2:06 No, Rockstar has their cutscenes where characters are involved done in motion capture. As Ned Luke from a previous Rockstar game explained, they're not voice actors that sit in a booth yelling their lines, they actually act out the entire scene in motion capture as you would for any other movie.
@@nectarinedreams7208 I can say this, it has greater story and camera angles than half the shit you'll see out there. Best part is, it's a story you get to fully see to the end, with your actions guiding it
@@epicninjacakez6716 The quality of a story doesn't determine whether or not something is cinema or cinematic. The camera angles are obviously cinematic in some sense, perhaps the same sense that animated films are cinematic, but to call it a cinematic masterpiece is kind of absurd considering at the end of the day it's still a video game, and cutscenes are a somewhat minor part of that. It's definitely a video game masterpiece, though, and that's no more or less impressive than a cinematic masterpiece. I'd also strongly disagree that the camera angles are any better than most film and TV out there. Maybe you're watching the wrong shit.
Regarding the acting: This game was recorded basically the same way a CGI scene in a film is, all the actors are together in MoCap, they're shown what kind of environment they'd be in but the stage is just like, empty or some steps if needed. Because it's a game engine, and thus, doesn't need to be pre-rendered, they can even see how they'd appear in the game and review their scenes from the games perspective. There also was alot of stuff recorded the traditional way too in a sound studio, but all the cutscenes and custom animation stuff was done on these stages.
@@williamErouse There's pretty good behind the scenes footage of the processes for Red Dead 2 and Uncharted 4 on youtube. And I think there's a behind the scenes LA Noire video that really shows off how they do facial capture too!
They DID take a lot of influence from Roger Deakins. The second train heist was a complete shot by shot homage to a scene in The Assassination of Jesse James. And they also took some of the visual style for the scenes where Arthur is writing in his journal or dreaming
@@Johnnysmithy24yup, grand theft auto has always had heavy movie influences, vice city with scarface and various other 80’s films & TV shows about the drug trade, san andreas with menace II society & other 90’s gang banger movies & tv shows, GTA V with its numerous heist films + TV shows and references to each, “blitz play” is a reference to heat, the vangelico job with some references to both the italian job & beverly hills cop 2 for the robbery itself, the paleto score a massive recreation of the 1997 north hollywood bank robbery and shoot out with police turned up to 11. GTA 3 had various mob movies for inspiration, GTA IV as well, along with the french connection (there is even a mission with a direct reference to the film called the puerto rico connection) and most obviously behind enemy lines at least for nikos look and partially his backstory, so yeah essentially R* has a long ass history dating back to at least 2001 of being inspired by cinema and using parts of or referencing movies and TV that inspired the show, hell back in the 3D era they’d even get famous actors known for that style of movie to play characters, like ray liotta & danny trejo in vice city, joe pantoliano & frank vincent for gta 3, both known for mob movies like goodfellas & the sapranos, mc eiht, ice-T & samuel L jackson for san andreas, they’ve moved away from that in the HD universe but it was quite common for R* to wear their inspiration much heavier on their sleeves
Show him the ending. One of the most impactful and moving shots ive seen in any media ever. Ive beaten the game 5 times, seen all the endings like 100, and still, the good karma ending makes me tear up everytime. The shot composition alone is magic.
Love this guy. Also I think rockstar used mocap, and facial capture to do all the cutscenes and some other physical expressions. Like Ned Luke said for GTA he wasn't in a booth most of the time he was on a sound stage with a green screen. A new type of actor. Digital Actor pretty cool
Remember the first time Arthur met Agent Milton and Ross? The atmosphere and the face expressions of the characters as hero and villain… that’s the MasterClass of introducing the villain to the player. RDR 2 has really raised the bar of video games’ epic storytelling, massive details, character development and MasterClass cinematography!
Rdr2 makes the entire GTA series look like shitposts and that's just talking about the cinematics of the cutscenes. The gameplay too is in a class of it's own.
Not only does he really need to play the game himself, but he needs to do a whole “let’s play” describing the scenes with his filmmaker mind along the way, would love to hear his thoughts during every little thing that happens throughout the game, things we may have missed.
7:05 I'm just noticing Dutch shoots the person in front of him, then suppresses the only guy aiming at him, followed by killing the other guy in front of him that his team didn't kill. Always wondered how he got away with that without being shot but WOW that's cool. Makes sense now
@@ushakova3101Dutch is definitely a better a shot, especially considering he's also almost always dual wielding. I'd go as far as to say he's probably the reason John and Arthur are good themselves.
The mission where you rob the train with the wagon full of oil is a reference to The Assassination of Jesse James, on which Roger Deakins was the cinematographer.
It's always a pleasure watching the experts enjoy and react to our favorites games. Nice video Gameology If you can have William again to react to more games, I would recommend scenes from "The Walking Dead" from Telltale Games. The 4 seasons have a lot of amazing moments to react, like the "Armed with death" scene from Season 1, the reunion with Kenny on Season 2, the tunnel to Richmond on Season 3 and even the dream scene where Clementine sees Lee again in Season 4
Someone should warn him, that when he finally gets the game and plays it, it won't be easy to stop playing. This game can be really addictive, not just because of the story and the gameplay, but also the world and how much life and attention to detail there is and random events, side quests, the level of realism and all the special and hidden places. I bet he would have a lot of fun with the games photo mode lol
I can attest to this. I am not usually one to binge play games. I like to savor the experience and I can't handle long play sessions normally anyway, so I limit myself. But with RDR2, I found myself spending a whole day playing on some days. It got pretty bad. I spent 3 days of playing just exploring the world collecting stuff and hunting. I did not expect to get so deep into the hunting of the game, but it really does encourage you to hunt so well. And the hunting system is solid enough too.
@@williamErouse Thanks William believe me It's the best way to get Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder and Cognitive Dissonance 10/10 will get war crime again
The lights are absolutely insane, and with the latest ray tracing addition it's wonderful. I loved every minute of rdr2. I can't stop wandering around just to look at the beautiful landscapes, even when the game is finished
That last shot, with the old Braithwaite lady against the house on fire, is absolutely breathtaking. It hits you with the full force of the power and brutality of Dutch's Gang. This family made the mistake of messing with the wrong boy, and we burned their entire house to the ground leaving only the ashes of their dinasty. Wonderful. In the end I was just worried about the fate of Penelope, since she too unfortunately was a Braithwaite.
I’ve finished this game’s main story 5 times, it’s not that hard. There’s some pretty difficult missions but it’s pretty easy for the most part. You just need some good guns and a lot of health tonics. This is one of the best games I’ve ever played and I love these characters so much.
My dad worked in the film industry as a key grip, and he’s the reason why I appreciate camera work, lighting, and everything else that goes on that can make a good movie great, and that spread to video games as well. I wish I got to show him RDR2, I just know he would’ve adored the amazing camera work just for a video game
You should show him the train heist mission where Arthur puts a wagon on the tracks to block the train, that whole mission is a Roger deacon reference.
I love this guy! Seems like a good dude all the way through, and very knowledgeable. I'd like to see some of his work. And a RDR2 playthrough would be clutch af
When he was talking about Roger Deakins at the start and said "I wouldn't be surprised if they used Roger Deakins reference for this" they did in fact, before the quote you can see a man standing on top of something, this is a scene in one of the movies made by Roger Deakins where a train robbery is going to occur. You rob a train and stand on top of an oil tank to stop the train like they did in the movie
Without spoiling for the guy but the people that have completed the game will know... That moment when the thing happened I think we all got at least choked up if we didn't cry
The assault on braithwaite manor music is the best in terms of context and quality. War drums, high stakes, cold rage. Best atmosphere out of all missions in my opinion
Well according to the devs they actually used performance capture rather than motion capture, and in performance capture the motion and voice lines are captured simultaneously, which made it kinda easier for the cinematographers and vfx artists and animators, and a little bit easier for the actors becoz it meant they can actually act perfectly and not worry about not matching the feeling of the voice and the motion.
You’re talking like he’s some unknown indie Arthouse director lol. Dude is one of the most famous filmmakers in the world, anyone slightly interested in the medium knows him
I’m just making this out, but its possible. Sadie is an dead eye mode, when she kills those two men in the back. Because when you enter the dead eye mode, you can see Sadie is moving in a normal speed
Rdr2 is a masterpiece of storytelling. From subtle world-building events to big blockbuster sequences…the games got it all and not once was I bored, everything I did felt meaningful and like I’m still propelling this story forward.
it's sad that noone told him that the actors did so much more than voice acting in this game. the motion capturing used in this game is absolutely marvellous and the acting provided by the entire cast is just exquisit!
Imo this guy should watch John's confrontation with Micah and Dutch, that part was pretty cool, and I'm not a filmmaker but I assume there's some pretty good details in that scene.
2:12 actually a lot of the times they’re acting in motion capture. So they’re actually acting. Voice line. Body movements. Facial expressions. They’re actors
The ride and then slow walk up to the estates manor goes sooooo hard. Its one of the first times we ever see the entire gang walk shoulder to shoulder weapons drawn clearly ready to do some dirty work. Easily the best cinematography of the whole game.
And it was the most historically accurate depiction of how trains were robbed. You either tore up a section of track or blocked the track to force the train to stop or be derailed. Though far more common tactic was to board the train at a train station and then wait for the train to get far enough away from any city or town, then pull a gun and force the brakemen to apply the train's brakes, rob the passengers and express car then beat a retreat before the law came sniffing.
So there’s a rumor that I’ve heard that Rockstar consulted numerous people in the movie industry, including Roger Deacon, in their cinematic scenes. Just a rumor but still interesting.
If he ever comes back to this game you should definitively have him react to the horse charge from the mission My last boy, it is by far one of my favorite set pieces in the game!
Well actually, all the cutscenes where done in motion capture with all the characters there. Aside from a few scenes all of the characters where together.
That's why video game is the agglomeration of art. There are just so much more possibilities and also the interactivity make it the best art form possible in our time.
Who in the world thought that soundtrack overlay was a good idea? Your guest Mr. Rouse is knowledgeable and interestingly so. The subject is Rockstar's Magnum Opus. The banjo overlay is some looped noodling that sounds like a yankee's impression of bluegrass. One of these things is not like the other.
2:06 No, Rockstar has their cutscenes where characters are involved done in motion capture. As Ned Luke from a previous Rockstar game explained, they're not voice actors that sit in a booth yelling their lines, they actually act out the entire scene in motion capture as you would for any other movie.
Yeah most games Mocap
he means that you wont be talking and acting the same time.
they prob first do the motion capture and than the voice over
Ye like 95% is but some are not like the things Arthur says to his horse
But basically everything is
@@lop1506 no. they act out most scenes while also voice acting, unless of course it’s horse riding or a gunfight or something like that.
I've been into film and cinematography and watching this dude explain stuff helps my knowledge and he's just a chill as heck guy

No country for old men
Skyfall
Blade runner
1917

And Sicario
This is my opinion
Kudos to you in six minutes of the video I have gotten 5+ ads honestly impressive

Watching John get Jack to a safe spot when the o Driscolls attack shady belle always brings me joy
Finnaly its been 4 months since we've last seen him react to red dead
As someone who’s studying film and media these videos really help giving a better understanding of some aspects of filmmaking
Fun fact: this game directly references at least one shot from Roger Deakins. It’s the one where they heist a train at night… so good
I was hoping you would show him that mission!!
When he was talking about Roger Deakins at the start and said "I wouldn't be surprised if they used Roger Deakins reference for this" they did in fact, before the quote you can see a man standing on top of something, this is a scene in one of the movies made by Roger Deakins where a train robbery is going to occur.

You made me want to replay this goddamn game again :)
Great video 👍👏
Glad to have this guy back! I like him.
That's cinematography right there
Without spoiling for the guy but the people that have completed the game will know...
That moment when the thing happened I think we all got at least choked up if we didn't cry
Wow I was just playing this! What a coincidence!
Fuck I'd watch a 100 hours of this man nerding out about this beautiful game
My guy! Such a chill dude, one of the best DPs out there
My fellow filmmaker! Much love, and I hope all is well with you!
The assault on braithwaite manor music is the best in terms of context and quality. War drums, high stakes, cold rage. Best atmosphere out of all missions in my opinion
You should make him react to Sean's death and the fight afterwards. One of the most cinematic moments in the game.

"Whether they are likeable or not likeable" -cuts to Micah getting shot- Beautiful.

It would be nice to see him react to LA Noire
I’m just making this out, but its possible. Sadie is an dead eye mode, when she kills those two men in the back. Because when you enter the dead eye mode, you can see Sadie is moving in a normal speed
Next video have him play on here.
Rdr2 is a masterpiece of storytelling. From subtle world-building events to big blockbuster sequences…the games got it all and not once was I bored, everything I did felt meaningful and like I’m still propelling this story forward.
The chapters are incorrectly titled. They have the same names from the last video William was in.
Bring him to playthrough this game plz
RDR2 is truly a graphical, cinematic, and story masterpiece 👍
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain - PLEASE MAKE HIM REACT TO IT
more of this dude plsss
it's sad that noone told him that the actors did so much more than voice acting in this game. the motion capturing used in this game is absolutely marvellous and the acting provided by the entire cast is just exquisit!
Dead eye is not a superpower
Its just a gameplay mechanic to show how awesome of a shot Arthur and John is
2:47 when arthur found some *MUNEH*
Imo this guy should watch John's confrontation with Micah and Dutch, that part was pretty cool, and I'm not a filmmaker but I assume there's some pretty good details in that scene.
Give this editor a raise .. nicely edit video
I need more videos from this guy
1:21 in fact, they use very similar cinematography to The Assassination of Jesse James’s in one of the train robbery missions
Every time I see that S.O.B Micah, I just flip him the bird.
2:12 actually a lot of the times they’re acting in motion capture. So they’re actually acting. Voice line. Body movements. Facial expressions. They’re actors
I finally picked my one screen shot of Arthur having a rest at horseshoe camp and framed it.
William needs to play the game, we need our resolution
The ride and then slow walk up to the estates manor goes sooooo hard. Its one of the first times we ever see the entire gang walk shoulder to shoulder weapons drawn clearly ready to do some dirty work. Easily the best cinematography of the whole game.
Should’ve done the train robbery with John, Sean, and Charles. That shot with Arthur stopping the train was nutty
And it was the most historically accurate depiction of how trains were robbed. You either tore up a section of track or blocked the track to force the train to stop or be derailed.

RDR2 is personaly I didn't quite enjoy the mission play. but, story and grahpic was fantastic.
Ayy Will, shout out BuffNerds!
Ayyy!!!! Watup!
In the beginning, he seems to be convinced it's really just voice acting? I think he would be amazed by how the performance capture worked.
Can yall make a really famous actor react to games?
I would love to see that too!
So there’s a rumor that I’ve heard that Rockstar consulted numerous people in the movie industry, including Roger Deacon, in their cinematic scenes. Just a rumor but still interesting.
False rumor. Roger Deakins never worked in the game
They did however copy one of Roger Deakins’ scenes which I think he has talked about it in an interview
If he ever comes back to this game you should definitively have him react to the horse charge from the mission My last boy, it is by far one of my favorite set pieces in the game!
There ain't hero's, there just men trying to survive.
Well actually, all the cutscenes where done in motion capture with all the characters there. Aside from a few scenes all of the characters where together.
Dope!
RDR2 with 10grams of shrooms in 1st person mode is an experience worth having in your life.
they should have told him the voices line up with the movements so well cause it was performance capture. not just voice recordings.
They actually do record them in act. All the cut scenes are mainly the VAs literally acting the scenes lol
I hope we get RDR3 with prequel story with Arthur, RDR2 is a masterpice
I need more reaction videos from this dude
I'll try to get more done for sure. Hope all is well!
This guy: "That's cinema!"
Me: No.. That's light rays from the sun?
We should get a rdr 2 playthrough with this guy.
He was right, the mission where Arthur gets on top of the oil wagon it’s based off of Roderick’s work
