Description
SONIC UNIVERSE Animated Adaptation Act 2 - Scourge: LOCK-DOWN================================================
WATCH THE VIDEO ================================================
Apologies in advance! I've experienced some unforeseen technical difficulties, post-premiere deadline, but at least it has been resolved now - lesson learnt for next time! Nevertheless I really appreciate your patience. Here are my thoughts that I'd like to share with you all...
This is it. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of the SONIC UNIVERSE fandom, a month long project in the making, this was something to be
treated with a lot of TLC (tender-loving-care) as a Sonic fan.
This video (one of the many successful 'animated adaptation initiatives' that I've produced so far) is probably the BEST I've ever done.
It was made for the fans, it's made for the creators, it's made for the team who helped me out and it's made for me.
I love comics and I love bringing them to life in this manner... It's so much fun and there is so much to learn from it.
This video details my ability to animate, my experience in directing an already existing story and presenting it through an innovative media initiative, it demonstrates my passion and ability to voice-act for entertainment, and finally, the ability to incorporate music, sfxs and voice-overs together in a professional manner.
Because of this achievement I am extremely proud of myself and I'm at the point of being very keen to making more animated adaptation videos in future to my most beloved comic & graphic novel series.
As you can see, I'm here to not muck around, I want to show you guys a new way of appreciating this already AWESOME Archie Publications comic series that is SONIC UNIVERSE - who knows, it may create something 'big' in the fandom one day.
Enjoy while it lasts! Once again I'm immensely proud of the team of voice-overs whom I've chosen and whom have contributed towards this project! Say what you must about our performances - whether it be good or bad - I will not for a second hesitate the fact that we did an EPIC job.
Thanks to all of those who are watching this and I look forward to doing more 'SONIC UNIVERSE arcs' in future. *thumbs up*
Kind regards,
Elson ‘Darkspeeds’ Wong

I have to say that you and your team did an excellent job on your guy's audio adaptation of this sonic universe series. I love how most of the voices you did actually match the characters of the comic. I hope to see the same passion you guy put in this show in the next one as well. Well I bid you all good luck!
p.s. is there any way I can get in on this? It would be a great learning experience to see what it takes to take on a project like this.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks dude! = )
Well I've already been offered all kinds of help ever since Act 2 was released! 
For the time being I'm going to take a break from working on the next SONIC UNIVERSE animated adaptation. When the time comes I'll announce if I need an extra hand on the project. 
The best thing for you to do is to make a start on another arc and doing something similar! I'd LOVE to see your do something with the EASTERN KINGDOM arc. *thumbs up*

Alright, I keep that in mind.
And about the EASTERN KINGDOM arc...well see...well see. ^^'

Amazing job Darkspeeds. Like how you took the liberty to edit the story to show scenes from other issues. It shows creativity and still keeps the main plot intact while not becoming just a total voice over of the last issue of the Scourge Arc. Seeing as this is what you're aiming for I'd say mission accomplished.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Mission accomplished indeed! ^_^ Thanks for the feedback Rally-the-Cheetah! It's nice to hear from you again!

I'll see it next month, I swear!

That video is a 100000% of excellent,
and Also Flying Frog's voice sounds like Quackerjack from DarkWing Duck

Heh, okay that was fun. Interesting project.
You picked very good voice overs too.
It can be a bit hectic tough, and confusing when some text balloons are on screen and others aren't.
That's the disadvantage of comics I guess.
But at least you set a good mood with the sound effects and what not.
Keep it up.

Heya Roger! Thanks man! It means alot to get a comment coming from an already animation/film directing expert.
I will keep it up no doubt and I hope to see more stuff from you too in the near future.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
heh,'expert'.
Well, an animator's job is never done. People are coming with torches and pitforks after me for not having finished a generations parody yet, and I'm sure you'll get your first "So when's act 3 coming out's" soon as well, so we have our work cut out for us eh?

Ha ha! Yeah I know what you mean!

Cool job with the voices there. Scourge certainly sounds like an anti-sonic to me. Most other fan voices for him try to differentiate him too much from his good counterpart. Znively sounds a bit too high pitched and not quite a Charlie Adler impression. Zobotnik sounds pretty dead on though. Adding in some flashbacks to previous issues was a nice touch. Simian sounds just as I'd expect. Not so much with Hawk, but I like how her turned out either way. Lynx sounds deeper than I expected, kind of reminds of of Liam O Brian's Gaara voice. Pretty cool when he beats that Kenshiro wannabe at one part. Seems you skipped over Maxx and St. Croix's part, but I'm okay with that. Like Psy doing the Joker style voice with Frog. As usual One Piece music in there is pretty cool and loving the action shots you added. : P

A big round of applause for all of your hard work Darkspeeds!!! & congratulations to all who have participated in the 2nd Act. I have enjoyed every minute listening to the amazing audio on my headphones. I did not notice any technical difficulties in the video. The end credits and even cliffhangers are epic & outstanding above and beyond. Greatest improvement yet!! & OMG I cannot wait for the 3rd Act of the "Babylon Rising." Best of luck for the future!!

You have such a talent with all of these videos and animation projects~ Absolutely incredible!

Good work once again Mr. Elson! ^^ You have done your fans proud once again X3

dude, you have no idea how epic this video was, and It was totally mind blowing *_*
At first when I noticed you had technical difficulties, I had to make a second tea cup, because the first one got cold of waiting XD
Anways, Great job as always Elson, I am looking forward to whatever you have in stock ;D!!
