Naoto Ohshima Shares Sonic Adventure Story Boards

this is really neat. he is credited as the CG movie producer and also as the editor for it too

 

That Egg Carrier design kind of reminds me of the aircraft shown at the end of AIZ2:

Which I believe it's generally assumed to be Flying Battery?

Flying Battery is supposed to be a blimp or zeppelin. Maybe so was the Egg Carrier early in development?

It even looks kinda like one in the above concept art:

 

Huh, is that Ohshima drawing of Uekawa Sonic on the third set of pictures?

 

Gamma is very interesting to see in Ohshima's style, rendered down to basic shapes while still closely resembling him.

 

Peak storyboard for a peak opening movie.

 

I remembered that the Autodemo has differences from the game's final intro render. The most noticeable ones being:
- Tails has a different facial expression and body angle

- Gamma is missing his lettering


I'd argue these match the storyboards more literally (especially given that Gamma's shot in the storyboard lacks his numbering), but were changed to look better/be more consistent.
