Under Your Spell - Extra and Unused HOTLINE Footage

NEW Hotline here • HOTLINE - GTA Machinim...
Hey all, just a little video showcasing footage that never made the cut for Hotline. Various scenarios that were changed, modified, or otherwise thought to be extraneous and not needed.
I make this video a bit ironically given the song choice, as I keep thinking about this story and how I could definitely do it again in the future, at some point. Unlike pretty much every video I've done, I feel a certain connection even still with the characters and setting. Who knows where it goes, eh?
Don't know about the cyberpunk short, to be honest. Motivation to do it has gone out the window, but of course I've started and cancelled projects before multiple times.
At any rate, hope you enjoy another little foray into the world of Hotline.
Song: Under Your Spell (Kosmaty Remix)

I wish it would be possible for you and other creators such as the DMVE Crew, RavenWestR1, Domesticmango, etc. to collaborate and make the biggest and best film together....just imagine.....such an inspiration....as it happens, I'm actually uploading my first GTA 5 Series episodic but it's on PS4 and will defo suck as it's my first lol

[@axelalcantar7342]

I Will only tell you one thing that you have a spectacular talent when talking about color tone and atmosphere photography and you have my like

[@XJ220NJ]

Beautiful! And... oh, sorry, wrong floor.

[@snappyworld2241]

Gosh this is so strong. The way you build up the tempo in the scenes. The music combined with the very well composed b-roll fotage of the city. The close up of her face in the dark. Man, you have an eye for the right camera angle and you have the feeling for the tempo and duration of a scene. Genious my friend.

[@RisingJake]

Haha, thank ya Snappy. Though this is just extra footage, I wanted to address the content in a meaningful way. And I must admit, I am still hooked on this story just a little bit. We'll see how long I can stay away from continuing 👍

[@snappyworld2241]

Hopefully not to long 😉

[@NJPortugal]

Some "shots" would fit nicely in the movie, tbh. By the way, you really do have a thing for this. You are really good. I did enjoy the movie you made. It actually was more interesting and intriguing than some of the current movies being produced, so *GOOD JOB!* Because of the movie, i subscribed. I actually had already seen 2 of your videos "HOTLINE - Grand Theft Auto V " and "GTA V: WAVVES - Leave | You Can(Not) Leave"; of course the first mentioned is kinda like a prologue, but the second one somehow it feels like a prologue too... but events that happened way more far away.

[@trevzt]

Bro u r so inspirationally to me! I've learned a lot from ur videos as a GTA fanatic, film major student and music enthusiast!

[@samueljay8519]

2:36 I love all of them, but especially this one.

[@samueljay8519]

you could use one of these for the cover shot.

[@lprince96]

I like it, but I can't understand why. 😕

[@mrs.thiccanimetidsiesthicc148]

truly art

[@MpUxiee]

God it seemed like months ago I was waiting on the next hotline

[@yftaco115]

Dude this is awesome!! 👍

[@Astonp99]

Am I the only one getting a "Goodfellas" vibe from that shot with Red standing at the back of car with an open trunk with the red light ?

[@RisingJake]

One movie I don't believe I've watched yet. Heard always how good it is, though.

[@omito2233]

It’s still awesome that you did not abandoned KZbin! I am watching you sincd your older film called Endless World.

[@theDRIFT3Rcz]

OMG, Drive 🥰 you're amazing! Same as yours videos.

[@ProRel]

Absolutely amazing video! Very nice that you didn't put it in the garbage can 😉 I agree to Axel. And it's like a cinematic movie.... that's a fantastic audio-visual pleasure to watch! 😍 😎 (a bit late comment, because I'm stucked in RDO for weeks... everything else is neglected 😳 )

[@KrAyZeWoLf2010]

Masterful!

[@Xavierjonesmine]

Well hell, the graphics enhancers make everything look really life like

[@simonkennedy6116]

I hope you find your motivation for the cyberpunk again, what you shared was fantastic. But I get the struggle you can have with projects, motivation is hard to hold onto when there are so many others that keep coming. Personally, I'd like to see Hotline as an animted feature but I also wanted to see that for Ghost of Babel

[@ZenDj88]

Wow Thanks for Christmas Gift ^_^ Awesome and good Music :D Lovin' those scenes

[@ras.9524]

Man I loved this Series. Can't wait to see your future work. Hopefully RDR2 gets a damn rockstar on PC. Excellent work, RJ.

[@libertyrunner1655]

man u good

verry nice Gg :)

[@gantfreedom4640]

touching video and music, I immediately remembered my girlfriend, it deserves a like, but I want to be near her.

[@lejardsteo2]

Cool

[@illkaptures]

What FPS do you render this on? To me it looks like film FPS which is used at 24fps sometimes but I don’t think it’s 24 🤔 your films are so different when your showing cinematics then others 😂 Other then that I love it all!

[@RisingJake]

Yessir, frames are set at 24fps, though sadly this dips in a few shots when it rendered. 24fps is great for that cinematic feel.

[@ZenDj88]

But in 1:18 ..is it the bridge of Liberty City in gta4?🤔 and if I don't wrong for few seconds there are images of skyscrapers in liberty city ...

[@RisingJake]

Yep, that's Liberty City! It's a mod for GTA V.

[@ZenDj88]

@@RisingJake My years spent on gta4 eh eh eh ..yeah I know this is an add-on map... I had nurburgring track :D By the way..today I thought that it would have been nice if Red and Rhea had staged the fight between them and rebelled against the commando by regaining their lives by living as "sisters" I am anxious to see your next project. It's like waiting for a movie to come out. I really liked the cut scenes and Red's ability to slip the metro stairs at full throttle ;) Great Jake! Hugs from Italy! Ciao!

[@7even5ive]

Some shot are good but i quite feel like they wouldn't make it into the final version because they didn't really fit.

[@RisingJake]

Trim the fat, trim the fat. Name of the game when I was making this story.

[@7even5ive]

@@RisingJake lol i feel you

[@de1168]

0 dislikes :)

[@samueljay8519]

Are these shots cannon?

[@RisingJake]

All of them, perhaps, except the ones which are changed scenes with different circumstances.
