I think this is even harder than regular acting with a set, costumes, make-up, and environmental stuff. This is some serious advanced acting because you've got seriously nothing but yourself and your co-workers to work with. I'm in awe right now. ❤️
It’s tougher coz u don’t have the actual environment or the setting to create that emotion and then translate that into ur character and acting .So this is great work as they have to imagine and visualise the setting to produce the performance.
@@azrazukrina2928 think it's like a standard pose that they do at the end of the scene to give the animators a reference point to work from when they start using the motion capture data.
Yeah and even better, i mean, they are not even in a real environment (like those old buildings, woods, streets, etc) but they can pretend like they're really in that place & condition.
@@audryan27 Thats fair, but then again most actions movies are now Just a greenspace So they kinda miss out, because this is also acting, and some good ass acting from this cast
I totally forgot that the first game didn't use facial tracking live. The animators had to do all that by hand. The next game is gonna have SUCH great facial features!
@@r3zuri Well, for Part II the motion capture technology has improved to the point where they can do live facial tracking. The animators' work is still monumentally impressive though.
Seeing "Sarah", crying at the scene around 11:20 was really powerful, I can only imagine what she had to think of to bring forth those emotions, same with Troy.
That scene was brutal. The talent both of them have to portray all the emotions of something like that is immense. Props to them and director who made them reshoot for hours to achieve the end result ❤
Sarah’s actress keeps crying even in the T pose in, that’s such good acting, I mean, these actors deserve some pretty good credit, everybody in the crew worked their asses off to make this game such a great masterpiece that even everyone’s desperate to play the sequel.

same! I love how when she says "tell them that ellie" it looks like shes warming up to David but as she says "is the little girl that broke your fucking finger" we know what a badass she is lol
It's both great and tough to see Annie Wersching as Tess in the game here, a couple of days out from her losing her battle with cancer. Thanks for her contribution to games and television. Rest in peace.
Ellie is probably my favorite character of all time. She’s so strong, but still allows her self to be vulnerable. She fights like it’s her last. And will doing anything for the ones she loves. Idk but I just really admire her for that.
m o m o r i n g 。 give her a break man. By the end of the game she was depressed, not eating, clearly had ptsd and then Tommy came and made her feel guilty for letting Abby get away. I honestly wouldn’t do any different.
m o m o r i n g 。 really i think ellie had to leave them in order to do what she needed to get closure. And if she hadnt, she would have never moved on and wouldnt have properly been there for dina and jj. Sometimes whats best for yourself isnt whats best for others. And thats ok. I believe though once ellie had her shot with abby and let her go, that she returned to jackson to make things right
Hey It's Me uhh this game is widely regarded as the best game every made and they definitely get the recognition they deserve with awards and other praises
It actually took Joel's actor days to get that scene correct (the one where sara died), he said he even came home and cried because of how tired he was,
That`s because they are using the Stanislavski acting method which teaches actors to become their characters, that`s why they are so good. They are not just making this faces for fun.

You can check the RETRO REPLAY channel. There is a series of Last Of Us definitive playthrough. Both Troy and Hana were reliving the scene again and pretty much were crying. They talk about making this game a lot in the videos.
Yeah, that moment got me too. Even after the director called cut for that scene, you see both Hannah (Sarah) and Troy (Joel) still crying. Such a great moment. Naughty Dog really went all out with storytelling, directing and acting in this game!
yeah it's crazy how people can really get into character like that. Joel's actor looked fine in the shot where they were t-posing but Sarah's actress was still almost sobbing. I crack up every time XD
In voice acting and/or motion-cap work, when it comes to tragic, sad scenes, the actors typically think of the saddest, darkest memory to get them emotional and then the portrayal of the actual scene is what sets them off. You can clearly tell Sarah’s actress was distraught, but you can see Troy Baker in very deep thought…

It's such a shame that performances like this aren't acknowledged by major award studios. If anything this level of acting is significantly more challenging than being on a set. The level of imagination these actors need to try and envision being in these situations is beyond compression. So glad these actors got a time to shine in the TV show.
Troy Baker doing Sarah's death scene is a work of art. The man went all out. It feels wasted that we can't fully see his emotions in the final product (we see the animated version) but it was worth it for the game. I would have a blood hard time getting into character with those suits on, let alone going that far. Bravo.
@ken cheng Neil Druckman (director) told Troy Baker (Joel) before rolling the cameras that during that scene specifically, "Whatever happens, keep going with it." They surprised Troy by telling the actress who played Marlene to sing the scene like in a broadway play.
Bhiner1029 this was an early script from around 2010, and was Troy’s audition for Joel, so its was probably a really rough script, so a good 50% of it probably got changed, Fun fact, just five minutes before this video was recorded, Ashley almost got in a real fight with the previous person who auditioned for Joel because he pushed her flat on her ass during the scene. In her words, “And I was like, ‘Fucking forget the scene, I’m gonna fight this motherfucker’”
Originally their relationship was gonna be different. Tess would be the main villain because Joel abandons her to save ellie. I like what they changed it to.
11:57 I watched the documentary and Troy (Joel's voice) said that it took them 9+4 additional retakes to get to that scene... Props to the actor & director!
Honestly it makes me so emotional watching the creation of this game. It certainly is a masterpiece. The talent of everyone who created this and the actors. Being in a pretty much bare room with hardly any or no props and be able to still create that atmosphere and act in that environment is incredible!! Makes you appreciate the game so much more knowing the amount of love and dedication that went into it.
Neill made them do it another 4 times after doing it for the first time and the first time it wasnt actually acting during sarahs death they actually cried and neill made them go through it four more times
@@TheWhiteCrow22 right?! i wish you got that ending as a reward for playing it on hard difficulty or something. fully animated and everything. its so good!! haha
@@kathrine7498 Ashley wasn't singing in the scene they referred to, and Ashley had to take singing lessons to sing WORSE. Her singing voice was to clean for Ellie, so they got a vocal coach to make her sing "worse" to fit the role better.
@@ludwigvancornwall3063 Well yes and that`s it`s name. This is the prevalent one made by a russian person 150 years ago. There is one more made by an american whose name I forgot, but his is basically a copy of the Stanislavski system.
The scene where Troy acts out the death scene of Joel's daughter... What's required to do an performance like this on a emotional and convincing level, while 'doing' your job as well... Serious skills! I'm actually tearing up just thinking about it!
Your definitely right! The scream Joel's daughter does in the beginning made me cry. It honestly doesn't feel like acting. It just feels like raw emotions. This game is honestly the best thing I have ever seen in my life. It's made so well and the actors are incredible
Lee Everett CazMatazz when animators and modellers create a model for a character, they create it in a “T-Pose”. This is the default shape of the model, without any animation. At the beginning and end of a scene, Mocap actors have to stand in the same T-Pose as their character’s unanimated models, so that the model can calibrate to them (I,E - Ellie’s arm is the same place as Ashley’s arm). At the end, they T-Pose again, which means the model starts in the same place as it finishes, just like hand crafted animation. It’s also sometimes called the “Bind pose”, as the model ‘binds’ to the actor’s body.
Damn, that was so deep I think naughty dog should’ve put this scene in the last of us, I think they wanted joel as a strong character, but THIS special scene I think that it is the only that should’ve remained in the game, it would’ve shown that joel also has feelings, and that losing a loved one is something terrible...
7:45 The pushing part and the rest after it until Tommy storms in was completely improvised. If a director decides to include improvised acting, you deserve a Oscar. Especially with Neil Druckmann. And the 11:07 part, they shot that for 6 hours straight, AND had to re-do it 2 weeks later.
Boy I am glad that a bought this game years ago. My friend reccomended it to me I said nah I think its just a typical post apocalyptic surival game. Boy I was wrong it's like reading a book and watching a movie at the same time . The first scene that Joel lost his daughter broke me and I knew that this game was special.
But yeah "it's like reading a book and watching a movie at the same time." Is probably the best analogy for this game I've ever heard. I'm probably gonna steal it just so you know...
11:34 sarah's actress is crying and joel's actor i think was too..you can see it on his face..i know the story is very touching but i really didn't expect this..making a game is not all fun..

Then for you saying it`s not fun, it`s true that it hurts you as you actually feel it( I`ve acted being angry and I was shaking for a minute after I stopped acting), and there is a lot more, but in the end it is very interesting.
dope that Merle Dandridge plays Marlene in both the game and the show. and that Ashley Johnson ended up playing Ellie’s mother in the show. Ugh so good
I wish I could thank these actors personally for giving me the greatest video game experience in my lifetime. Im not sure if even HBO can out do it, but I'm gonna watch.
I just want to say that this footage was put together well, I dont think ive ever seen bts stuff compiled so well, congrats to the editor/editing team.
Mocap is the wildest thing I’ve ever seen. It’s the most gut-wrenching scene about loss and grief where the actors are suffering for the scene and then the director calls “cut” and they all have to sadly T-pose. Out of context it’s wild to witness.
"And I won't let you die! Your brain...is worth more.... ALIIIIIIVEEEEEEE!!!!!" I needed to laugh that hard. Man that was the best laugh I've had in awhile
Thank you for uploading this! :-) The whole game movie is filmed in that studio. It's amazing what these actors do with almost nothing around, but with the scenes in their minds. These actors do a great job. A terrific job! If I could, I would award them an Oscar! :-)
@@DeadGhost307 so you think because he called it t pose . Which is what its called. Ypu automatically think hes talking about fortnite? You need a brain stem my friend
Being an actor in a full set with costumes and everything else is one thing. But this is a completely different environment they have to work in, and they do it so well! They all are very talented actors!
Ashley’s voice is the best voice I’ve ever heard. It’s so different and unique. Couldn’t have picked a better Ellie
Yeah. Joel he does not look like he can physically produce that voice out of his mouth.

Ashley and Troy are so damn talented. TLOU has to be one of the greatest games every created, and this video just cements that.
11:57 I watched the documentary and Troy (Joel's voice) said that it took them 9+4 additional retakes to get to that scene... Props to the actor & director!
could you provide the link, please?
@@RubbenKant pretty sure it’s on this channel
the video games scene is way better than the movie scene
@@linabenamar1715 agreed
11:32 when they're t-posing after Sarah's death and Sarah's actress is still crying and Troy is still recovering from the scene... So friggin intense.
11:32 Damn Sara that's some real good acting.
Why am I laughing at this?
why was she crying like that lol?
@@Marco-lr6yd because it was an emotional scene..
@@Marco-lr6yd she was dying
@@Marco-lr6yd in a interview she said she thought of her grandpa dying
Honestly it makes me so emotional watching the creation of this game. It certainly is a masterpiece. The talent of everyone who created this and the actors. Being in a pretty much bare room with hardly any or no props and be able to still create that atmosphere and act in that environment is incredible!! Makes you appreciate the game so much more knowing the amount of love and dedication that went into it.
16:30 so this is the woman responsible for my deafness
This is even more scarier to watch the behind the scenes vs the actual video game lmao
Clicker noises were made by her? Wtf
I thought they straight up make the clicker noise. I can kinda do the clicker noise so I thought it wasn’t that hard to do it.
The part where Sarah dies gets me every time. Seeing the acting was incredible, they really got into it.
She was actually crying that's why
And Ashley was really crying while Abby was killing Joel
Really hope they will upload a behind the scenes form the last of us 2
I remember reading someone else's comment that said "Only time Joel cried was when his daughter died and when Ellie will try to forgive him".
Neill made them do it another 4 times after doing it for the first time and the first time it wasnt actually acting during sarahs death they actually cried and neill made them go through it four more times
11:33 when the scene is over and she’s still crying. So powerful!!
Ikr 😭
Rest in Peace Tess... Annie Wersching, you were a phenomenal woman!
What?? Annie wrsching is dead??
@@ihaveliceasfriends yeah she died last year
21:50 The staff : Try not to laugh challenge
They really should have saved that for a secret ending or for end credits.
@@TheWhiteCrow22 right?! i wish you got that ending as a reward for playing it on hard difficulty or something. fully animated and everything. its so good!! haha
The musical that we deserve
they sung good tho
hy
11:08 to 12:24 is such a powerful scene. you can see how powerful the emotional connection is from the actors to the characters
20:39 they both sing really good as well.
Joel uhh I mean Troy Baker actually have a singer skills
Ashley isn't she was taking singing lessons
@@kathrine7498 Ashley wasn't singing in the scene they referred to, and Ashley had to take singing lessons to sing WORSE. Her singing voice was to clean for Ellie, so they got a vocal coach to make her sing "worse" to fit the role better.
Wait why do they have them sing
@@jacobapplebaum7206 thought the same, whats that thing
This is truly a work of art. The amount of dedication to build this world is insane. Love to see the background 🥰
16:29 me tryna convince my gym teacher that I have asthma so I don't have to run
‘Wave ‘ BRUHHH i have asthma and i found this very HILARIOUS
‘Wave ‘ yeah it is i’m laughing so hard rn
@‘Wave ‘ pretty much alone there
Me who actually has asthma: 16:55
sht bro. right LMAO
11:33 She Was ACTUALLY Crying Because Of That Death Scene
Ik. The feels 😟
I cry everytime I watch that scene for so many times now.
That`s the Stanislavski acting method.
It’s just acting.
@@ludwigvancornwall3063 Well yes and that`s it`s name. This is the prevalent one made by a russian person 150 years ago. There is one more made by an american whose name I forgot, but his is basically a copy of the Stanislavski system.
Normal actors I give credit to.
But MoCap game actors with literally 0 surroundings and pretty much nothing to go of off deserve so much respect
The scene where Troy acts out the death scene of Joel's daughter...
What's required to do an performance like this on a emotional and convincing level, while 'doing' your job as well...
Serious skills! I'm actually tearing up just thinking about it!
Your definitely right! The scream Joel's daughter does in the beginning made me cry. It honestly doesn't feel like acting. It just feels like raw emotions. This game is honestly the best thing I have ever seen in my life. It's made so well and the actors are incredible
That's interesting how they have to T pose in and T pose out
Because they'll forget when the models are used
Lee Everett CazMatazz when animators and modellers create a model for a character, they create it in a “T-Pose”. This is the default shape of the model, without any animation. At the beginning and end of a scene, Mocap actors have to stand in the same T-Pose as their character’s unanimated models, so that the model can calibrate to them (I,E - Ellie’s arm is the same place as Ashley’s arm). At the end, they T-Pose again, which means the model starts in the same place as it finishes, just like hand crafted animation.
It’s also sometimes called the “Bind pose”, as the model ‘binds’ to the actor’s body.
daniel wheater That is very interesting, thanks!
@@Vin_Venture896 isnt it an A pose?
u got to assert dominance man
I'm dying over the opera version of that scene where Joel saves Ellie
16:29 someone give this woman a medal or something. she literally put me in depression for days!

Rest In Peace,
Annie Wersching (Tess)
You are missed dearly. Thank you for your contribution to this incredible game.
11:32 - heartwarming moment when Hannah cries even scene is end and they stand T-pose
i would be the same that shits so sad idk how they do it
11:10 damn, that acting is outstanding
Alek Nator if they really make this in they game maybe sarah's dead Will be gonna more dramaticly
The fact that Troy didn't want to let go after the "cut", and the actress exploding in tears. That's fucking powerful.
Damn, that was so deep I think naughty dog should’ve put this scene in the last of us, I think they wanted joel as a strong character, but THIS special scene I think that it is the only that should’ve remained in the game, it would’ve shown that joel also has feelings, and that losing a loved one is something terrible...
lucas bolek Dude if you’re not going to appreciate these actors’ work then get out.
@@KarlaLopez-qi9yd thank you!
To people who say games ain't art: 11:07-11:37
This is art ladies and gentleman
I read this comment as "to people who say memes ain't art"
A Masterpiece🤘
I see what you mean. That T pose was truly captivating
7:45 The pushing part and the rest after it until Tommy storms in was completely improvised. If a director decides to include improvised acting, you deserve a Oscar. Especially with Neil Druckmann.
And the 11:07 part, they shot that for 6 hours straight, AND had to re-do it 2 weeks later.
Every single thing in this game is flawless, the story, the gameplay, the cast, it’s truly an inspiration
Boy I am glad that a bought this game years ago. My friend reccomended it to me I said nah I think its just a typical post apocalyptic surival game. Boy I was wrong it's like reading a book and watching a movie at the same time . The first scene that Joel lost his daughter broke me and I knew that this game was special.
Chimichanggas the first scene his daughter died I had such a good bust
@@keotte5234 hahaha!! I was like "damn what the hell's wrong with this guy?" And then I read the name..
But yeah "it's like reading a book and watching a movie at the same time." Is probably the best analogy for this game I've ever heard. I'm probably gonna steal it just so you know...
I want to buy PS3 for God of war 3 but The last of us came out of blue
I finished it like 10-15 times and still playing
chris harry fuck dude I thought I am the only one who still playing lol
20:40 The Last of Us : The Musical
i lost it i can't 😂
LowBudget Studio dafuck
Why did that go on for so long? 😂
Did they finish and say “f it let’s sing this entire shit”
19:57 virando zumbi de tanto ver zumbi
That would be cool if they put it as an alternative ending
😂😂😂😂
God damn that’s some fine acting. The emotions in their faces, the body language... ca see why it won so many awards
I love the team behind everyone. I love the characters in the story. Thank you for making this game happen.
11:34 sarah's actress is crying and joel's actor i think was too..you can see it on his face..i know the story is very touching but i really didn't expect this..making a game is not all fun..
That is the Stanislavski method of acting, where the actor almost completely becomes their character. That means they feel everything their character feels( grief, anger, sadness). So after they finish they need a bit of time to get out of it. I met a girl a few months ago on acting lessons who knew how to do that. Each time she did that she went out for a short walk. It was quite a suprise to me when I and her were acting in front of others. I am trying to get in to the role and then I turn and see her all teared up. It took me a few seconds longer to respond than we planned.
Then for you saying it`s not fun, it`s true that it hurts you as you actually feel it( I`ve acted being angry and I was shaking for a minute after I stopped acting), and there is a lot more, but in the end it is very interesting.
@@Luka-mu7ei i knew about that technique but i didn't knew it was so serious and hard..thanks for letting me know:)i hope it works well for you
I think she was crying because they just killed her character!! Hehehehe!
Apparently she had a crying hangover the next day. It’s so crazy.
The acting in this game is genuinely so good.
21:36 I so wish this was a secret scene you could had unlocked in the game if it was I need to go back and play it again now!!!
dope that Merle Dandridge plays Marlene in both the game and the show. and that Ashley Johnson ended up playing Ellie’s mother in the show. Ugh so good
7:20 scene still gets me all this time
SAMEEE
11:13 The emotion was so damn real!
That was overreacted to be honest. I’m glad they didn’t use that on the game
Mabuchi overacted? Are you serious? His kid died.
lol 😂 overreacted thats emotional bro shut up
@@Zaku_Phantom lol seriously?
In reality, it’s not an overreaction. However, based on the type of character Joel is, it is an overreaction.
THEY ACTED THIS OUT??? I thought it was animation. This game really is precious. (Thanks for the replies and likes
Well, it is but ya know what I mean xD
thats how most of these types of games are made..
For example.. like Call of Duty and GTA
It's called 3D Motion Capture Technology !! Modern games are nothing without this
@@kokobeans6907 it's how most games are so realistic
It's all mocap you can tell between animation and mocap at this point
I wish I could thank these actors personally for giving me the greatest video game experience in my lifetime. Im not sure if even HBO can out do it, but I'm gonna watch.
I dont think they outdid it, but was good. What did you think?
Red dead 2 is much better
Why is no one talking about that fantastic opera rendition lol
I know right!? I'm extremely impressed and that was completely unexpected!
When the actor for Sarah kept crying after wards, it hurt so b a d :(
Actor she is actrees
Raul Gonzalez Actor can be used for both genders.
@@notzay3261 well not really. That's the reason there's separate names
@@the0ne44nd0nly Yes really, actor is a person who's acting, regardless of gender
Actress isn't used anymore. Actor is universal.
Everytime they just stop and stand in t poses i start dying skdkkd
why
@Capricorn ?
Shyan Arms they are asserting dominance
Asserting dominance so that the players know that the games graphics are better than our graphics lol
2:55 this scene is exact, Ashley actually had such good physical chemistry with this older actor, everything they did together was perfect
Ellie: “I hate soggy socks”
Ashley: “I really do hate soggy socks...”
Yeah, we all heard it
I just want to say that this footage was put together well, I dont think ive ever seen bts stuff compiled so well, congrats to the editor/editing team.
16:17 Now that's something to look forward to as an aspiring voice actor.😂
Kinda sounds like a raptor lol
honestly she should get an award for that shit lmfao
thats scary as fuck
For the clickers

21:30 The Last of Us: A Broadway Production
I was really confused, what happened there
@@criticalgems2605 forreal LMAO i was like "i dont remember this in the game??" 😂
The actors expressions really good. They imagine everything. I would be confused and embrassed acting like them.
When Joel says “let’s just go home” it sounds like he is actually sad
1:47
Mocap is the wildest thing I’ve ever seen. It’s the most gut-wrenching scene about loss and grief where the actors are suffering for the scene and then the director calls “cut” and they all have to sadly T-pose. Out of context it’s wild to witness.
16:34 me when im finding my glasses in the dark
Sarah's death will always bring me to tears. Everytime.

"And I won't let you die! Your brain...is worth more.... ALIIIIIIVEEEEEEE!!!!!" I needed to laugh that hard. Man that was the best laugh I've had in awhile

Thank you for uploading this! :-) The whole game movie is filmed in that studio. It's amazing what these actors do with almost nothing around, but with the scenes in their minds. These actors do a great job. A terrific job! If I could, I would award them an Oscar! :-)
