Sonic Action Adventures (Stop-Motion Series)
Project Overview
ABOUT THE SERIES
Sonic Action Adventures is a brand new non-profit fan series where multiple stop motion animations featuring the Sonic The Hedgehog cast do all sorts of hilarious and wacky activities. Animators can submit their stop motion animation through the official S.A.A Discord server! Every animator who gets their stop motion animation featured in an episode will be credited at the end of the episode, as well as in the description below. Think of this series as a spiritual successor to Sonic Paradox's "Sonic Shorts", and "Sonic Seconds".
So you might be wondering then, "What's the point of auditioning for this project if I can send my animations on Discord?". Good question. What you're actually auditioning for is to be part of S.A.A. Productions!
INTRODUCING: S.A.A. PRODUCTIONS
A brand new team of animators and voice actors working together to make exclusive stop motion animated shorts for the Sonic Action Adventure series! That way, there's always something new to look forward to in every episode. Members of this team will also get special benefits. These benefits include, but not limited to: getting credited first before non members, guaranteed for their animation to be featured in an episode (as long as it follows the guidelines), exclusive roles on Discord, access to exclusive channels on Discord, and being able to promote two of their social media platforms in the description of each episode (YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, etc.).
What's expected from Stop Motion Animators:
- Animations must at least be 12 frames per second. However, it's recommended to use 24 FPS instead.
- The animation's scenery and background must look somewhat creative (ie not barren).
- Animations cannot be more than 45 seconds. However, you can produce more than one short, but no more than three. (Leaving you a max of 2 minutes and 15 seconds)
- Animations must be primarily focused on the Sonic The Hedgehog series.
- Use only voices of the official voice actors (if you plan to have speaking lines in your animation).
- All stop motion animations must be SFW. (No gore, extreme blood, etc.)
- No watermarks
- Audio must sound at the very least decent.
- Consistently meeting deadlines.
What's expected from Voice Actors:
- Sound at the very least decent.
- Minimal background noise.
- Be able to sound believable (stay in character).
- You are allowed to audition for multiple characters.
- Consistently meeting deadlines.
More information
You must be 13 years or older in order to submit your animation, audition as a voice actor, and/or apply as an animator. Discord will be the main use of communication.

Wrapping up the casting call!
Hey all! If you haven't noticed, I pushed back the deadline for one more day as I was really busy this week and haven't given myself proper time to check up on the auditions. Nevertheless, I'm quickly picking back up the pace! There are 4 roles left for me to cast, and maybe by the time you're reading this that number might have changed. That's all for now, thanks for reading! -
Regarding casting
Firstly I want to say thank you to all parties who were interested enough to audition. Just wanted to let you all know that I'll begin casting on August 5th through August 7th. I'll keep you guys updated if anything else comes up. If you have any questions regarding the project, DM me through casting call club or through discord (Janick Films#1285). Thanks again!

Say something you think would fit
Sonic The Hedgehog is Sega's most beloved mascot and a video game icon. He's the fastest thing alive with a huge attitude. His famous move, the spin dash, allows him to turn into a spiky ball that can go through metal. Sonic is also very fond of chili dogs and break dancing. No matter situation, he'll always be there to help out his friends and save his world from the evil clutches of Dr. Eggman.
(Happy/Relaxed) It sure is a nice day outside, don't you think Tails? I could spend all day here! Running through Green Hills has always been a favorite pastime of mine.
(Frustrated tone) What do you mean that the Master Emerald was stolen, again?! This is why Sega and the fans don't take you seriously anymore, knucklehead! So much for being the guardian of the Master Emerald.
(Annoyed tone) For the last time, I won't go on a date with you Amy! I have no time for that and I'm really not interested. Now can you please leave me alone for today. I'm trying to relax.
Tails is a two-tailed fox and Sonic's best friend! His tails allows him to fly in a helicopter style. He's also a genius when it comes to machines and technology, and knows a thing or two about planes! Despite being timid sometimes, he's not afraid to stand his ground when he needs to.
(Excited) Hey guys, look what I found! I was at the testing grounds, getting ready to try out my latest inventions, when all of a sudden I found this. It's a Chaos Emerald! Isn't that crazy?
(Frustrated) For the last time guys, the device will be ready when I say it's ready. You'll need to give me more time, I barely just started! Go find something else to do besides distracting me.
(Worried) Has anybody seen my screwdriver? I swear I left in the toolbox. How am I supposed to finish my latest gadgets now?
Knuckles the Echidna is guardian of the Master Emerald, and is the last of his kind. He takes his job seriously, and has trained his whole life. As a result of that training, he's really strong, is able to climb walls, dig underground, and is a great treasure hunter! He also has a bit of temper, and doesn't like being lied to.
(Relaxed) After all the trouble Sonic has caused me over the years, it's nice to be back on Angel Island. Yup, just me and the Master Emerald. With no threats in sight at all. Nothing interesting on the horizon...
(Frustrated) Stop asking if I can still glide or not! Just because I haven't done it recently doesn't mean I'm not able to. I can still climb walls, and uh punch...stuff.
(Mad) This is the final straw! You think you're better than me, huh?! Well put em up, let me show why I'm the last guardian of the Master Emerald. I haven't trained my whole life just be shown off by some nobody!
Amy Rose is a pink hedgehog who has self proclaimed herself as Sonic's number 1 fan and his girlfriend. Despite both not actually dating, they're still close friends. While she may sometimes find herself as the "damsel in distress", overtime she has been become more independent. Also, don't get on her bad side if you don't want to go face to face with her piko piko hammer.
Hey there! Have any of you guys seen Sonic? It isn't like him to not show up on our date.
Phew, all this running has made me tired. Note to self, I shouldn't carry my hammer with me everywhere I go.
(Mad) Hmph! If you think of hurting Sonic, you'll have to go through me!
Dr. Eggman, aka Dr. Robotnik, is an evil scientist who dreams of ruling the world with his own empire! Or was it ruling the world with an amusement park? It's not always clear. What is clear is that he's evil, with a side of goofiness. He has an army of robots and has built many spaceships. His number 1 nemesis is Sonic (along side with his friends), who always seem to find a way to beat him.
Finally, my latest machine is complete. This time for sure, I will be able to defeat Sonic and rule the world! Muhahahaha!
(Mad) Grrrr, you're a sorry excuse for a robot. You job was so easy! You have disappointed me for the last time. (Yells) Guards, take this defunct machine to the burn center.
(Relaxed) Oh boy, scrambled eggs! My favorite breakfast. Wait a second. Where's the ham? I always eat my eggs along side with ham...evil ham.
Want a small role? Something quick and easy? Well do I have a role for you! Just be yourself and try your best. You may audition with the lines provided to you, or submit your demo reel if you so wish.
(Happy) Did you hear what happend yesterday? It was crazy and unbelivable! What a time to be alive, wouldn't you say?
(Mad) Why didn't you tell me beforehand?! We're in this situation because of you! (Sarcasm) Thanks a lot.
(Sad or Sick, your choice) What do you need? Leave me alone, I'm not really feeling all that well today. Close the door when you exit.
