was invited to a rad Sushi dinner with Stuttering Craig and many other ScrewAttack people. In addition to that, I got to eat with BrentalFloss, James Rolfe (Angry Video Game Nerd) and various members of Cinemassacre. We waited 70 minutes for the food to be served but at least the company was good.

Overall, the panels were a success, we had A LOT of fun playing games, and got to see many familiar face. Bring on MagFest 2012!

As for the teaser that was leaked: it will hit sometime in March since we want to polished it. What we showed wasn't final. For site members that want to see a high quality version of the work in progress tease before it's officially released, you're in for a treat ;).

Thank you all for the support! All feedback and comments are welcomed! :)

OMG what is up with his mouth?! Lol he looks like frickin' Donkey Kong with that lip! Well as long as we don't hear any eeking or ooking come out of him I'm good. :)

Sonic, dat big o mouth o your's is big. It looks more goofy then it does smug like the game designs gave off.

I'm going to be one-hundred-and-fifty-percent honest with you: SONIC LOOKS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! He looks better in your film than he ever has in the Sonic games. In fact, I think that it's safe to say that SEGA should use your new design for the blue speed demon in their future games, because it just looks dynamite. The look of his fur and quills is nothing short of breathtaking: the fur on his body and face gives him a nice touch of realism and tangibility without making him overtly realistic so as to land directly in the uncanny valley, and the quills have an amazing look to them. They look suitably sharp and dangerous, just like they should. I also adore the protective pads that you've added to his gloves; please tell me that you'll be implementing those into part of the film's story. And I don't care what people are saying about the mouth; I think it looks great. Overall, I am completely blown away by this. I look forward to more. Oh, and nice job on both posters. The second one is my favorite (a Genesis artbox? HELL YEAH!!)

Right on, mate: Jaleel White IS the voice of Sonic. ...though I would love to ALSO hear the 'younger, cockier' version again, too. :) Thrilled to hear that the film is mostly going to be built on the games and the SatAM; please, please stay away from Archie Comics... Hey, is Sally going to be in here? I. Am. So. Geeked. Out.

One thing I would like to say it the plot and the overall tone sounds good, however, I know this is a long shot I would have preferred it in traditional animation like the 90's. I dont know how many people may agree with that, but I know a lot of sonic fans do miss traditional animation with him. But otherwise, im really looking forward to this

That Sonic poster looks awesome, I loveee that Sonic's goofy smile. That's so him in my opinion. I can't wait to see all this done. Jaleel White FTW!(For the win!)

I'm Sorry To Say This But The Sonic You Guys Made.... Is Freaking Me Out, And His Spikes Looks Like They're Made Of Metal Or Something.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to point this out: Sonic having a mouth that goes all around his face makes him look terrible. I'm wondering, does he still have that mouth in the trailer (as I can only see a filmed Youtube version of the Magfest release)? If he does, that would be a serious mistake with his character design here. Additionally his spines look ridiculously greasy. I have no idea what CCharmanderK means when he says this is better than the SEGA character model, because the one shown in those posters definitely, definitely is not. In the end, it looks like the Untooned images on Pixeloo, and not in a good way at all. I'm thinking the reason everybody was amazed was because you got Jaleel to play Sonic and because it was 3D-animated. But from what I can see here it wasn't because of the character model.

OMG! It looks so cool... can't wait to see the finished project, though feature length would be cooler, but that would take sooo long to do. Ultimately, it's in your hands to complete it so we can see it. I'm saving all judgements for the final product... at this point, all I can say is... Way Past Cool!

BFG

2011-03-14 00:27:24

Okay Just curious, did axe give you guys a product placement deal for that fur? the mouth is crazily large, I kind of hoped you would take more pointers from the actual games, because now I really appreciate the design in the games more

wow! you guys are amazing! true sonic fans! sonic looks waaaaaaaay past cool!!! :D When I heard Jaleel's voice, I actually teared up! (tears of joy... don't worry! :P) It was like seeing an old friend for the first time in years. It was like a total flashback of when I would wake up bright and early every saturday morning as a kid and watch Sonic the Hedgehog! That guy really knows how to make that 90's nostalgia kick in! I must have watched the trailer like 2,3, maybe 4 hundred million times! I got chills everytime I saw/heard that amazing CGI Sonic talk! The CGI Sonic is INCREDIBLE!! His quills and fur actually look real! :) Also I don't know why people complain about the eyes... I think you guys made his eyes look better than Sonic Team! :D Anyway, your fan film looks FANTASTICALLY FRABJOUS!! :D I can't wait for it's release! You can count on me spreading the word to your awesome fanfilm!! :D Have a frabjous day and keep up your amazing work! :D P.S: I hope you feel better! The exact same thing just happened to me (spread myself too thin with school and got sick). I know how bad it stinks... DEFINITELY put your health first before this! I really hope you get well soon and have fun shooting in Puerto Rico! :D PSS: If you happen to be shooting in Manhattan area next weekend... I hope to possibly run into you guys! :)

The hidden palace zone is one of the challenges in the sonic and knuckles game. The goal of the hidden palace zone is different for each character. As Sonic, you must beat Knuckles and as Knuckles you will watch a story scene. dental residency personal statement
