The Making of the End of Sonic Stop Motion Adventures - Documentary
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 พ.ค. 2024
- A full documentary dedicated to the creative process behind Episodes 26 and 27 of Sonic Stop Motion Adventures. Finishing this series was a milestone unlike any other to me thus far, so I thought it was only natural to give an in-depth look on what working on it was like.
I cover writing, shooting, editing, and the release of the Episodes themselves. In addition, I present the history of Bedlam's development and introduction as a character.
Thank you to everyone who has watched the show over the years. You have made this journey so special for me.
-----------------
As a personal experiment, I edited this documentary in 2.39:1 aspect ratio (also referred to as 2.40) compared to the usual 16:9 aspect ratio of the series. Doing so was a lot of fun, and thankfully TH-cam supports uploads in different aspect ratios.

A great big special THANK YOU to Nathaniel K Hearns for the thumbnail artwork!

This was a part of my childhood.. Thanks for that
Same
Floesion me to remember all the great memories
Yep.
We basically grew up with him.
Same
When I heard that inspirational speech near the end, I was speechless. We're all creators, and we can do things, and the more we can create, the more we can improve and find out how things work.
hi mskfan the best I like your videos
i subscribed
your 1 of my fovorite youtubers yay
I made 2 episodes on my channel with some inspiration in other stop animation/tv animation
Episode 1 was literally one of the first videos I ever watched when I discovered TH-cam. I’ve been following this series since I was seven years old, and now I’m eighteen.
Forget thanking us, I thank YOU for creating a massive part of my childhood. The amount joy I felt whenever I saw a new episode in my sub feed from when I knew what it is to the end of the show was spectacular. I’m so glad that this even happened and I will always remember it.
It’s because of you that I want to be a TH-camr and it’s because of your series that I’m currently working on my own Sonic fan project that I hope reaches this level.
Thank you so much for everything that you and your series has done for my life and I hope the end of it doesn’t mean the end of your time TH-cam.
You’re awesome, and keep on being you.
im still in my childhood!
I’m 12 and I have been watching him since ep 5
@@SonicandDucktalesProductions if my math adds up correctly this means you'd currently be about 14 or 15, and episode 5 was made about 13 or 14 years ago now, so you'd have been 2 or 3 years old at oldest. So somehow I doubt this.
@@The_AuraMaster fair enough pldest memory of watching these is when blaze first came
It's been 2 years since piplups last post.
2 years since the last actual piece of content uploaded to this channel...I grew up on this series. And I'll probably never forget it.
Whatever project you're pursuing man, whatever career path or decision, good luck. Thanks for giving me such a fire series to grow up on.
@Trey3n They seem to have just move on.
Yeah I think he's still active on Twitter since he has a post where he's at the sonic 2 movie picture board or something like that
Now 4.
Well now it have been 4 years
I think we all grew up with this I remember when you didn’t use sets or voice actors my first video of yours was that video you made with the shadow plush and then I found one of the stop motions
I sure did
Knowing that someone else spends an insane amount of time cropping characters from backgrounds is oddly validating. Also, I came here to pay my respects. Sonic stop motion channels are what made me want to animate when I was a kid. So thank you for your service.
Who knew Sonic Toast himself made an 11 year old become more Icon than him in just about a decade.
You're fucking EVERYWHERE XPOOL!
Thank you. For everything.
I think I speak for him when I say
Your welcome, for everything thing
Lol
Sorry, it’s not for me to say but idk XD
I usually hate documentaries. But I need to see this.
50:09 really hit home, drawing and stop motions were my two favourite things and I abandoned them out of fear of what other people might think of them, I think it’s time I start again, thank you Steven you always seem to say or do things that inspire me, that being the series or the life choices I make, you and your creations have had a profound impact on me and I’m sure many others.
This honestly got me so emotional. As someone who grew up with the show, I mean it when I say it inspired me, a passion project started by one person that was able to touch the lives of so many people is an incredible feat that I hope to live up to. You can rest easy knowing you've made everyone incredible. Love you Steven, stay strong ❤️
(The use of Black Parade at the end was genius btw, and actually kinda made me tear up)
Didn’t expect to see my own comment at 42:18, that was really sweet. Overall this was a really excellent documentary that I’ve been excited for since you announced it. It’s one thing to hear how you made the series in the commentaries but to see the process visually with some spectacular editing is something else altogether. And that inspiring ending speech really was great too.
Yes, I bet Shrek would care about this so much.
Damn, the amount of effort you put into those episodes is absolutely mind-blowing! Truly inspiring!
Piplup, Steven, whatever you would like us fans to call you, I just want to say thanks. Thanks for making such an awesome series. The ending of this video genuinely made me cry. I usually dont cry over YT vids but this one was special. You are awesome. You made part of my childhood great. Me and my brother would watch your vids all the time back in the early 2010's. He has since moved on from Sonic, but I have stuck around, and Im glad I did. Im glad I did because I got to experience this great series. You are a prime example of the greatness from the Sonic the Hedgehog Fandom. You took your own time to create something for people to watch and enjoy and asked for nothing back but for people to watch. We can all learn a thing or two from you man. Once again, thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Hey Piplupfan77, it's me one of the winners from the competition, and I just want to say Thank you. Thank you for building people's childhoods, thank you for inspiring others to do things that they think they can't do, thank you for bringing something new to the table of the sonic fanbase as a whole. You have effected peoples lives with your stories, the stories that you made from your own mind, it takes a lot of creativity to make such a long series for so many years. You've even inspired me to make my own sonic series, it may not be stop motion, but it still effects me as a whole since you've been such an great inspiration to me just like the original creator of sonic. Once again, all I have to say is 'Thank You'. -Just K&J
I know I’m 3 years late, but I just want to express how much I loved you videos. This was a greatest part of my childhood thank you Steven
Congrats man, the journey was a blast and you deserve all the kudos in the world. I wouldn’t ever forget the sense of community during those streams with AJ. Seeing the series as I grew is something that is really special. Thanks for all the time just watching your show Steven.
This channel is a core part of my childhood and will never be forgotten. I wish you the best in life with whatever your doing dude.
I know I said this after I watched the series finale, but I want to give you my sincere thank you Steven. After almost ten long years of making Sonic stop motion videos you have poured out your heart and soul into making this series. I will be completely honest I didn't know about your TH-cam channel or your series when it first started up until 2013 and I didn't start watching the series until one day in early 2018 I decided, "sure I'll take a look at it". So I did and I loved it instantly, it was such a good show from beginning to end you improved so much after all these years. I enjoyed watching every single second of your show and I seriously cannot wait for the season uploads to be on TH-cam. I'm so glad that you put so much time into making this project, I'm also glad you're able to rest easy for now. I hope you'll go far in life Steve and create something original. Thank you so much.
4 years ago I used to watch him on Sonic stop motion adventures this is was my childhood growing up if you ever read this just know you haven't been forgotten
I can’t imagine what a surreal feeling it must be as a stop motion animator to take the very last frame of such a huge project. It feels surreal even as a viewer remembering just watching this for fun when I was like 7, to coming back now to learn about the passion and creative process while I’m 17. Thanks, for being a great childhood memory of mine. :D
Tears are the only thing I could say. To think I've been watching you ever since I was 12 years old, coming home from school and watching SSMA while writing my own Sonic show is something I will never forget.
being able to understand your drive as well as your mission to not only entertain us but to share your ideas by finding "Your creative outlet" It's been an absolute HORNER to grow up watching this show that now has a huge impact on my life.
Thank you Steven for not only giving us something to look forward to but to giving us such an amazing childhood, even in the darkest of times this show was the light that lifted me out of the darkness.
Thank you for creating this AMAZING show, and I hope to see you return in the future.
I even cant begin to describe my feelings after watching this video. This very thing is what inspired me to create animations, any type of animation wether its stop motion or cartoon. This silly thing that cost me so much of my money to buy jazzware figures (i live in a 3rd world country and HARDLY sell any sonic goodies here) just to bring my ideas to life. I really cant put to words how this is so important to me as an aspiring creator, and as a person. Thanks steven.
This was the last comment he hearted I believe
Not gonna lie I shed some manly tears watching this. I've been watching since the 1st episode with my older sister when I was 5 years old. You inspired me to draw sonic characters when I was little. I'm glad I was one of the many to watch this series, wait for new episodes, and just enjoy the episodes unfold. Thank you.
"If you ever get that..."itch" you know where we are." Unknown
If you ever feel like doing this again...we'll gladly watch until then....a major part of my childhood......has ended.
Bro my childhood!!!!! Your the man! Thanks for all the work you put in man. Hope your doing everything you ever dreamed. I know you inspired my brother and I to do so.
You are such an inspiration. Your work is amazing! It’s really motivated me to keep working on my own stop motions. I haven’t been watching your very long ,only have watched it twice, once like 3 years ago and once again now. Despite that, your show was always in the back of my mind, and I would find myself randomly remembering scenes and laughing cuz of the humor, or just remembering how awesome the scenes were. Both times when I’ve finished the series I’ve felt sad, knowing it doesn’t continue, but also happy, knowing that I can just go back and watch it and learn things about animating even if it isn’t through a tutorial. It was really cool watching this and sorta finally getting that tutorial that I had been waiting for. And the ending of this video was amazing! I genuinely felt tears coming up as I watched it, seeing someone be so passionate about something. I’m planning to make my own (not quite as long) sonic series so I will definitely re watch this to find inspiration and have something to watch while creating. Thank you for putting the effort and time into making this, and I hope your doing well!
I just have to say thank you for everything, my love for sonic grew with this channel and I was around 10 when I first saw your videos and now I’m 17(gonna be 18 soon) thank you for making my childhood great, hope you have a great life my dearest friend.
Most people who make things like this never really finish, but I'm glad you did.
It’s been four years since he has posted I hope you are living a long and happy life.
Ive watched this since i was six. Your amazing. This is amazing. You pit so much time and effort in your work. Just for us! Thank You for making these.
This series inspired me to do my own thing, and what I've been doing for 3 Years now... Thank you for this amazing series!
It's crazy yet commendable how much work you put into those last few episodes. I got super lazy just thinking about all the editing you talked about. This series, along with SupeSonicBoom's videos were apart of my childhood, and is what inspired me to make my own stop motions at the age of 13. I hope the new generation can watch this doc and be encouraged to continue this craft.
This is my childhood you got me into stop motion thanks for the amazing child hood
wow what a roller coster the last 9 years has been. this show is my childhood and is very important to me. this isnt just a story or a little hobbie this is the art of film and the love thaat comes with it. this show will forever be a moment in my life and something i will never forget - thank you steven
Holy shit I finally found it again, bro you were my childhood thank you!
Thanks for making these videos, and thanks for being part of my childhood bro. See you soon to one of my best childhood TH-camrs, you are in my top 10, and I’ve seen a lot but they didn’t make a lot of masterpieces like this, thanks for that. You deserve this 👑
this is literally my childhood bro. you inspired me to make my own stop motion sonic videos when i was little. though they never went anywhere watching this back in 2022 at 18 years old really brings a tear to my eye. i came back to this channel because i just recently started collecting sonic mini figures again to relive my childhood and its so nostalgic seeing all these figures i used to have ALL OF THEM. This channel was literally beautiful bro thank you for the memories 🙏🏽🙏🏽
End of an era
Love the thumbnail dude mad respect
Bro I came back cuz I remembered this this made my childhood thx for making my childhood a little better
I started watching this show the *moment* I got my first phone. I remember sitting in my room watching your videos in awe and admiration. You built who I am as a person, and I wanna thank you for that. It’s been 3 years now, and it’s coming up on 11 years since the first episode came out, and during that time you’ve inspired me to pursue art as a major and begin script writing. So, thanks man. It really does mean a lot
Its been a long time ,long time thank you for being apart of my childhood
Your stop motion to this day is still amazing! I wish you the best of luck on your future!
Thanks for this amazing documentary Steven! Its so stoked to see the insane effort going into the last 2 episodes behind the camera. I'm really happy you never gave up and even let others know why we're all creators and giving us these awesome inspirational quotes. As always the series has been an awesome ride and I can't wait for any future projects or even videos you have for us in store. Once again, thank you and have a good one!
This is one of the best sonic stop motion series I ever watch. Ever since I watched a few episodes I started watching them all and been waiting for more episodes when they came out. I miss this series it was a very good one
This was my childhood I started watching your videos Back at 2010 you deserve to rest now thank you for everything it’s a shame that the series has come to an end but........ Most of your childhood won’t last long May God Bless Your Soul and have Nice peaceful life 🙂
This is one of the many first things I watched on TH-cam thc man you and bythewayisay inspired me to wanna make stop motion to thanks bro for making lots of childhoods
I knew it, I knew Tails Channel was the main villain from the start!
All jokes aside, thank you for the memories you gave us, the many laughs and the many days you made us sleep in while we were happy.
I, and I think I speak for everyone here, thank you for everything, and I sincerely hope the best for your future.
DUDE THIS IS AMAZING!!Thank you 4 showing us this! Honestly I would NOT have the patience for each frame to be captured. CONGRATS 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
After that ending speech I feel like taking a good cry. Out of joy. All the joy you've given me and countless others through a hobby from your childhood. I could pour paragraph upon paragraph at you as to why this series is great like I have before, but now I just want to say thanks. For everything. Hopefully we'll cross paths again. See you soon man, godspeed
I found this show on episode 20 and loved the excitement of finding out you posted another episode this is one of the best series’s on TH-cam
This show was the best sonic show we've gotten. Thanks for making the coolest Sonic fan show ever!!!
God... what a fantastic video to end off. It gave a lot of tips and tricks that not only were helpful for you, but many others who want to do this type of stuff. But the end has got to be the best part. So inspiring and full of heart, it may have sounded cliché, but it was the spirit which made it 100x more meaningful.
I wanna say thank you so much for doing this entire series, this is pretty much my first time putting a comment here since I never know what to say xP
I remember starting off a few episodes in (yes, the very first) this was when I loved watching stop motion animations and tried to watch as much as possible. Sadly, I kinda forgot about it because school was coming more an more into my life, it was getting stressful too. It was until I found a newer video popped up and memories came back to me, except it kept up with how awesome I always thought these shows were because of your growing skills with stop motion!
Ever since that, I always watched any new episodes that came out or even older ones to keep myself occupied. Im so happy to hear that you came over hard obstacles that came your way as well as learning from them! And I will keep in mind that message at the end of this video.
Thank you so much for going all this way to create such a great series, I hope the best coming your way from now on :)
Looking back at this series I am glad you made it. It help me when I was sad and or sick of every other youtubers that I watched. Thanks Steven
Damn, I remember this series, it always had a special place in my heart. It’s sad to see it end, but I’m also happy you stuck to this amazing series for so long. I’m excited to see what you make next. Keep up the fantastic work!!!
The last speech almost made me cry and filled me with determination! Thank you so much for this awesome series!!! You inspire me :)
That creator speech at the end I think personally made me have a spark of inspiration to keep on going with my creative path, and for that, i want to thank you Steven, for all the years of entertainment since I was 11 and sitting in my room watching episode 18 for the first time and thinking, "I could do that". Which let to my love of animation and storytelling to this day :)
Thank you for memorable years of my childhood even though your series has ended when fans like us come back to this channel and watch your past videos just know this and yourself will never be forgotten and with I think I speak for all of us when I saw thank you so much for this series
Thank you Steven.
I don't usually comment on videos, but this is a special occasion. I grew up on old sonic stop motion videos back when I was a small lad. I even started to make my own stop motions( I had a 3ds at the time). They weren't that good.
I'm both sad that the series is over and happy that it happened in the first place. You were and are an inspiration to me. Now that I finished this video, I can say that you inspired me.
Once again, thank you for sonic stop motion adventures and for the memories.
This made me happy
Thank you for this series and thank you for being so passionate
I haven't been with this series long, but I love it. It's amazing to see your improvements in the series. Even though sonic stop motion adventures is over, there is always room for more projects!
Gosh, this documentary was absolutely astonishing! So much time, ambition, talent, and passion go into this to make something so absolutely amazing for both yourself and that fans like me! I was entertained by every single bit of this and it makes me wanna see what else you could do with this amazing talent of yours.
Also, the words you gave out at the end had me in goosebumps. It honestly motivates me to wanting to draw art more as I haven't been touching this hobby of mine in awhile and it's honestly saddening. I'll keep trying to push forward and do my best though, and I'm sure I'll be back on the art grind again!
Can’t believe this man I spent a while looking for your channel I used to watch you all the time sucks to know it came to an end this will always be apart of my childhood
You have done loads of work for the last episodes and just seeing the many things you did to make the two episodes was incredible. I've actually learned more things than I thought I would today. One was seeing you from beginning to end of creating sonic stop motion adventures. ( Geez at 13! Having better ideas than me 😂) The second thing was the inspiring message you putted out towards the end. I'm very happy you made this documentary. Thank you so much for giving something special in my childhood💖 I hope you have an awesome day and An awesome life
i remember watching this channel way back in 2013. a couple days ago i decided to come back just to see if it was even still on yt. i was so happy to see it still is. this show was awesome and it's been super nostalgic to watch parts of it again. congrats on the series end dude!
I really admire your patience with doing all of this, seriously a true creator! Wonderful work on the stop motion series you created for the Sonic fanbase, we really appreciate it
This gave me the inspiration I needed to not let my creativity down. All I can say, is that looking at this "silly" show and the success it brought you, I keep thinking "This man deserves every bit of what he has and maybe even more" and I get super inspired. Thank you
I love this series man I can’t wait to see what next for you
This popped back up on my recommended so I decided to re watch and leave a comment with frontiers coming out in about a week I want to thank you for getting me into sonic your stuff is probably one of the first sonic things I've ever seen so thank you for making this series and I hope you are doing well
This gives me motivation to keep going everytime. Its been a long time and i always come back to this video just to know that if i have a dream its never to late to pursue it. Thank you. For everything. For shaping my childhood. And making me a better person today
I'm sorry it took me so long but.. damn Steven. I've gotta say that video of you shooting the last frame made me emotional. It really is a metaphor for how the things we do in our process that feel small can snowball into landmarks in our lives. As well, I think I had a lot of questions answered and a ton of surprises with your editing process especially! From the sound to the images, nothing is untouched and I'm in awe again of how the little touches stack up from what you've learned over the years. Most of all, you're right in that everyone who makes a start is already a creator, and those are words more people need to hear. I'm really happy that you were able to realize what you envisioned for SSMA *and* that it was able to let you reach into yourself and see a way forth from it into what I hope is your next creative stage. It's a real achievement to tie the bow neatly and we're real proud. For sure, people won't forget the mark you've made on TH-cam and the Sonic community, and with this project, much of it is laid bare for future admirers to take notes. Thank you.
Y’know. This whole channel was my childhood and I loved it, I came back to see what was up. Thank you for making my childhood more entertaining!
Yo bro I just want to thank you so much for making up my childhood, it made me so happy when I was down. Kinda feel bad for rain checking it for a while, but I am glad the ending was really good including the final fights. Keep it up, can't wait to see what else you have in store.
This is amazing. I've always had a huge appreciation for this kind of work.
Dude i watched this whilst animating a sonic pixel thing i was starting to do and when the end rolled around that hit straight home for me and i dont think i could repay you for the hours of entertainment or ideas youve given me but i think i dont have to even though i want to, i dont have to i could just do my part and be as inspiring you were to me and others me, and a lot of other creators, to a whole new generation of people thanks for the years of entertainment and anticipation mate we all owe you big time
dude this show was my childhood man i would just like to thank you for everything every single episode inspiring me more and more and once again thank you.
i stumbled across this out of the blue and this has really compelled me to watch your series! love the amount of work and history in your projects
This series was the best one yet and finale was great to see, May this be the series that will live on forever
Thank you for making this. I can’t explain how much of my childhood was consumed by watching your content
ya know you are the best content creator ive ever seen your work made a series that made rough time in my life easier .you have inspired me to create a stopmotion seris myself you made a series that made me love these characters more than ever . i hope you are happy doing what you are doing
I'm not a sonic fan but this means a lot to me I remember watching this all the time after school.
This was the most important part of my childhood
Thank you for giving me a lot of hours of fun you earned my respect
What an amazing video, not only is it extremely nostalgic but you learn a lot of thigs from watching this. I always come back to this thing every now and then.
Hearing that Hyper Sonic wasn't a separate figure was astonishing; it's almost hard to believe how much effort went into even one episode. The amount of effort that you put into this series is simply breathtaking, and I'm glad that this was a part of my childhood.
Just, well done.
And thank you. Maybe I'll get started on some ideas I've had.
The feels. My childhood fading away. Rip cobanermani, Smosh and we'll, you.
Thaks for 27 silly funny heartfelt and just amazing episodes of SSMA. That speach at the end was just great! :)
It's honestly crazy that you started in 2009. I remember seeing your videos when growing up. Man I feel like my childhood honestly is wrapping up this semester in so many ways haha
Thank you so much for this series. These were videos I watched throughout my childhood. Cya
Thank you for this series. This and sonic shorts where what I first watched on youtube.
Thank you for not giving up on the project. It turned out amazing.
"Keep dreaming, keep doing, keep your head up and keep on." Such touching, inspirational words of wisdom. Thank you, Steven, for being part of my life and bringing SSMA into my life (plus childhood). You ARE a fantastic creator, never stop bro!
I love re watching the series and re experiencing my childhood, Thank You for the best life
Man when i was 6 i was watching your videos i'm 14 now and this feels so weird but u were my entire childhood so thank you so much
You worked really hard on this serious I grew up watching I’m happy to see how your work turned out I look forward to seeing future productions from you
This series was a big part of my childhood thank you
Big Props to you big guy! Glad the series was a hit 👍🏽
All of this is my childhood i can't believe its gone now. Hope whoever starts watching this enjoys it. Thx for the laughs and fun.
@Jahmir Palmer I do belive its because he couldn't do it anymore
Even in 2023 the show is amazing 🤩 and this is my Top #1 favorite stop motion TH-camr
You Were The Show I Saw I My Early Stages Of Being A Sonic Fan, I will Miss This Series , I Want This To Return
