This is a 'sonic' short.
The idea is good, but only sonic-related ideas are needed, and this is not related to sonic, I am sorry
My brain hurts....am I wrong in saying there's 2 devisions as of a few days ago, where the sonic paradox team are now also doin "Sega" shorts, featuring.characters from Sega? Cus the thread im in is called Sega shorts ideas, and there's a separate thread for sonic shorts....

It's a joke on how Sonic and gang has 72 HOURS to save the world, or else Eggman would "unleash his ultimate weapon upon the world". Try and guess what I'm referencing with the 72 hours thing.

So, you're blatantly referencing a Nintendo game...

did you bother to read the Guide??

So far, I'm liking some of the ideas we got here.

The Chu Chu Rocket/Sonic Colors crossover: The similarity between the rocket and the rocket wisp is definitely uncanny and I feel a great concept for a crossover, however the joke lacks a proper punch and the cat's quest for the mice goes unresolved. Perhaps the cat (in a wile coyote montage fashion) continues to build dysfunctional orange rockets that end up delivering loads of slapstick. Eventually it becomes discouraged and sad. Walking home in an environment similar to planet wisp the KapuKapu notices a perfect rocket right in front of him (dramatic lighting or a spotlight with maybe an hallelujah or something would add effect). He sprints to it, does some happy dancing or something along with uplifting music. The music then cuts off and the rocket opens up it's three alien eyes... a pregnant pause.... AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Both of them scream at the same time; cut to static. If this is done correctly and the screams really take the audience by surprise, we'll definitely win a laugh.

The Sonic Adventure DX joke: It requires a lot of explanation to make sense really. It's also very long winded in the explanation making this a rather tedious short. I don't see how it could work unless some surprising visuals compliment the idea in an unrelated fashion. Also I feel the wording needs be more concise and comedic. It feels like a rant at the game as opposed to a surprising poke. Keep working on ideas though, you're getting there. But this short just doesn't hold water.

How about a joke that Phantasy Star is basically fantasy "IN SPACE!"?

Edit: Oh I just thought of another one:

Sonic: No copyright law in the universe is going to stop me!

Beat: That should be my line!

And here's another one For Phantasy Star Universe:

*camera hides the fact they are on a raft*
HUmar: Time to fight dark falz! Just like in Phantasy Star Online! Wheee! *runs off camera, sword raised*

FOnewm: Why are we on a raft then?" *camera reveals the raft* "Wait a second! That's just De Rol Le but reskinned!

*Dark Falz Form 2, FOnewm notices Dark Falz now looks like Dulk Fakis Form 2*

HUmar: It's totally just like Phantasy Star Online! Whee! *runs off camera, sword raised*

FOnewm: I'm starting to wonder if they were even trying...


Perhaps it's my unfamiliarity with phantasy star, but I don't get any of these. I'd like some more help critiquing those. I am very familiar with Sonic and Jet Set however and have no idea where your coming from with Beat saying the copyright line should be his. Jet Set isn't about copyright and patents. Remember that in the guide we mentioned that ideas should be well thought out and not jokes that took a few moments' thought.

The reference doesn't seem like an issue. But pretending it's a joke does.

Here's a little tip, pointing out such an incredibly mundane similarity between two things is not a joke. Do you find the fact that both world-ending scenarios begin in 72 hours particularly funny? Is pointing out the shared time limit really worth devoting a short to?

Imagine if you saw the following exchange on a TV-show:

Young Boy: How long until we go to the dentist, mom?

Mother: About twenty-two minutes, dear.

Young Boy: [bursts into laughter] OH MY GOD, THAT'S THE APPROXIMATE RUN TIME OF AN AVERAGE AMERICAN SITCOM! COMIC GENIUS, MOM! YOU'RE HILARIOUS!


This should illustrate why it doesn't work as a joke.

Well JSR is about tagging and actually running from the police, and the police part makes it all the more relevant but only when alongside something art-related such as tagging does it really work. I'm sure Beat's drawn some copyrighted stuff with spray paint before too(if only to spite the police).

Also maybe these will help:
PSO Dark Falz(Has THREE forms, might want to poke fun at the fact PSU's only has two): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gt1DWhQk2jk
De Rol Le Battle (PSU, It's exactly the same fight PSO however): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iESDUm_fyI
PSU Dark Falz Form 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYEHETBqVjs
Dulk Falkis Form 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4Zj_Wm1p4I
PSU Dark Falz Form 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e486CKeN8yw

I probably shouldn't have to explain that the joke is both that it's different, and that both forms are reskins of other bosses.

Also it should be noted that Dark Force from the main Phantasy Star series is NOT Dark Falz so they can't really use the "Dark Force always looks different" excuse, and even if they could there's still the fact Dark Falz is reskins of other bosses.

I swear, you are DELIBERATELY trying to criticize me in every way possible!
Don't you dare call me Sonicgay, OR ELSE...
I make half-decent Stickman animations. You might like them.
Oh, I also like Sonic, Mario, Powerpuff Girls, Sonic, Sonic, SpongeBob, and Sonic. Did I mention Sonic?

Incredibly well written idea for transition into sega shorts.
I still think this would be great if it started with the "RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE" line from Altered Beast.

Oh my Zeus, that's a beautiful idea.

I'll integrate it into the post. Everyone's free to throw character ideas and lines at me for it, so have help me complete it with the games I forgot!
You can find me on these sites too.

OK, then! I'm here and I've an idea!
This one is based off of Sonic 2 (Classic physics in general, to be precise). You know how you can get some pretty neat air after hitting this slope in Emerald Hill?

Well, what if Sonic landed badly off that? I can imagine that hurting...a lot. I'm planning on animating this myself, but I thought I'd post it here to see what you thought of it. Think there could be more to it?

I've started animating a short but do I have to be an animator to submit it?
I believe that the Sega shorts was an "all around" invitation to animators not part of the SP team.
So I believe you can submit without being "Animator" on the forum/team.
