Ghost of Babel - バベルの幽霊 Grand Theft Auto V

みんなありがとう！
Inspired by the likes of Ghost in the Shell, Metal Gear Solid, and 2001: A Space Odyssey, Ghost of Babel is a journey of the woman called Rhea as she traverses a strange, post apocalyptic landscape towards an ultimate goal.
Filmed entirely in GTA V, with the voices of Lauren Synger and DC Douglas, Ghost of Babel was created by a one man crew along with the input of many talented individuals.

Just realised I never commented on how good this was, you transcend this video beyond GTA V. Your set design is legendary, this is the sort of content that inspires me to go big! I can appreciate this took a silly amount of work and time to make, I hope it spurs you to make more / move onto greater things machinima-related down the line.

[@RisingJake]

Immensely appreciated, Dug. You of all know the hair-tearing effort it takes to learn how to tell a story well, to dress it to the best of your ability. We shall certainly see where things head from here. Absolutely dancing in my seat to see what final stuff you pull off in GTA 👍👍

[@spudmurphy190]

Shots: 2:39, 4:41, 5:52, 7:16 and 7:36 (match cut) and I loved that, 9:50, 10:02, 10:24, 11:39, 21:40. Highest visual excellence! There was set design for almost every shot, stellar SFX, and great cinematography from start to finish. The pacing was perfect, slow meditative scenes and fast action, the 1st dream sequence/flashforward was under a minute yet it communicated everything. Great voice acting, elevated the anime style, yet I also appreciate how it was kept almost minimalist; the visuals spoke volumes. The tank sequence and the final dream sequence was my kind of shit, and I loved every moment, wonderful. Thanks for taking the time with it, all the effort shows, we are thankful for your high quality bar and your desire to make something special. Whatever aesthetic you were striving for, and have done in the past, you perfected here; plus your influences show but you managed to create something truly unique. So it's one big *YES!!!*

[@nocktukdaze8256]

Forgot this was GTA 5 99.9% of the time. Every second that was spent on this video was worth it. Good luck on your next projects! :D

[@sgt.nuclear]

It’s a shame the youtube algorithm doesn’t recommend these masterpieces to users. This is a video from over a year ago with this quality yet only had ~18k views...

[@RisingJake]

Yeah, tell me about it

[@fkthelegend3450]

this movie deserv 200 million views

[@jw7196]

Amazing! Inspiration from Ghost in The Shell, Metal Gear Solid, Armored Core: For Answer... You can see it. There aren’t many who can really see it. Don’t stop doing what you do. We need more talented people like yourself around.

[@kinokam382]

Horned One at the second part i fell the inspiration from ghost in the shell almost immediatly

[@chandochispas1094]

This was just incredible. The cinematics, the sounds, the story... This is a work well done, and it seems extremely hard to do it right. Congratulations for delivering a masterpiece to the community! I also gotta say that your videos inspired me to start using the Rockstar Editor, and I'm trying to do a good project. Seriously, your work shows passion. Never stop doing what you love.

[@RisingJake]

Chando Chispas It is my absolute pleasure to bring the best I have. Thank you!

[@xtra4337]

It's just impossible. You did an incredible work. It's a masterpiece, congratulations!

[@crashnburnking7020]

You are forever a true inspiration to the machinima world, l cant thank you enough!

[@RECfilming]

Great job. The amount of work that was put in this is amazing :)

[@MEPlaysHD123]

Wow. Just wow! Everything from thumbnail, to score, to camera placement, it was all perfect! Seriously cannot believe this is GTA, the environments created were all so unique and beautiful! Top job, and I hope this can get the exposure it deserves because I can tell how much work this took!

[@reiayanami5]

Lets help him by sharing this underrated masterpiece.....

[@OMSOFFICIALS]

Simply Incredible some fantastic work :) can't wait to see more

[@MUMZAUZ]

You win. It's over.

[@betterbinary8864]

22:29 illuminati confirmed.

[@triplesixfilms]

This left me speechless..... Like a good speechless though! Like I'm still trying to fathom and take in what I just viewed. Its simply mind boggling beauty. The wide shots are what steal this for me, the depth of them and the rest of the cinematography give you that feeling of claustrophobia. that can bottleneck a narrative, but you paced it out like a fucking champ! That coupled with the phenomenal VA by the actress for me makes this an absolute masterpiece! Its easy to see how hard you've worked on this Jake, congrats fella... Brilliant film dude!

[@dragster1018aone]

Managing this is no easy feat, much less grabbing some of the biggest names in the voice acting industry. good job.

[@bbernales177]

This must have taken a massive amount of time and effort and love. Really nice to finally see this. Definitely your piéce de résistance or magnum opus. Top quality machinima.

[@ZumieFiasco]

This is everything... No words LJ. You out did yourself here. Thank you so much for this and all your hard work. Bravo, it's a masterpiece.

[@FeiVahlroe]

Oooh that armored core for answer track in the end... That was perfect.. fck I miss playing that game, and 4 lol

[@rowellbeast]

Did you name this after Ghost babel? lol. This is amazing. You need so much more views just for how much quality is in here. Very inspiring work. I love everything about this. Can't express how amazed I am by a video made in gta. Some amazing work. Very well done. I will not forget this anytime soon.

[@LPF346HUN]

I've been following this project ever since I saw it on Twitter. Amazing work!

[@timmytryhard9364]

Oh my gosh i can't believe how much effort went into this you did a great job!

[@MILITATED]

This is the most amazing GTA movie I've ever seen! God knows how you managed it, but thank you :D

[@lorenzom2815]

Great cinematography! This deserves to have 20 times the views it has.

[@Caylemscott]

This was Amazing! the only problem with it was the flashbacks were really trippy and hard to grasp at it. the voice ating was 10/10.

[@OurDarkCloud]

This is really good. From the lip syncs, to the impressive visuals, and basic understanding of film, this is one of the best machinima's I've seen. Keep up the good work, and hit me up if you need another VA. I'd love to work with you some time.

[@Nucky]

Finally found time to watch it, and boy was it impressive! Superb job, Jake....superb! Captivating set/world design, stunning images with pleasantly hypnotic music! Feels a lot shorter than 26 minutes and 26 seconds too, time flies by! Definitely a new standard in the world of machinimas :)

[@Gardiance]

It genuinely saddens me to my core, that a work of this magnitude is not seen by more people. From the visuals to the voice acting etc., it truly is astonishing what you've pulled together. Congratulations, and I hope that both this and your other projects one day gain the recognition they deserve.

[@MC-bj1by]

I loved every second of this and was amazed at how much work went in to this KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK MAN!

[@albertanto7082]

Iam just mind blown watching this! Mahn how did i not see this earlier. Your story telling is amazing!! I loved the opening shot.

[@mellusse]

I just now finish to watch this masterpice! amazing work!!!

[@MEPlaysHD123]

9:50 and 10:23 are my favourite shots, you just can’t tell it’s the same game and it looks so cinematic!

[@ras.9524]

I still can't believe you got DC Douglas and Lauren Synger to actually voice act in your project. 😮🙏🙏🙏😁😁. The entire film was amazing! Everything was perfect! I can tell you put a lot of work into your craft!

[@seon126]

You deserve more views, the cinematography and narrative of this was outstanding.

[@michalK5655]

This room in which Rhea talks to the Babylon's Priest is amazing. It looks a bit like the Temple of Precursors from Assassin'S Creed.

[@slickwolf5492]

Amazing!!! Very well done and beautiful cinematography

[@alias1]

You should (if you haven't yet) move on to real life stuff man. Some of these shots are absolutely incredible. The composition of your shots is outstanding. 21:40 - 22.22 is so beautiful.

[@frangershwing]

Your talent and art shows in every second of this movie. Brilliant work, is the least I can say! Gaming is not about 'playing missions", I believe the game industry still doesn't get this very clearly. What is fascinating in games is *virtual reality* - which you explore so well in this movie that completely recreates the open world, time and characters of GTA-V. I'm sharing this masterpiece everywhere! Congrats!

[@FurryWrecker911]

4:27 I had a moment of "WAIT I know where this is!" Ah man, many a time my friends and I would be offroading and stop to splash around this little pond. It's a shame that whole area of the map is widely unused in GTA V.

[@RisingJake]

Yeah, man! GTA V may not have the biggest map, but the individual locations have so much character, and with a few added trees/shrubbery, you can make any of the unused locations even more unique. Thanks for watching 🏅

[@ddiegnan6587]

Ok how the fuck where u able to film the battle scene when the bullets are wising by her and the camera is so dynamic, like seriously, are you just amazing or did it take 3 hours, I can’t stop watching it

[@CapperCritic]

Please make a continuous series. These shorter/longer random edits would have time being spent on a bigger project equivalent

[@killazspain]

Awesome :O

[@GabrianFilms]

I know, I'm 2 months late, but that was really amazing, kept me glued to my screen the whole time :D

[@technicalcucumber]

Outstanding work...really love the simple long shots and the desolate feel and choice of score is just fantastic.

[@KeithRecht]

That’s it you have released a masterpiece my friend. Amazing job as always and keep up the amazing work

[@RetroX66]

Wao your video is really beautiful i dream make video like this ! I love your work !

[@ModojoFilms]

Stellar work! Love your sets btw

[@AlanGohel]

This is some spicy shit right here. More people need to see this.

[@joooop]

Every single shot has clear effort put into it. Well done, and thanks for this.

[@kinokam382]

[@zaidsaifi2559]

This is some seriously impressive work. I would love to see more from you based on Blade Runner. Basically Neo-Noir Cyberpunk

[@RisingJake]

Might be you'll see just that coming up ;)

[@LoLitO_omg]

Un vídeo fantástico, tienes muchísimo talento creando escenas, sigue así, tienes un buen futuro.

[@XHellJumperX514]

Well in my life never thought that there were mechinamas like this pretty much i seen halo,cod,gears,some of gta4&5 and some others from good to bad and funny. But however this was extraordinaire and hell I pretty much missed out on a lot and started watching from 2008 and stopped in 2014. Well here's another couple of years to come . 👍.💙

[@co6y]
