As per a new report, the Sonic the Hedgehog movie redesign took more work and resources than people may think. Further, evidently, it was Paramount Pictures who pushed for the more realistic, original design, regardless of realizing it would be dubious from the start. The word comes method for website Sonic Team Argentina, who apparently and recently interviewed Max Schneider, an animator associated with the movie. As per the animator, the procedure of the redesign was a five-month process, and started with chip away at the character’s face, and completed with his shoes. All things considered, Schneider claims there was no crunch or pressure on animators to work more than normal, and rather the group was since time is running short and sense of peace it required. Nonetheless, notwithstanding taking a great deal of time, the animator says it wasn’t over the top expensive, which is maybe why Paramount was alright giving the group the time it required.

The animator takes note of that it was Paramount that pushed for the first design, which it was confident in. While it realized it would be dubious, it figured it would be generally accepted, and that it was a good fit for the live-action elements of the film. Once more, Paramount knew there would be a backlash, however, it didn’t foresee the backlash being sufficiently large to warrant making any improvements.

“To modify everything took many months since a big part of the movie was already finished,” said Schneider. “And the process was basically to redesign the model, make a new rig and going back to animate everything with the character. Some things were rescued from the old animations, but others had to practically be animated again”, Max told us.

Obviously, the entirety of this ought to be taken with a grain of salt, and not on the grounds that the source is a smaller fan site, but since the interview needed to experience interpretation, and, as people may know when things experience interpretation it can skew things such that prompts inaccurate data.
