Is it possible to remake a whole CGI movie in 6 months?

Source my mind

anyone who thinks it was a publicity stunt is a huge idiot. No studio would risk torpedoing their own movie with such a shitty trailer purely on the off-chance that it results in higher attention. There are movies that revel in bad attention, yes, but nobody is retarded enough to purposefully market the product in a bad way.

it is when you're not remaking the whole movie and instead are replacing 3D assets and touching up scenes to compensate for the changes.
or when it's still mostly live action so there's no "whole" about anything you fuckstick.

i hope they release a 'directors cut' with the original vision

obsessed autistic conspirationfag and samefag

he’s sitting in the passenger seat of a car for most of the movie. how hard is it to reanimate that?

Why

cringe kino

Aren't the toys for the movie based on the old desing? That fact alone kills the conspiracy theory.

Looks like a fucking basedjak

Yes. Most scenes you could just drag in the new model and keep the old animations and skeleton. There's only a handful where you might need to touch up something like Sonic interacting with a person.

I don't know much about CGI in movies but is it possible they made different models and fully animated scenes to use for focus testing?

no

Throw enough resources at a problem and anything is possible. They didn't need to reshoot any of the movie so all that was necessary was to replace the character model. Since the scene and lighting didn't need to be changed either it was just a case of re-rendering the CGI with the new Sonic, laborious but possible.

Do you people actually believe paramount execs playing 4D chess?
Haven't you see Bayformers? Or TMNT?
They're bunch of old people who didn't care about source materials

>yeah the ugly model was never on the plans bro

The rig already existed. What they had to do is create new textures.

Why are you so mad? People on this board have been saying this since the second trailer was released. Are you a newfag?

Marsden is relentlessly handsome.

its pretty easy. 3D animation is taking a model, rigging it, and then making it move. If you replaced that model with an updated version of it then you would still have all those movements saved, you would just need to adjust them a bit for camera angles and such with his new proportions, but it'd be pretty simple.

That'll be funny funny if they released the creepy rodent-cut

they didn't have to remake the whole movie. CGI is usually the last thing that is done in post-production, sometimes being finished weeks or even days before the premiere. When they drop the first trailer it's usually all the complete footage that there is.
The first trailer came out in April 2019 when the premiere date was November 2019. When the shitty trailer came out I guarantee you that they didn't have more than a few minutes of 100% complete footage.

Completely. his animations were already there, they just had to reanimate the face and use the new model.. same lightmapping and everything, not a lot of work

that would be pretty cool. clearly they had the full movie done with that model based on the original trailer

You can tell some of the actual movie and not just CG was changed. The start of the movie feels really rushed. Like they cut a bunch of scenes down to that vignette with Sonic's voice over.
And Sonic's CG looks shittier and shittier by the end of the movie.

according to them the only thing that had been finalized was the stuff in the trailer.

thats not really how production works though, you don't do it in chronological order.

>Let me just disregard all the promotional material and merchandise that were prepared, as well as the animators who confirmed they had to redo the design

You retards need to stop spewing this nonsense already.

>People on this board have been saying this since the second trailer was released.
People here say the dumbest shit all the time, it doesn't make it true.

dude, is that BABY SPEED?

I hope so, that they left all the toymakers with their hand full with the shitty sonic as a side effect of a marketing stun is hilarious.

>the only thing that had been finalized was the stuff in the trailer
well, as I said, that's how it usually works. >clearly they had the full movie done with that model based on the original trailer
that's not how filmmaking works. Do you honestly think they had a finished movie in April and just planned to sit on their asses until November?
all the CG they had other than the stuff in the trailer would be pre-vis footage that looked something like this:

Gotta go fast (formerly slow down)

This, a lot of it was swapping in a different sonic model and tweaking the animations/expressions. Most of the work like the lighting/overall animation has already been done.

>Being worked on by a woman
Mystery solved.

wtf

simple animations can reuse the skeleton, specially if they are focused on the low end of the rig (legs, sitting etc), things like standing and looking up to humans need to be reanimated

oh and THE EYES. You have to animate the eyes from scratch, too.

Why do they even need a real model for?

This.

even when you're replacing some character or object with a 100% CG model it's good to have a real-life reference.
Black Panther in The Winter Soldier was replaced with a 100% CG model but it looked super-realistic because they had a stuntman in a real suit on set, which made it easier

It was a publicity stunt

Certain scenes I think for a stand in.

Nobody would use a negative reaction like this as a publicity stunt. They were just smart enough to recognize they fucked up and redesigned the character unlike companies like Disney that keep telling their audience that they are wrong.

>The Winter Soldier
fuck, I meant Civil War - the scene where he fights Bucky

new coke

It's not a publicity stunt.
There's a scene in the movie where Sonic's freaking out because he has a bomb on his hand and can't get it off. Except, you know, the new Sonic has gloves that he could just take off, but the whole scene was built around the original gloveless model

No you fucking retard, they were working on the CGI at the time of filming and created the trailer with completed scenes before the trailer's release. While they were filming they used the shitty design model in pic related, and they made designs for toys and shit that needed to be scrapped as well.

They only had like 20% of the movie's CG done by the time they released that trailer. It probably cost a couple million more compared to what they were going to do originally but most of the CG work had yet to be completed

if that were true, why wouldn't they announce they had Tyson Hesse working on it from the beginning?

I'll never understand how Panther looked decent in Civil War but looked like melted shit in his own movie.

the redesign only cost additional $5 million. The initial budget was something like $80 million. The trailer footage was all they had 100% finished.

in Civil War they shot everything with an actual stuntman on location - so they had the perfect reference for the CG model. Also they were given enough time to do it properly.
in Black Panther they started working on the climactic fight scene in December - when the release date was in February. They had 6 weeks to do it from scratch, they shot it all on bluescreen and CG artists were given barely any time to do their job.
