Why hey there, Roger here.
Making a Sega shorts? Too cool, love you guys. Sonic's awesome but Sega has a large legacy of other cool stuff.

Recorder dude told me there's still a lack of non-Sonic sketches for the Sega shorts, and as a Sega nerd I decided I'd jump into the fold to see if I can help out.

While I don't have an idea for a new sketch right now, there's been 4 random sketches I animated before.
If one of them seems suitable for the Sega shorts collection, I'll gladly re-draw and re-animate them from scratch and submit them (And I WILL redraw it because these things are 4 years old and I can barely stand to look at them now)

So, if I can waste 2 minutes of your time, I have put the 4 sketches together in one hidden video on Youtube for your critism:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l47leHfitw0&


1: Streets of rage

Concept: I just LOVE the fact the cops can deal with thugs by shooting napalm in the city streets.

What I'd change: Out of the 4, this is the one I'm still the happiest with. If I'd recreate it, I'd draw more mayem and damage caused by the fire. Car alarms going off, Axel's corpse still lying on the streets, a hole in the ground, that stuff.


2: Alexx Kidd

Concept: People DIE just because of playing rock paper scissors here?

What I'd change: This sketch is kind of tame. If I'd remake it, I'd create a more friendly atmosphere before the game starts and a more gruesome violent aftermath. Needs more contrast.


3: Crazy Taxi

Concept: Wouldn't it be funny if the passenger wasn't a adrenaline junkie but someone who's depressed or serious?

What I'd change: Arghh, draw better emotions for a start. Also replace random no name guy with some sort of Sega character, otherwise the audience would be confused why we're watching random guy during the Sega shorts. I don't know which Sega character would be funny? Shenmue's Ryu still sulking about his dad?


4: Virtua cop

Concept: Those wacky victims jumping in front of armed men.

What I'd change: I'd remove the Roger joke, since that'll be too ego centric from me in a group effort. Besides that, this is one of those sketches where the joke is really simplistic, so I should keep it short.
After all, the punchline isn't much more then "Oh man, those people are annoying in Virtua cop, aren't they?"


So, those are 4 options I propose I could re-do for this project.
If you want me to make up a whole new sketch from scratch instead, I'll start thinking of a new concept.

Those are all great! I would however suggest these 2 things: First, recruit a few voice actors (over in this page "http://sonicparadox.net/topic/612798/1/" is a list, I am one of the people on there but I am at bottom but just look it around) for the Alex Kidd and possibly the Virtua Cop shorts. Secondly, please make sure you make your drawings a little bit smoother.

Other than that, I think you can produce some great stuff! Good luck!
Here we go again!

These are good. I like the SEGA that pops up at the end of every short, but it felt unnecessary for the Crazy Taxi one.

Also I think it would be better if the depressed guy (whoever it ends up being) loses their picture when the taxi takes off instead of just letting it go randomly.

I like the Streets of Rages and Virtua Cop shorts; I say keep working on those. :)
The Alex Kidd short I don't think the joke is strong enough. The Crazy Taxi could possibly be funnier if Ryo(Shenmue) was the passenger, sad over the lost of his father.

No, Sonicyay, he's not the same one. The guy you're thinking of is Roger van der Weide.

Very funny.
This animation style in the video is exactly like those. He MUST be THAT Roger.

Roger van der Weide is my real name. Googleplus demanded I took that name for Youtube.
But Rogerregorroger is my SUPERHERO alterego..Or something.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, it's decided then.
I'll remake the Streets of Rage one, drop poor Alex Kidd, and figure out how to make the Crazy Taxi/ Virtua cop ones better.
Wait, am I allowed to do 3 shorts?

Hey, if The Wax did THE ENTIRETY OF VOLUME 7, I don't see why you wouldn't be allowed.
