Special Thanks to Katya Richardson, Tristen Hinickie, Hypo (Inspiration), Apochedgie, Sonic Team, and my fellow filmmakers/ animators.
Well this was incredibly fun to work on indeed after watching the two recreations made by Hypo. There had to be way to top it, and give more backstory for Shadow Fall.
Lets take a journey back to 1998, a time when one of the most beloved Sonic games was released on the Sega Dreamcast in 3D for the first time. It was met with great praise from critics and fans alike and gained a legendary status in the franchise. However it had aged poorly graphically throughout the years. I wanted to do something the fans have been asking to see an HD version that was done with new 3D graphics and VFX; something that was not technologically available at the time of its original release. Everything you see here was all scene built, animated, and hand lit by me, it was my first solo recreation alone .
[DEVELOPMENT]
In developing this short little film recreating the first three cutscenes in Sonic's story, I wanted to do a combination of both old and new when it came down to visuals and sounds to get the scenes to near perfection. I gained a lot of inspiration from Hypo and took up learning blocking methods and puppeteering to get the same kind of quality. It had to be both familiar and refreshing at the same time which really pushed some limits both for me and my composer. With that, meant having to clean the sound up for HQ format (and getting rid of some for realism), keeping a lot of the same frames but with adjusted cinematography and creating new shots, creating new Foley, and scoring new original music while mixing classic with modern. IT IS NOT PERFECT, as I did run into some issues animating in Source which are present such as several lights refusing to rotate on a locked axis so they look multicolored and Chaos not having a bone hierarchy for a proper rig, so I had to get creative. Creating a lot of the custom models was very difficult in Blender, but it was all worth it in the end. Please enjoy the short film!
LOOK HERE:
-I understand that I used Craig's voices for Foley and Ryan's for the actual dialogue. I didn't have time to go file searching over 400 lines or get together a cast.
-Everything was a scene build
-Many animations were blocked and keyed by looking at gameplay footage(I'm so happy on how it turned out!)
-I realize that Chaos has a brain, but unfortunately due to technical limitations, I had to either choose to show it and risk the model looking too invisible/abstract or make Chaos look like moving water similar to his generation look. Although I think I might do a little trial and error for the next one ;)
-I will NOT release any of the assets used here (it would't be special if everyone used it).
(*There are some obvious and not so obvious references to other Sonic works and Sega, can you spot them all?*)

Thank you for keeping the original VA
Your quite welcome, its a privilege to hear that from you :)
Balenaproductions hey steve
I nou you wil not work on whole game like this but i am curious....even if you du (wich you probobliy and most defenetliy not) make whole game like this(well i have 2 questions) 1.Wuld it be a HD version that you did in the video? and 2.Wuld it cal ''SONIC ADVENTURE HD''?:)So haus that sound for something that wuld never hapen as you wuld sey:) Ok...it wil not but atlist keap thinking of it :)
Balenaproductions Hi BELENAPRODUCTIONS!
Hm, Hmmmmmmm, Origins! Yeah, Let's get right into that!
This is some of the best Sonic SFM animation I've ever seen.
I would literally agree! If this guy keeps on making these Sonic Adventure cutscene recreations, then the guy should combine all the Sonic Adventure cutscene recreation videos... AND MAKE A SONIC ADVENTURE MOVIE!!!
Agreed
@@knuxy1361 making a mod that replaces the original cutscenes would be grand too
@@tamtoon2474 yeah that'd be cool too, dunno if it would be possible since the actual cutscenes are being played in-game.
@@knuxy1361 still would be cool if it replaced the cgi cutscenes tho, still better than seeing those godforsaken humans in eggman's twitter announcement for sa2
Was i the only one who expected the bullets to drop from Chaos? lol
gabriel montreuil IKR that and where the hell was chaos's brain
gabriel montreuil same lol
That, and the lack of a proper "Watch out, you're gonna crash! AAAAHHHHH!" are the only things keeping this movie from perfection!
Dylan Ogega And The Lack Of The Gud Faces
I expected it
WATCH OUT YOURE GONNA CRASH
AHH
WOAH!
A master emerald
Oh No!
Donald Trumpling "ba ga day ding dang dun" I always love that sound effect.
Looks incredible 👍
Thank You and contribution to Shadow Fall will hopefully bring the seriousness and the action packed Sonic Adventure theme back into the limelight of its former glory :)
+Sheath Entertainment™ I'm looking forward to it
+Sheath Entertainment™ OMG! How do you make this look like a movie??
you are awesome man
can the creator make the full games cutscenes and put them together in a movie. that would be cool
You actually presented everything in such a way that it looked really natural and vibrant. Even the voice-acting of the original cast fits better in this animation, than it does in the original game. That's impressive!
Great job man! I love the small detail work you did to make it look close to the game!
WATCH OUT! YOU'RE GONNA CRASH!
MY EYES!
It's kinda like an "I can't watch" moment.
Ray Kniga-Bartlett
I can't watch my buddy die he needs to fly out of the Tornado
Simply amazing! It makes me want to see a remastered versions of the Adventure games!
The only problem I have is that you could hear Roger Craig Smith's grunts in some places, besides that, I love it!
You should totally do more of these remade cutscenes, if you have the time!
***** *foreshadowing?*
ThatCubeGamer don't we already have enough remasters? Sonic1,Sonic2 other genisis games. In total there were 4 or 5 ports for sonic adventure. Same goes for sonic adventure 2 that's enough games
+dead mem3 fatss
Ports mean nothing.
They could keep the VA for the cutscenes and gameplay.
I swear, if Sega remakes Sonic Adventure, they'd better use these graphics. This is PERFECT!!!!
Aaron AJ Knight Yep, the animation in the actual game is terrible.
actually the graphics aren't that good. But still the graphics are better than the original sonic adventure.
daniel fahimi I mean the graphics and the animation on the release game is terrible. You know.
Imagine this as a movie though.
meh, the SFM tech is too old for a new game.
i need more in my life
ILL BE SEEING YOU!
OLOL
Imagine the sonic movie being in this style...
Goalringmod27 ohno
Haven't seen you in a while
Most of these recreations just use already existing maps for the Source Engine, because making maps is hard, but I really like how you went so far as to recreate Station Square itself. It's a nice touch, and really adds to the quality of this recreation.
Even the most beautiful animation can't make this dialogue any less 2000.
I love how expressive you've made Sonic. He showed more emotion in this game than his last three main series games.
This is how Sonic games should be made!
Yea A Sonic Adventure Remaster Version
but without the facial features of the original it just doesn't feel right
Yea
The only thing that would make this perfect it's the derpy face expressions and poor lip sychronization *Just kidding* This doesn't even look like a SFM animation,it looks like one of those perfect CGI movies that gets Oscars, keep up the good work ^-^
Some of the animations are ripped from unleashed.
Hey, dude! First of all AWSOME animation!!! :D Can I do a Spanish Version of this? I'm a spanish fandubber of Sonic, Would you give me permission to dub it?
Wao sergi me sorprendiste
Oh yeah this could be fun
LOL que haces aqui? XD
Esperare tu dub sergi ya que también me gusta como haces la voz para sonic
put the same amount of effort into the dub ad the actual va's did
Loved every second! The cinematic shots, the enhanced soundtrack, the more intimidating SS police, Chaos and Eggman looking more menacing overall (man I miss Deem Bristow...) SA1 has been in DIRE need of a facelift!
Great work!
Yup
Welp, looks like this got noticed more than I imagined. I have heard what my audience has communicated and I guess there's only one thing to do now...WORK ON THE NEXT CUTSCENE CREW!!!
Looks like I'm the only one who caught F.L.U.D.D. from Mario Sunshine at 4:17
Sheath Entertainment™ definitely want this, sonic adventure had great level design and the right amount of edge.
Sonic Adventure Remastered coming soon to Xbox One, PS4,NX and PC.
blazingsonic now see, I'm with that!
SEGA please mak it happen.
Eduardo Joshua well... one can dream, dude.
hey not cool
blazingsonic Don't forget The Soon to be PS5 and Maybe The Xbox Two
That people make these types of videos in their free time just blows me.
dude i fucking LOVE THIS
cinematics that contribute to a way bigger, in depth story is something i love in sonic that they haven't done for years
you and hypo are making the adventure games look modern & badass
I would kill to have an entire movie done like this
Excellent work! This looks great! Makes me wish that Sonic Adventure would get a remake. You did a very job here! Nice work on making Sonic expressive here. I love it. One criticism I would have to make though is the use of voice clips. It's best not to use a mixture of different voice clips since Ryan and Roger have completely different voices for Sonic which made this a bit jarring. It's best to just keep it consistent and add Sonic's grunts from SA2 since it had the same voice in SA1.
The one in SA2 is the same guy but the voice still sounds different too.
+David Claxton Ryan's voice might be a bit higher pitched in SA2 but his SA2 voice grunts are still very similar and minor enough to utilise here so they can still be used when doing something like this again in the future. It just makes more sense to stick to one voice altogether when it comes to stuff like this.
same
3:22 Eggman's head is brighter than my future
this feels like some sonic movie teaser.
I'm from the future and this video was better than the Sonic Movie.
@a h o e it is just good
you brought life to horrific voice acting... and trust me, I actually love the sonic adventure games, but some parts are way too silly to defend; and you've made it really cool.
damn I love you.
Holy carp this looks... so so good? Awesome job with animation and textures! Could be a movie. Makes me want an HD remake of this glorious game. Fantastic work!
Gotta say, I really appreciate the effort that went into this, from the HD remade version of Station Square, to the details like people falling over when Sonic runs by.
This looks amazing! I wish they'd remake SA1 and 2 and then follow it up with a 3rd title to complete the trilogy. It wouldn't need much of a story, it could just be The Return of Chaos.
Good stuff! Though, I wish the humans looked less- creepy. Human designs change rapidly throughout the Sonic series, but they were more anime-styled in SA1 (something many reviewers forget to mention) However, given SFM’s exporting of public-use models and how nobody made hi-def human models for SA1, I doubted that much could be done to fix that anyway.
This was really well made!
Ugh, this is SO good. For some reason, it feels so cool and amazing to see Station Square redesigned and in high definition.
HOLY CRAP THAT WAS TRULY AMAZING! SEGA SHOULD HIRE YOU FOR ANIMATION! 10/10
Something you would see in the movie theaters. Beautiful.
Really nicely made. some bits of criticism here:
-Sonic's voice clips are a bit inconsistent. You'd use Ryan Drummond's lines from the cut scene but later use Roger Craig Smith grunts. Rather jarring considering both actors have a different pitch.
-You seem to be using several generations animations. Some of them are really well incorporated into the scene, however don't make a habit of overusing them in future animations as it'll become quite apparent. But do feel free to use the basic walking,running,jogging,spinning ones as much as you'd like for action sequences.
-Cinematography needs a little bit more work. I found Chaos introduction into the frame a bit abrupt. Maybe you could've built it up a little bit more. Try looking at films and experimenting with more dynamic camera angles. Personally I feel chaos could've been a bit out of frame to later reveal his full appearance when sonic came in, to create a small sense of mystery. However you seemed to have the right idea here to establish a mood so that's a great plus.
-Some of the acting for the characters felt a bit off. Eggman's evil laugh for example has him motioning his arms in circles. I found it a bit awkward looking at it again. Look up the sonic unleashed CG intro and take note how eggman cackles in laughter, the way he exaggerates and wails his arms and torso with power. It's actually a psychological fact that men who feel empowered often like to occupy a lot of space around them. Which is why you see people like your boss for example having big desks in their offices with lots of space. They'll even put their legs on on them to get a better sense of superiority. Eggman does this a lot with his mannerisms and machinery.
Why thank you so much for your constructive criticism! Honestly the only animated part I reused was Sonic's ball roll. Everything else was blocked key framed which I needed to learn and I had to literally had to watch and mirror gameplay footage animation (the process was like scrapping a cheese grater against my head to get it right). Some were better than others due to time constraints. But this was just the introduction to get people familiar with their old game, I am looking forward to trying new methods in cinematography, sound, and animation :)
Excuse me Sheath this is an epic masterpiece. Can i use this in a video I'm making?
Hi there! Sorry no can do on that, the only exception is if you were doing a reaction video or some form of journalism/reporting.
Awesome! Good to see Ryan's lines getting to shine without the sound overpowering the clips and with good lip sync.
DUDE THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!
...why does it only have 46k views!?
ikr thia is sooo perfect
This is officially my favorite video of all time. Thank you and God bless you for creating this!
1:33
I love that guy in the blues movement
He's like: WUT THE F-
@Good boy Bad boy That's not the name of the guy in the blue shirt I was talking about dude! XD
And ofc I know who Sonic is
ok, not only dose this need to be done for the WHOLE game, but this is PROOF that (IMO) a sonic movie could work.
Thanks so much for the awesomeness that is you, my fellow audience! Check out Sheath Entertainment's Facebook page in the description for more information on the next recreation, Shadow Fall, and other projects in development. Who knows, I mean I just received a news report about the authorities transporting a hedgehog aboard a military transport...
Sheath Entertainment™ dude ur are amazing man. Keeping on making more Sonic Adventure recreations.
This is awesome!! (I shrieked at the end because FLUDD caught me really off guard, what an awesome touch!)
I was expecting that cop to shoot sonic when he landed on the car........ don't judge me.
Sonicfangabe gaster lol
Sonicfangabe gaster It's because he's blue, isn't it?
Nice.
That would be something shadow would do
Lol nice job having FLUDD @4:17 and amazing re-creation my dude!
Police: "OUR WEAPONS ARE USELESS!!!"
Sonic: "Have you tried jumping on his head?"
Mario Bros: "THANK YOU!!"
😂
The guy’s made of a liquid
Damn, this is movie quality! I'd love to see a whole movie about Sonic Adventure like this. Keep up the great work! 👍🏿
Confirmed Beerus vs Chaos two gods of destruction
THIS IS SO FREAKING CLEAN
someone needs to make a remastered version of the game with cutscenes like this
The quality of the animation almost makes it look like a movie.
If it weren't for the split in Sonic's eyes, I wouldn't even be able to tell that it was made in SFM.
4:00 well...that's an improvement for sure.
Literally the only real problem (and only because all of SA1's music is dear to me.. So bias) is that the original version of it doesnt matter didnt get played when sonic came in. Besides that, this whole recreation was extremely pleasing. Sure, a few details here and there (the bullets falling out of Chaos being absent, maybe building up the villainous entry a bit more, minor stuff), but you really did a hellaciously good job on this. Thankya!
Bro how did u get a leaked cutscene of the sonic adventure remastered game?
Wait wah-
Great job! This is how official Sonic cutscenes should be animated when not using CGI.
I compared this with the latest Sonic Forces game cutscene and that doesn't even come close to the fluidity of this.
Also despite the fact that you used Modern Sonic's design, you managed to make him not look like a complete fool, something Sega does now since around Sonic Colors.
Rest easy knowing now that you are better than a team of professionals.
This is actually really neat, only complaint is Chaos' model. But assuming you might've made it from scratch, it's still impressive.
The nostalgia is so real in this video, thank you for making this
Dude, you should consider making your own Sonic Films. With all the details you've made based on the game, it wouldn't surprise me if Sega offered you a Job over there.
Okay seriously, your animation style of this Dreamcast game is SO much better than the original and the DX Remake. You so gotta get SEGA to have you on board!
this looks incredible the only complaint i have is chaos is too transparent in the game hes light blue
I want this whole game as a movie now.
Your shots were so good
Why is this already better than the live-action Sonic movie?! :D
MaddestMike NO
OMG! THAT WAS EPIC!!! Wow, seriously dude, EPIC!!! Wow! I love Sonic's expressions in this too!
Did you use part of my 8bit remix of Open Your Heart as your intro theme? Maybe I'm wrong, but if I'm not, please at least credit me in the description :]
You are completely correct, I missed that in copying the description from notepad. You have been credited Mr./Ms. Auxpert. Thank You :)
Np!
Have you considered making a channel trailer and then promoting it? IT could help you tonnes!
I haven't, but thanks for the tip!
Auxpert love your work
yooo, this is incredibly smooth. beautiful work you have managed
If only the Sonic movie would be more like this, but instead, we're getting *sigh* a live-action CGI hybrid movie (the only thing that might save this movie is the fact that it will be directed by Tim Miller(the same guy that directed Deadpool) :/
This is awesome. You did a great job on remastering the classic Sonic Adventure!
Wait... "God of Destruction"? Where did I hear that before?
Beerus-sama
This is amazing! I mean there are bits and pieces that could be improved but I am seriously impressed. Love it! Congrats 👏
Sigh... why can't this be the sonic movie instead some some live action crap?
Nathan Parker that’s something a friend and colleague of mine from the university are going to discuss in our first podcast. We’re going to talk about why Hollywood feels the need to go live action for adaptations of video games and other popular franchises.
@@SheathEntertainment I know, it's weird. Not only do live action adaptations of... well, anything really, seem to do really poorly in the box office and it, ironically kind of breaks the immersion of whatever is trying to be recreated. Well actually, I that depends on what series that is, but it makes that world and mainly the characters in that world can look really out of place compared to all the human characters in the cast. And.... as far as Sonic's model from what we've seen so far...
(Insert Obligatory
Knuckles)
OH NO.
RIGHT 😭. A CGI movie wit ALL the events/characters from the main canon/storyline games... PERFECT
Oh how wrong you were a year ago
SirRayman113 Le Channel oh it’s awesome now. I know that to be sure, but we didn’t know that at the time.
OH THE FEELS ARE REAL! This was my first Sonic game, been a fan ever since! :,)
No Eggman the God of destruction is Beerus
By the gods! This is beastly! Why this doesn't have millions of views is beyond me!
Sonic Adventure HD
More like Sonic Adventure the Movie.
Not even Sonic Team could pull off such amazing animations!
Oh man, this needs to be a full blown movie!
This Looks 100 Times Better Than The Original.Theres More Expression That Comes Out Of Sonic.Keep Up The Great Work 👍
This is the first Sopnic SFM that is not cringey AF. Congratulations.
Fantastic job, simply perfect!! I wish every cutscene from this game would be remade in SFM!!!
this is so perfect the attention to details the Easter eggs the fact that you make the SSPD look less like unorganized fools.
The 2 only nitpicks I could find are that the Chaos model lakes the brain in his head and that the really cool scene in with the bullets effect less fall out of chaos is missing but beside this is this just Perfect.
I'd honestly watch every ep if you did the whole story of Sonic Adventure in this cinematic format. You got my sub, boi.
This is what a remastered Sonic Adventure would look like, great job!
This is soo good!! It genuinely felt like a movie❤!
This is truly amazing. Thank you so much for this.
I actually like how you made Sonic cover his face when Tails was about to crash, it really shows that Sonic was concerned for Tails, as in the original he just looked. Much more expressive :3
ohhh...my....gosh....this looks just like a movie
Yes! Love that! This would be awesome if Sega redid SA with those graphics! Great video 👍
This was so awesome! Now I want the whole movie to SA1!
I love how new "scenes" were added to this, with more showcasing of the police and tail's reaction to his falling plane! Its an amazing recreation of the first scenes of the game!
That was FREAKING AWESOME!!! :D
It must have taken a long time to be able to animate all of that!! ^^
This was great! I loved it. Sonic Adventure is one of my favorite games. Keep it up!
Dude I love this, this is so amazing I might be late on it but wow!!!
I wish this was the real deal, I'm gonna cry T^T
Someone needs to take the hint that the Sonic movie coming a few years down the line should be like this. Excellent animation!
Damn bro! This could actually be a sonic adventure awesome movie!
This was amazing! Brings back so many memories!
That guitar variation of the station square at the end is just dope.
Even though I expected chaos to be a bit more blue-ish, this animation is beyond prefect ! 👏
This looks amazing! I really wish there was a Sonic Adventure HD! Great job! Keep it up! :)
didn't really care for the way Tikal or Chaos was handled but otherwise THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!! ALL OF THE SA1 CUTSCENES SHOULD BE GIVEN THIS HD REMASTER!!!
