For this third entry in the Sonic saga, our teams were tasked with bringing to life the dynamic trio of Tails, Knuckles, and Sonic, as well as their mysterious new enemy: Shadow. From a sparking Test Track chamber to a giant, destructive black hole, these were clearly some next-level VFX. We also had the chance to work on the destruction of the Test Track Chamber, pulling everything in the environment toward the black hole created by Eggman (Jim Carrey) and Shadow (Keanu Reeves)—from small pebbles and leaves to an entire mountain.
