- Filmmaker William Rouse returns to Gamology to react to Red Dead Redemption 2 yet again. This time, William talks about the different lighting styles and how they change the feeling of a scene, the slow motion technique, symbolism, mood and dialogue in a narrative, and the thinking behind directing a shootout among other things. Join us as William takes a look at the gorgeous world of Red Dead Redemption 2.
The action-adventure game Red Dead Redemption 2 takes place in a Western-themed setting. In the game, players explore a fictionalized version of the Western, Midwestern, and Southern United States in the late 1800s, during the wild period of the Wild West. The player controls Arthur Morgan of the Van der Linde gang, a member of the outlaw gang, as he completes numerous missions to advance the plot.

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.
Does this guy have a TH-cam channel? I would love to see him do a playthrough of Red Dead Redemption 2 whenever he plans to start the game.
Yes please that would be cool
Same. I hope somehow he sees this and either starts one or drops his channel lol
Same
Same
Same
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
Thanks Steven I appreciate you!
@@williamErouse are you gonna streaming some rdr 2?
This game is a cinematic masterpiece, and I'm glad an industry professional gave their input on the game.
Man I can't wait to play it!
@@williamErouse I actually dont have the story, I have the Online mode that you can buy, and it is amazing as well.
It's literally not a cinematic masterpiece, because it's not cinema in the slightest.
@@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.
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
There are so many different influences in this game. It's beautiful
@@TheHeroChoncho Rockstar always takes influences from many films
@@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
Red Dead Redemption 2 is masterclass
I mean yeah in cinematopraphy, gameplay is definitely not masterclass.
@@wodidos yeah it is
@@wodidos yeah it is
Didn’t expect to see you here, but I’m not surprised. Keep up the good work.
@@wodidos ratio bozo
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.
That's dope I had no idea! I def have to check that technology out soon!
@@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!
@@williamErouse they even had actors riding horses in those!
@@Nai_101 not really
fake horses
@@kristjaangaming1935 no they also did mocap for the horses movement but im pretty sure they did them separately sometimes
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.
Nah, that's a big reveal. I feel like he should be able to experience it for himself like we did when we played for the first time
@@carmeloshin I think he already did that in the first video, but don't tell him that was the ending.
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
Dope! Thank you for sharing. I'm curious to how all of that works!
@kshamwhizzle they animated the horses by hand
Its called performance acting
Or MoCap acting
Red Dead 2 has so many cinematic moments it’s basically a video game movie
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.
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.
3:04 it’s hilarious he says this as soon as Micah starts talking
Humans instinctively recognize rats.
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
Dutch is actually a surprisingly good shot. I wouldn't say as good as, say, John or Arthur, but still great with his guns.
@@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.
Dutch is the one that taught arthur and i think john to shoot. His quickdraw and gunslingin ability should not be underestimated.
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.
The game is hard to drop. That much is true. I recommend that he plays it when he has quite a bit of free time.
i wonder if 40 hours in 4 days is bad
am flattered
They didn’t show the scene where you come back from being on the island … it’s the most emotional part when you include the D’Angelo song
Love how he went from all professional and descriptive to "bam! got his ass"
To this day, I have a screenshot of the gang walking up to the big house. It’s one of my favorite shots from the game period. 💯
Such a badass moment
This guy just makes red dead redemption look like a viable movie
Still waiting for his opinion on Spec Ops: The Line
Will def check that out!
@@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
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
To your guest:
You NEED to play this game.
It's a rollercoaster of action, emotion and atmosphere that deserves to be played.
this guy is such a great addition to gamology, he is very informative and has great reactions and is all around a chill person
I just love Red Dead 😍
Sane it's the best game ever 😎😎😎😎🎉
Still want to see him react to the Judgement games as the cinematography including the cutscenes are amazing.
I will def check those out Derrick
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.
Yes lol I wonder if he would notice it
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.
Hopefully she wasn't in the manor.
She wasnt i just did her last mission in chapter 6
Watching John get Jack to a safe spot when the o Driscolls attack shady belle always brings me joy
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.
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's cinematography right there
Ey, when is Sifu coming?
I was hoping you would show him that mission!!
Honestly the mision in the Braithwaite house is my favorite just amazing
Roger deakins did no country for old men which is my fav film
Such a classic!
Best roger deakins should def be
No country for old men
Skyfall
Blade runner
1917
Assassination of Jessie James
And Sicario
This is my opinion
I love how much of a directors perspective he brought to this, he did amazing. MORE OF HIM! :)
He’s one of the people i believe is an expert on here
@SharkTank uhhh it did for me?
@SharkTank for me also and why are u saying the same thing in others comments
@SharkTank it happens because there will be some problem with TH-cam
@SharkTank so why are you crying in this comment section for not being 1st
@SharkTank hahahahahaha
Wow I was just playing this! What a coincidence!
As someone who’s studying film and media these videos really help giving a better understanding of some aspects of filmmaking
I really hope you guys do more videos with this dude!
more of this dude plsss
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!
Funny thing is there is a Roger Deakins scene in the game. It's during the train robbery scene in Assassination of Jesse James where he's standing on the wagon as the train stops.
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
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
Glad to have this guy back! I like him.
I need more videos from this guy
The chapters are incorrectly titled. They have the same names from the last video William was in.
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
That shot of the Van der Linde Gang leaving behind the Braithwaite manor as it burns to the ground is so badass
Cool this dude knows Quentin tartino
I like Quentin work
Quentin's th goat!
*the
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
It would be nice to see him react to LA Noire
Kudos to you in six minutes of the video I have gotten 5+ ads honestly impressive
i was waiting for a new video with this guy n wishing gamology will do another video with him since the first one!
Next video have him play on here.
"Whether they are likeable or not likeable" -cuts to Micah getting shot- Beautiful.
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
I need more reaction videos from this dude
I'll try to get more done for sure. Hope all is well!
Finnaly its been 4 months since we've last seen him react to red dead
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!
This game got me through quarantine! Great analysis on the game!
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 made me want to replay this goddamn game again :)
Bring him to playthrough this game plz
You should make him react to Sean's death and the fight afterwards. One of the most cinematic moments in the game.
Give this editor a raise .. nicely edit video
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
Great video 👍👏
The assault on Braithwaithe manor was one of my favorite scenes ever in a video game
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
Best game of all time
Haven’t watched it yet and already know it’s going to be good
Love this
1:21 in fact, they use very similar cinematography to The Assassination of Jesse James’s in one of the train robbery missions
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.
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!
They actually do record them in act. All the cut scenes are mainly the VAs literally acting the scenes lol
Fuck I'd watch a 100 hours of this man nerding out about this beautiful game
They knew what had to be done when they didny include the mansion raid initially
As a high school student aiming for film major, this game is my soul mate now
Can yall make a really famous actor react to games?
I would love to see that too!
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.
4:01 🤣 if this ain’t me when playing
I wish he had a look at the mission where Arthur and John rob the train in the heartlands and Arthur stands on the fuel wagon. It’s such an amazing shot
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain - PLEASE MAKE HIM REACT TO IT
Man, it’d be dope if he made a play through and upload it here on TH-cam!
something to add you can keep shooting after you get the slow mo
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!
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
I finally picked my one screen shot of Arthur having a rest at horseshoe camp and framed it.
Still waiting for Wolfenstein episode. Like man, this was one of the most cinematic games I've ever played
Every time I see that S.O.B Micah, I just flip him the bird.
Ayy Will, shout out BuffNerds!
Ayyy!!!! Watup!
Wow the stakes are so high guys
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.
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.
All of the cutscenes were done with performance capture (MoCap), and that's why it's so good. It's cause they're all in that room together, all acting.
William needs to play the game, we need our resolution
when i tell u theemotions of anger tht filled my body when they took jack
