GTA 5: Treasure of the Sands (Machinima)

Set in 1940, during the Italian invasion of Egypt. Treasure of the Sands follows the journey of a man seeking an ancient Egyptian artefact in the beginning of World War II. This GTA 5 machinima is my tribute to the adventure genre. I was mainly inspired by Indiana Jones movies, Lawrence of Arabia and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. You can also find many references to other video games such as Uncharted 3 and Assassin's Creed Origins.
This was a huge project and it took over a month to finish. This is my second longest and probably my most action-based film. I really hope you like the video. If you do, please SUBSCRIBE to my channel for more GTA 5 machinimas!

[@Jademp2]

the surprising part is not the movie... It is how you only have 8 thousand subs after this

[@SavfkMusic]

It was great fun to compose the soundtrack to this fantastic movie!! I am very happy how this turned out, you are really a talented artist :). Thanks for letting me be a part of this, I hope you guys like the music even just a fraction of much i enjoyed composing it!

[@TwistedWisdom]

It was really fun to work with you. You put some serious effort into this project and it shows! I feel so privileged to have your music in my movie.

[@Plxyboi_.t]

I'm loving this I love the action thank for doing the voice it's like a movie I'm enjoying this very much thank you

[@TwistedWisdom]

Awesome! Thanks for checking it out 😊

[@kendallbrown7606]

I cant wait to see more this is awesome!

[@TwistedWisdom]

Thank you! This was a massive project and I'm kind of relieved that it's over. Next video will be a bit shorter :)

[@SpideySenseCreppers]

Awesome man! In part two please make it have ultra HD and make it a bit longer with more adventure and action!!!

[@TwistedWisdom]

Thank you! Sorry to disappoint but I'm not going to do second part anytime soon. This was a so HUGE project that my next film will be a bit shorter than this.

[@tryalman933]

24:52 the best crossover of history 🤣🤣

[@janicejefferson3644]

I get uncharted 3 vibes from this..

One of my favourite video game series and yes it was my inspiration for this movie 😁

[@unknownuchiha9648]

I know Batman is your favorite dc superhero but is there a favorite marvel hero you like if so can you make a series of him/her

[@TwistedWisdom]

Yeah you're right, Batman is my favourite. I'm not a big Marvel fan but I like Spider-Man and X-Men. I like to make movies about the subjects I'm interested in and at the moment, superheroes are not one of them. Maybe in the future though 🤔

[@vecta4173]

What’s the mod at 35:48 the artifact?

[@TwistedWisdom]

I can't remember the name of the prop. It's either from the game or part of the Map builder.

[@hc3424]

Please make the mummy

[@TwistedWisdom]

Mummy wtf? Where did you come up with that idea? :D

[@hc3424]

TwistedWisdom I just like the kind of movie like 1999 mummy

[@aaronleo1000]

Bro its juste A M A Z I N G!! How do you do all these animation waaow, its like a real movie , everythings perfect omg well done bro, you the best !!

[@TwistedWisdom]

Thanks! All I can say is that it wasn't easy. This took about five weeks to make from start to finish :D

[@Yeiyn343]

@@TwistedWisdom I make Machinima and although I'm no expert, 39 minutes in five weeks is FAST! :-)

[@crashnburnking7020]

So l was totally blown away with this one. I have to thank you for adding some type of voiceover with this one, really added to the professionalism of the movie. Loved the floating platforms he jumps across brilliant! :) Your imagination exceeds most making machinimas so l can admit you are by far one of the greatest. Also loved the old cars at the end this whole movie was very well done and planned out, must have to make some type of storyboard to figure it all out.So l take it there's a part 2! ( hows your climbing skills). I noticed this one is a little more like a full length feature film, pretty soon its off to Universal Studios, show them how to make real movies! :) So Savik did another amazing job on the soundtrack very very well done! I subbed him quite awhile ago. Overall l extremely enjoyed watching the movie, sorry l havn't bin around for bit, but l dont care what anyone says you are the king of mods! :)

[@TwistedWisdom]

Thank you for watching and taking time to comment. It's great to hear that you liked the movie. Unfortunately there's not going to be a sequel any time soon. This was so massive project that the next time I want to do something in a smaller scale. For example, that 5 minute chase scene took over a week and lots of retakes. I tend to use a lot of different mods and that always makes things more difficult. Machinima making is very challenging because you have to plan every scenario. You can't just go and play the game like you normally do. I usually make some kind of a "script" before I start filming the scene. So, yeah it definitely needs some planning. Savfk did truly amazing job on this and he has earned all the respect! :)

[@Marvelous_Oz_Machinima]

Expertly done! Lots of wonderful moments - - going into the pyramid, which reminded me of Imprisoned with the Pharaohs by HP Lovecraft, getting into the flying plane, the awesome submarine, and a lot of difficult action scenes! I do hope the artifact “ends up in a museum where it belongs“, though :). Since Spielberg and Lucas have kind of lost the spirit of their movies, you have found it again! The ending was also Lovecraftian. Reminds me I’d like to see some Lovecraft machinima, since Hollywood so thoroughly botches every Lovecraft movie they make. Awesome job mate! Always look forward to what you will do next.

[@TwistedWisdom]

Thanks so much for this thoughtful comment! It's interesting that you found connection to H.P Lovecraft because it wasn't actually my intention to make references to his work. This is very cool, because I've never thought it that way. Raiders of the Lost Ark was my main inspiration for the pyramid scene. For the ending, I wanted to bring this old Film noir vibe. My goal was to make the protagonist more complex character, some sort of a thief like Nathan Drake in Uncharted 🙂

[@ZumieFiasco]

A LOT of flaws technically speaking BUT that aside I genuinely enjoyed it.

[@TwistedWisdom]

Could you be more specific.. What flaws exactly?

[@unknownuchiha9648]

I honestly forgot this was gta

[@the_railroad_bastard5197]

Gotta say this is some of the best work I’ve seen done with gta.

[@TwistedWisdom]

Thanks so much! This was very challenging project and it took few weeks to create from start to finish.

[@rpm_studios]

this is amazing ffilm

[@OceanRAZR]

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!! Reminds me of Uncharted with Nathan Drakes Storys :D

[@TwistedWisdom]

Thank you! Yeah it's actually no secret that Uncharted series was my main inspiration for this film :)

[@demetriusrose2011]

This is literally the thing iv been wanting for so LONG!! Pluse like the 40s 50s our 60s atmosphere

[@TwistedWisdom]

Thanks my friend! Check out 'The Fallen City' on my Channel. I'm sure you'll like that too. It's set in the 50s.

[@talkaboutwacky]

I think this KZbinr was a pioneer director of 1920s Hollywood in a previous life. Well done sir

[@damian_fam0226]

If this was based in the 40s they wouldn't have jets but one airplane you could have used could've been the p-45 Nokota. Because in the 40s was around World War II and the only planes they had were propeller based airplanes but overall it was a good short film 👌

[@TwistedWisdom]

Yeah I know that. I used F-86 Sabre because it was the only one that had Italian livery. They also didn't have Willys Jeeps or MG-42 in 1940.

[@damian_fam0226]

TwistedWisdom oh yah are u gonna make a part 2 to this mini movie?

[@TwistedWisdom]

No I don't think so. This is meant to be one independent film. Anyways, Thanks for watching this and taking time to comment ☺

[@wesseljacobs2201]

Where the muskets supposed o be k98 rifles? I see them change trough allot. BTW another amazing job! Especially the Nathan drake thing at the bar 😂

[@TwistedWisdom]

Yeah they change because the weapon textures aren't high enough. That happens when you move camera too far. It's annoying problem I just have to deal with. Thanks for watching the video btw!

[@MultiHawk1990]

Great, you should have more subs and views!

[@TwistedWisdom]

Thank you. It's pretty hard to get subs and views these days, at least with the type of content I'm making. Luckily this channel is growing faster than ever before :)

[@crisfromtex547]

nathan drake was a nice touch!!!!

[@TwistedWisdom]

Thanks.. I'm glad you noticed that. I wanted to pay a little homage to that character because Uncharted is one of the reasons I made this film in the first place :)

[@letranger1078]

*Lawrence Of Arabia*

[@TwistedWisdom]

That was a huge inspiration for me to make this movie.

[@Yeiyn343]

This film is amazing and it's a great lengthy one. I had no idea you could make something like this with GTA 5's tools. I love every detail of it and even the change of clothes. I also laughed at the Uncharted and AC: Origins (pyramid slide) references. :-)

[@TwistedWisdom]

Thank you so much! It's always nice to receive positive feedback ☺ This was so difficult project, especially with all the different mods. I'm glad you noticed the references. I really wanted to honor all those great films and games that inspired me to make this movie. This is also my own favourite of all of my films.

Is this gold figurine in menyoo or map editor, or did you make it yourself?

Wait i don't understend...It is Nathan Drake?

[@revelations777able]

Wow, this is Amazing didn't think it's possible to make such interesting movies with GTA. GJ Bro

[@TwistedWisdom]

Thanks mate! Yeah it's possible, just needs a lot of work 🙂

[@BIGJACK45]

37:14 how did you manage to actually go upwards? I found the animation or did you user airbreak or something

[@TwistedWisdom]

No it's just a basic animation. I used menyoo to go upwards.

[@BIGJACK45]

TwistedWisdom yeah that's called airbreak right? Atleast in the simple native trainer. I use both menyoo and the native trainer

[@BIGJACK45]

TwistedWisdom great movie tho, you're a big inspiration for my own vids🙏

[@TwistedWisdom]

I don't use simple or native trainer myself, so It's not airbreak. That character is just in an endless loop of the rappel animation. I simply used Menyoo to move him vertically. Thanks a lot for the kind words man, it's much appreciated :)
