SHADOW OF MYSELF | Shadow the Hedgehog Song feat. LongestSoloEver!

Подробнее о видео

So, 2024 was the Year of Shadow! Everyone’s favourite edgy hedgehog got a shiny new game and was featured in the Sonic 3 movie, but surely the highest honour of all is being the subject of a Stupendium music video! Just uh… it didn’t quite make it out in time for 2024, sorry buddy!

It’s a song about an edgelord of a hedgehog with a gun and a motorbike. It’s also a song about nostalgia and clinging to the past when facing an uncertain future. Themes that really resonated with me in my life as I get older, face new challenges, uncover my grandfather’s forgotten military space station and aim its orbital emerald-powered laser cannon at the moon.

In a first for the channel we actually filmed this video twice! In our rush to get this done in time for the release of the movie and the end of the Year of Shadow we filmed a video for this back in December. It was the same day we were also finalising the set for The North Pole Corporate Takeover, we were exhausted and we started at midnight. Predictably, upon reviewing the footage, it was clear that it wasn’t up to my standards and I made the difficult decision to scrap the whole video and start again after Christmas with more costumes, better lighting and a motorbike. (My uncle very kindly lent me one of his, he has like twelve of them.)

So whilst this is dropping later than hoped, it’s much better for it. It’s still a smaller video in the grand scale of Stupendium productions, as we’re simultaneously working on some very big projects coming soon... ish.

I also got the privilege of finally working with LongestSoloEver on a project, after having wanted to do so for the LongestTimeEver! As you can tell from his work here, he’s massively talented, so go and check out his channel if you’re not already familiar with his work. You’re in for a real treat.

Right, I gotta dash - CHAOS CONTROL!
