This just made me realize that the part where sonic does his sonic adventure pose in the dance scene was probably boarded and put in there by a fan and that makes me super happy
I'm an animator in training and I think it's awesome that your worked on the sonic the hedgehog 2 movie. How you best captured the characters and where they go from there.
Loved the movie, I just wish that Sonic and Tails showed any expression in ear movement, preferably cat-like one, because you can show a lot in that. When a character looks angry and their ears are in a neutral position, it feels like they're just glued here for no reason, and making them lay back would feel a lot more natural. When Sonic catches the feather and it didsapears, he could have his ears a little down/ to the sides to show more sadness
I usually do this kinda thumb boards to plan story animation, but I haven't started a full blown animation yet. I just mostly draw for fun for video game fanart.
i saw sonic 2 in theaters on opening weekend and was totally hyped the whole way through this video is a really cool insight into part of that production process now i'm figuring out storyboarding for some music video stuff i may be working on, so that video is helpful for that as well
this literally almost brings me to tears because its so inspirational that you get to work on such an elevated project because of your hardwork and dedication to your craft
I'm no professional, but I'm starting a storyboard project for a comic I want to make one day, and your break-down of the whole process really helps! Hopefully I'll be able to work more quickly and consistently now!
Once again, congrats on the Sonic 2 gig! Really awesome work on those boards, and I appreciate all the advice you gave in this video! Also I love that derpy Tails at 9:49 XD Seeing your boards really inspires me to be more loose with my own. Whenever I try to do story art for my own portfolio or whatever I always worry that they don't look "clean" enough... which YES, I KNOW, isn't supposed to be the point! But when I see other storyboards artists and how polished their work is, I feel pressured to make my own stuff look clean as well... like I have this nagging fear in the back of my brain that if I don't make my boards look good, I won't make the cut for any potential story jobs. I really should stop worrying about that and let loose.
12:28 I was working on a animation related to Deltarune and so I was lisning to the soundtrack and I noticed it deffintly helped me be more focused on the animation
As someone who hopes to work in animation or storyboarding this was soooo cool to see your process!! (Plus it was cool to see “behind the scenes” in Sonic 2 which is like my new fav movie!!) 😁
This was awesome Toniko! I'm glad to hear and see you're moving up in the industry and it's well deserved! Also the video is so helpful as I'm currently directing and soon storyboarding my first serious animation short series! (Currently thumbnailing) Wishing you much more success to come!! ❤🔥
Dude this is one of my favorite movies now, I went to see it at theater twice because I loved it so much! I just stumbled upon your channel from this video, this is way past cool! 😁
This was very helpful!! I especially liked when you brought up your process in storyboarding (what you were told in school vs what you actually learned in the field). I am trying to get in the industry so hearing things like this helps me put things in perspective!
okay but drop the full Super Bass animation, king (congrats again on this, I've admired your work for ages and I love Sonic, so this is a great combo!!!)
What, you animated my favorite scene in the movie? When Sonic hears from hologram Long claw about the master emerald and Wade joking around. Thank you I love this movie so much I’m glad you were part of the team
I really enjoyed this video! I loved hearing from someone who had a part in the film and how the process went for a storyboard artist such as yourself :)
just wanted to drop by and thank you for your channel! I hope to be an animator someday, and your videos really help calm some of my anxieties down while getting me really excited for what my future could be!
Congrats. Saw this sequel with my family and enjoyed it much more than I expected. And….got you kinda got to work with the great Jim Carrey, right? Lol
as a Animatior myself grew up love watch paint animations and pivot animations since when I was in 2nd grade in the early 2000s back in the day coming home from school funny animations made by windows paint and watching Xiao Xiao stick fight animation from pivot. Before I got into animating and I used to be in art classes all the time. This animation artwork is really good my friend
woah! i never knew you work for the movie, and my jaw almost drop reading the title. also does this mean verbalase is canon on the sonic movie lore since its get you to the mood to made the sequence😳?
yeh it's kind of crazy how a loose drawing that's maybe only 50% on model looks way more appealing than a refined drawing that's like 80% on model but not quite there. also lmao what was that beatboxing super sonic video?
