The Egg Family (Fully Storyboarded Sonic Short Film)

Project Overview

We're making a fully storyboarded Sonic short film, and YOU could be in it!

ABOUT THE PROJECT:

Our mission is to create a Sonic short film in the style of those found on the official Sonic YouTube channel. The finished projected will be an animatic with voice acting (and potentially an original music score).


This short will be focusing on the "Egg Family" dynamic established in recent Sonic media, with Metal Sonic, Orbot, Cubot, and Sage being Eggman's "kids." Orbot and Cubot ruin Eggman's drilling operation, causing Eggman, fed up with the duo's failings, to seek out a way to replace them. It'll be totally family-friendly, so don't worry about us throwing swears in the full script.

The video linked above is a demonstration of what the final product will look like! It's a test boarding of a scene from the short; the blue border will be removed in the final release. If you like what you see, then consider auditioning to be a part of it!

AUDITION RULES:

  • Must be 18+ years old

  • Record at least two takes of each line (AA/BB/CC) with different deliveries

  • No background noise + clear audio quality

  • Type your Discord handle so we can contact you if you get the part

IF YOU ARE CASTED:

If you get a part, you will be expected to get in contact with us on Discord in order to do recording sessions. We will do a casual read-through of the script as a group, and then one-on-one sessions where we direct you for recording the final lines.


ABOUT THE CREATORS:

This short is being made by me, Rocket, and my friend Marloosha! Here's some background on us.

Rocket (that's me!) is a lifelong Sonic fan who wants to create fan works that push the characters and world into new directions. He has a small online platform thanks to his previous work on Scratch and YouTube. He co-wrote the script, will be voicing Orbot, and will potentially be composing the score. Find him here: https://www.youtube.com/@RocketDoesStuff

Marloosha is a lifelong artist with a passion for creative storytelling. She's not as familiar with the Sonic series, but is highly adaptable and loves working in any kind of world. She co-wrote the script and will be creating the animatic. Find her here: https://twitter.com/Hi_Marloosha

Dr. Eggman is the main character of the short. After his drilling operation is ruined by Orbot and Cubot, the doctor searches for a way to replace them; however, he may end up regretting this decision. His lines generally consist of shouting orders and complaining about Orbot and Cubot, but there will be more somber/reflective moments in the later half of the short.


We're looking for someone who can do a similar performance to Mike Pollock's, which can be referenced here: https://youtu.be/xAp7sNAZErQ


However, we're willing to hear any interpretation of the character! There will be around 54 lines for him if you're casted.

  • [excited at his plan coming together] "HA HA, excellent, and no Sonic in sight! Just a more few hours of drilling, and the minerals will be mine!"

  • [furious at Orbot and Cubot messing things up] "YOU TWO BUCKETHEADS CAN’T DO ANYTHING RIGHT! I’ve had it with your constant failings!"

  • [trying to justify his choice to himself, but it's not working] "Yeah… I did, didn’t I? And… that’s… good?"

Cubot is Eggman's assistant who constantly goofs off. He doesn't have the sharpest brain chip in the shed, which constantly gets him into trouble; however, this time, Eggman may have reached his last straw. Cubot's lines are generally comedic in nature; but, in the later half of the short, we need a more muted performance to reflect his change in attitude.


We're looking for someone who can do a similar performance to Wally Wingert's, which can be referenced here: https://youtu.be/VnLY5TpDANM


However, we're willing to hear any interpretation of the character! There will be around 35 lines for him if you're casted.


You're not required to apply a robotic filter for your lines; however, if you do, please also include the non-filter takes of each line.

Sage is Eggman's AI assistant/daughter that manages his computer system. She shares Eggman's frustrations with Orbot and Cubot, but from a "sassy sister" perspective. Sage's lines range from reading off computer data to bickering with Orbot and Cubot to comforting her father.


We're looking for someone who can do a similar performance to Ryan Bartley's, which can be referenced here: https://youtu.be/pahhXpfsVq0


However, we're willing to hear any interpretation of the character! There will be around 28 lines for her if you're casted.

  • [trying to comfort Eggman] "Father, I’m sorry about what happened today. It’s quite a shame Orbot and Cubot don’t match Metal and I’s operational skills. But, I suppose there’s no cure for incompetence…"

While the short can be finished without more storyboard artists, Marloosha would appreciate having help to speed up production! We would like people familiar with the storyboarding process that could take a few scenes; we will provide the script/audio for you to reference, and then you send the frames back to me so I can edit them into the final product. We're looking for quality about on par with the demo scene linked in the description; no need for anything super fancy!


We'll be open for communication during the entire process for questions and feedback. The final short will be around 10-15 minutes long, so we probably wouldn't assign a single artist more than 3 minutes worth of the short. Multiple people could be chosen as well, depending on the submissions we get.


You can "audition" with a demo reel or portfolio of your past work; bonus points for things featuring the characters in the short, or general Sonic fan stuff.
