I found this hilarious entry for SEGA Shorts.

That, honestly, looks like it was intentionally bad.

How about no.

And also, don't contact members asking them to animate a short for you.

Well, this one will probably get me banned.

You know how Atlus was recently purchased by sega? What if we made a short about a couple of Sega executives deciding on the re-branding of Atlus? It'd go like this.


Scene opens with a couple of stereotypical Japanese business men at a table with a representative from Atlus(probably a character from Shin Megami Tensei, whoever is the most popular).

Businessman #1: Now that our acquisition of Atlus is complete we would like to state that we have no intention of changing the way you run things.

Atlus character nods head in approval.

Businessman #2: However, there is the matter of re-branding as your name isn't very appealing on a marketing stand point.

Random guy heads over to a chalkboard with the covers down.

Businessman #1: Fortunately, our marketing department has much experience in getting people to take notice. I give you...

Covers on the chalk board go up revealing

Businessman #1: Atlus '06

Businessman #2: So what do you think?

Atlus character(face palm): This is why you fuckers don't make consoles anymore.

*****
It's essentially the fear of every Atlus fan after hearing about Sega's acquisition. The idea came from a friend of mine who is still in shock about it and quite well aware of Sega's very bad business history.

Well gee, let's ponder all the reasons this is terrible.

You're thinking along the right lines, Atlus' acquisition by Sega could be a good point to make a short about, however I think you missed the most explicit factor of a short's purpose, to be funny.

I mean good lord, I didn't even smirk, not a single molecule in my body thought that was funny, or even that it resembled a joke.

Plus, it doesn't help that it's basically just another lazy attempt at a Sonic 06 joke, which isn't something I can even justifiably call "beating a dead horse", as it's really more "beating a dead horse and its twin brother while simultaneously pissing on their corpses and lighting their ranch on fire and killing all the witnesses".
STRANGE, ISN'T IT?

Eh, it's funny to me and that's what matters.

Does Sega have any bigger failure then Sonic 06? Any other move that perfectly describes their dysfunction at times?

As for beating a dead horse, I prefer mind raped before hand and covered in Mayonaise. No need for fire, I'll eat my post-rape horses raw.

I have an idea which I feel could be friendly to people who do not animate. In Sonic Adventure (#1), if you ever paid attention to the journal entries, you would notice that the character would read aloud and be able to speak in synch with them almost perfectly. My idea is that when Tails is reading aloud his entry on a screen he accidentally falls behind. I feel that this would be a fine avenue for me to showcase my voice skills as Tails. The only thing I need to know what was the font used in the journals (I am absolutely positive I saw them in the ending credits) and where I could get it and download it.

Upon figuring out this information, I would be absolutely happy to let anybody use this skeleton of a short as long as they don't plagiarize my work (just use the idea of something goes wrong when somebody reads their journal, such as Amy discovering Sonic reading his out loud and bugging him about love notes but not clearly ripping mine off such as Knuckles falling behind).
Here we go again!

Out of curiosity; now that sega owns atlus, would that make their games qualify for sega shorts, just games released after their purchase, or not at all?

You want a failure bigger than Sonic '06? Try any actual financial failure, like the 32X or even in some aspects, the Saturn.

Sonic '06 was a terrible game, but by no means was it a failure for the company, they made a shitton of money off of that game.

Also I don't think I can even justifiably respond to the fact that you just made a rape joke about horses, other than calling you disgusting. Which you are.

not to mention the fact that when making something for other people, the creator of the idea being the only one who likes it is not what matters in any situation

^^^ This a million times over.

"It's funny to me and that's what matters" is entirely the wrong way to go about creating an idea for the shorts.

You may think dead babies are friggin' hilarious, but chances are, everyone else isn't going to share your enthusiasm. Or at least, the ones who do will probably be hauled off to the psych ward.

There's multiple ways which one can see if a idea can work or not other then instantly posting it just because you think its funny. I'm going to name three very easy ways you could of used to see if you could of had something or not below.
1. The simplest way would be to follow Smegeramas idea guide. If your idea does not meet his guides criteria then just toss the idea out now or work it to fit into his guide lines.
2. If you absolutely need feedback and help then ask someone like a friend who can give pointers before posting it, see if they like it or if they could add anything to it to make it better.
3. Just sit on the idea. See if it remains funny to you after 3 days or so. In this time see if you can alter it or even add a scene to lead to a punch line or if it can work with a different character.

Any of these ways could of gave you a better joke and indication then what was just transpired

Businessman #1: Atlus '06
Hey buddy, I'd hate to break it to 'ya, but we ain't in the year 2006 anymore. We're in the year 2013, which will soon turn into the year 2014.

I know, it's confusing, but you'll learn to live with it.

Here is an idea any animator is free to use or modify at will.

The "camera" shows an egg capsule. We go inside the egg capsule and there are two rabbits and a chicken. All of them are in skinny, scrawny and disheveled. One rabbit is off to the side, laying there, possibly dead.

Chicken: "Ugggggh, how much longer?"

Sandopolis Zone music, from Sonic & Knuckles, plays lightly in the background

Rabbit: "I don't know man, it's not looking good. How is Tony?" pointing to the possibly dead rabbit

Chicken: "Where the heck is Sonic! He's supposed to be here by now, right?! When are we gonna get OUTTA HERE?!" Starting to talk panicky nonsense

Suddenly the 'dead' rabbit morphs into a Hyudoro, the two barely-alive animals in shock.
