Thank you for watching!
Please let me know if you liked it, I have spent a lot of time on this and I would appreciate it!
I got a lot of requests for this, so here it is :)
I got one feedback on this and it was: "This feels a little too much like RDR2" and that's when I knew it was done - Krátké a kreslené filmy
I honestly don't even think you understand how unbelievably good this is.
@@FatherBanana112 absolutely
@John Day TRUEE
the guy makes a 4D cinema to compliment the video.
This should be the official intro of the game. That's how good it is!
I would be so down to sign a petition to put this intro into the game.
It's unbelievably good!
As a huge fan of both tue detective and rdr this was beautiful
bottleofwhiskey_ true detective season 1 is probably one of the best in TV history
@@Sam-uw7pw Yes, and Rust is the best character ever.
Tyler durden is great too
bottleofwhiskey_ how'd u like Season 3 I really liked it
Erik D'Arco rust is seriously a badass.. i find consoltation in true detective after watching shitty got episodes
0:58 that’s some clever symbolism. Dutch is a ticking time bomb.
Him: oh this look cool rigth here
@@deloreandude4636 literally
@@mattttutttelol another cool foreshadowing detailing noticed was near the end it showed Jack as a kid and his face was on a gun which we both know he grows up to be a gunslinger just like his dad
Nice catch. Also Mary's on the money (pickpocket, gambling father), Blackwater has a water distortion, Micah has a skull/day of the dead face, Dutch is in the clouds holding a cross pose, Uncle is on the beer (alcoholic), Sadie's home is on fire (home robbed husband killed), Sean Magure's picture is burned (dies).
English teachers be like
0:06 love how the low honor logo appears, then it transformed into Micah, it's like foreshadowing him being a rat
This was fantastic. I really hope you get the chance to make a career out of it because you have an eye for this.
Thank you man! I would love that! :))
RDR2 Season 1, Episode 9: Blacklung's Last Ride
In the climactic episode of Season 1, the gang continues to fracture; with his condition rapidly worsening, Arthur rides back to camp for a dramatic confrontation.
You know in all reality I could actually really see a Red Dead Redemption series on TV such as HBO or not it would probably be like right next to something what we would expect from Deadwood LOL
menachem rephun I feel like rdr2 would be one of those shows like on the bbc with a few hour long episodes for each chapter
I personally think the person who should score this music if it was a show at least for the first season would be Marco Beltrami I've definitely loved his work back in 3:10 to Yuma
You know if they didn't make this show I would highly recommend Marco Beltrami to at least score for the first season LOL I love this work from 3:10 to Yuma

More like in season 5 since there’s 6 chapters then season 6 onwards is John’s story
Jesus this is incredible, like honestly beyond words. Don't know if it's intentional but the way Jack's eyes are on the gun to me symbolises how his innocence and childhood were ripped away before he even had the chance to have them and how it's always been his destiny to don the way of the gun and avenge his father. Beautiful
David Coyle that was my intention sir! I feared no one would get it, but you nailed it!
And thank you! :)
@@RobinMikalsenVFX also john in the javiers cigeratte indicates hes gonna be killed or captured by rip van winkle
I'm feeling conflicted. Idk whether to go rewatch TD or replay RDR2 after this. Wow.
Both both is good
Imagine if Rdr 2 was a TV Series and this as its intro...
0:46 Love this part in particular.
Anyone who played the RDR1 stranger mission "I know you" understands.
Love the clever use of symbolism at 0:45 The Strange Man hovering above John and 0:54 the buck being the anchor of Arthur's morality that is retained from the original True Detective intro.
*Impeccable work, this was truly a labor of love!*
@@Judewhohasacrestedgeckocuz he got 5 years till his killed by the avengers he wants to watch every rdr vid
0:46 such an amazing shot
this is unbelievable, Jack Marston’s reflection in the gun literally gave me chills
If there ever was a Red Dead series, this would 100% be the intro
0:08 micah low honor
this is art
Came from Reddit. Added to favourites. Absolutely fantastic work. I can't stress that enough.
Wat part of ulster r u from
@@funkmasterb847 Don't want to specify for anonymity reasons. Country boy. Not a nice town nearby haha.
Ulster is Irish the native Gael was here first before ye imbred Scots.
I don't even watch True Detective but that was awesome.
You really should buddy, the first season is a masterpiece ;)
W N why people only like first season ? im planning to watch it
@@hakanbaratheon7427 cuz the others are meh compared to the first one
@@TheAlatair OK I'll watch it now!
You have to man!!
Right fucking NOW 👉🏼
After numerous re-watches, here's my *Shot-by-shot Breakdown / Mise-en-Scene*
1. the Dishonourable cowboy logo is layered over micah's face for less than a second at 0:07 - superb job, it's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it detail
2. At 0:11, the background of John's face is the shack of Beecher's Hope - shows what he actually wants.
3. Going off my last point, Dutch's 'wants' are the wilderness - freedom from the civilization of America.
4. Hosea's wants are very similar at 0:17, we see a white outline of him (white = morality in the game) on his horse. It shows Hosea's personality as being raised in the mountains.
5. 0:20 we see a skull covered in blood, and in the top left, you can make out "Revenge is a fool's game" and "Vengeance is an idiot's game" in the bottom right - the skull in blood symbolises the cycle of violence
6. In the shot afterwards we see badass Arthur robbing someone, but what's layered over him are the images of Mary and the Wanted Poster. As Arthur says to her, he's a wanted man and anyone close to him is wanted too. It's no accident that poster takes up half the screen
7. Dutch with his arms stretched out, reminiscent of Christ because, as we know, Dutch takes on the role as a sort of saviour, taking in many strays into the gang. Also, Molly in the top right, barely visible - that's how Dutch sees her. The focus is on him, not on Molly or Charles (both seen as second-class citizens in 'civilized' America), showing that for all his talk, he is simply a narcissist.
8. 0:29 the water bubbles... the white in the background is a drowned person, and, in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it detail once again, in the top right, you'll see 'Guarma' written in white. Excellent little detail. I do like the idea of the man in white (again, morality) is good for one thing - dying. Sink or swim kind of world... also with the bubbles, further emphasizing the drowning?
9. 0:32 shows young Javier smoking, but more importantly, in the smoke, we see an older John Marston. Obviously hinting towards what is to come and, perhaps, showing that their friendship will go 'up in smoke'.
10. The eye shot at 0:34 may be my favourite, just because it's creative. I choose to believe that's the deer's eye from the Spirit-Animal sequences. And that look - that's from saving Micah, who says 'sons of Dutch, that makes us brothers'. It seems to show the burden of an outlaw on Arthur, and maybe... just an ounce of shame or regret?
11. 0:38 the money bags from the train heist at the end, the shot of the gang - it's more than you'd think at first. Sure, it's the gang and what they want - 'muhney'. BUT, it's also the two most important things to Arthur at the start of the game. And, perhaps most interestingly, it shows how Dutch sees the gang - each of them is a tool for money.
12. Uncle, beer bottles... yeah, that checks out. I do like the shot of them breaking - he does leave the gang, after all.
13. Lenny and 'A Quiet Time' dancing... perfection.
14. 0:44 The guitar with the gang - that's a clear homage to the scene it depicts, bringing Jack back. It's one of those moments where you see that the gang is actually a family.
15. 0:47 - that's gotta be the Mysterious Stranger/Strange Man. And he's clearly marking John for death there - absolutely brilliant wink at the audience.
16. 0:48 - we see the sketch on the map of Sadie's house along with a lone crucifix in the ground. Clearly her Jakey. The fire at the bottom is a reference to the opening chapter when Micah... well, does what Micah does best. We see some grass at the bottom which could be her moving on with the gang, or maybe even over to Texas?
17. I believe the man in the next shot is Agent Ross, with the smoke-billowing steam train. That's clearly emblematic of Civilization catching up to the gang.
18. Arthur with the stag... again, it's showing that, at heart, he IS an honourable person. With the fire... I'm not sure - maybe that's a hint to the 'go back for the money' ending?
19. Dutch and the dynamite - that's Dutch in a nutshell, isn't it? There's a long line of a spark and, suddenly, there's an indiscriminate explosion.
20. 1:02 is an amazing bit of foreshadowing - the revolver and Jack Marston. Obviously, we all know what happens when he's 19...
21. Ah, this next shot is amazing. Definitely a highlight - we see Arthur as we play him half the time - riding the horse, exploring - just a good-time-guy. Then, in a flash of *red* (nice) we see Arthur as we play him in the second half - the gun-toting killer. Sets up the conflict very nicely. Also, we can see Sadie shooting at Colm's hanging on the left... maybe setting up her side-story of hunting down the O'Driscolls?
22. 1:06 Swanson and Abigail... I think this is to do with how civilians handle this life. Swanson gets high, Abigail worries. But, more importantly, they're two of the only people to make it out of the gang. Also 2 that Arthur says goodbye to.
23. 1:08 Dutch and Arthur... perhaps the most front-and-centre relationship in the entire series. The Father and his Son. As for the camera, my interpretation is that there's how we see things - i.e. how we see Dutch. But that's not necessarily how it is. After all, we see Ross and Milton through the camera lens, showing that their perspective is different. Also, it could be something to do with wanted posters? Law and Robbery - two building blocks for America (hence the flag in the background).
24. 1:12 - Sean and the woods... he is buried in the woods, after all. But the fire - that's the Braithwaite manor, right? Good choice, since he says "I was born burning down country manors".
25. 1:15 - Just a really cool shot. That's almost certainly Arthur, and shows that everything "he does, he does out of a loyalty and a love" to the gang (Roger Clark at a convention I can't quite remember right now).
26. 1:17 - Bill Williamson blowing stuff up - that is his area of expertise, right?
27. 1:26 - lastly, Arthur and John. The two people that, despite all the bad they did, tried to find redemption. And, though it's not clear if they did, they died better men than they were in life.
Absolutely stellar - 10/10, best intro, all the awards. I don't know the cowboy equivalent of a salute... I... tip my hat? Yeah, I tip my hat.
I tip my hat to you for this amazing breakdown!
God
Toss a coin for my man right here
@@maaz3587 Oh, Valley of Plenty.
In all seriousness though, where's our muneh?
I want to add more on your number 1 point.
Not only it shows Micah dishonored traits, but there's also a blood mark on Strawberry where the player first saw Micah's more blood-thirsty and unstable tendency.
THIS IS SO AWESOME!!! Keep up the fantastic videos, man! WOW!
This is FUCKING amazing!!! This deserves so many more views, Jesus, this is the best thing I've seen in a while!! Someone should hire you!
Rick Rickman I agree 100%
Damn I just finished both rdr2 and true detective s1 and this comes up in recommended sick af
This is friggin amazing. Mind boggled on how you managed all the neat effects. I'd kill to see an RDR2 show series with this as the intro!
On HBO
This song perfectly fits RDR too.
I absolutely love shit like this, fascinating editing.
Let me know if you have any ideas for what I could make, thanks! Doesn't have to be Red Dead related.
Fallout: New Vegas True Detective intro?
Doctor Who style intro for BioShock Infinite
I'm working out on how I can make a Game of Thrones intro for Red dead. I'm only thinking about it as of now. It's a lot of work for one person
True Detective Intro for Westworld would be lit
Breaking bad true detective style would be cool.
I think that a series that covers RDR2 and RDR1 would be perfect. Like 1-2 seasons each for the games
I'm bloody loving these True Detective cross overs. They work so well
a great tv show collide with a great game = masterpiece intro
I’ve watched this like 4 times since I discovered it yesterday, pure art
awesome
THIS IS PERFECT FOR A RDR SERIES
That quick shot of the Strange Man marking John for death gave me chills...
This is a work of art. You don't even need to like the Red Dead series to appreciate this masterpiece.
0:27 Dutch, like god in the sky, molly and the music.. jesus christ i don't even know how this makes me feel, i'm glad this video exists, simply wonderful
Elder Scrolls: Oblivion with Game of Thrones theme
How original
Or the Witcher 3.
This was fantastic! Beautiful work and it proves yet again that True Detective has the best tv intro of all time.
0:46 🤯 AAAAAMAAAAZIIING. I loove this video, the best fan made rdr vid ive seen in my life
1:03 the future jack will never escape
After coming back to this after some time, straight up goosebumps. I don't know why, but this shit hits something deep to my core.
Thank the gods for this, imagine if this man had a team working under him, he'd make any intro 10× better, love your work man keep it up ❤
Could you share the 1:15 wallpaper. Thanks, amazing work!
im waiting for that wallpaper

you seriously screenshot CZcams videos for wallpapers? and I'm the moron?
ROFLMAO
@@definetheterms1236 we want it high quality
@@Sem5626 Then why did you say 720? *-Wasted!*
Every time I watch this I catch something new. I just now noticed RDR1 version of John in Javier's smoke at 0:32. Fucking brilliant. So frustrating to see people ripping off this brilliant work, but the knockoffs are obviously inferior. You're so GOATed for this.
Words can’t describe how perfect this flows together. If I didn’t know about TD, I would’ve thought Rockstar designed this intro.
Masterfully done, brilliant work.
Dude this is actually super fucking cool. You should do more. As a huge fan of both this is an awesome piece of content.
Man what I can say to this masterpiece of work , 4 years I always come back to watch this amazing editing becuase RDR2 and TD are one of my fav's, I hope we can see more from you bro
Amazing. Smiling ear to ear from start to finish. Well done and thank you for putting it together!
Thank you for doing this. This is bloody awesome!
Thank you for this video. The best of both worlds. Incredible job.
One of the best videos i've ever seen! Keep up the great work!
I remember seeing this on the subreddit, never gets old watching this masterpiece of a video. Good job!
"This town is like someone's memory of a town and the memory is fading."
Truly incredible work, you merged this together seamlessly.
Exactly what i was looking for! Brilliant .
The best RDR2 edit that ever exists. Thank you for this beautiful work.
Your work is sooooo fantastic. I like both RDR2 and True Detective, and I absolutely love your video. I can imagine the amount of effort you put in this video. Thank you for showing us this beauty!
This is amazing. You are truly talented I can't believe I'm just now seeing this after 3 years man❤
Huge fan of True Detective and RDR series. Amazing work, best fan video to date.
This is the most amazing piece of fan work I've ever seen.
Wow I'm blown away amazing work keep it up
This is God damn flawless. Great work.
This is gorgeous. This is like Until Dawn and a James Bond movie opening. so damn good. and the colour grading is pretty af
This is the most amazing thing I have seen and heard
When something epic gets more epic, man this was one of the most cool fan made arts i see :)
RDR2 is a perfect game and I cannot fathom how you managed to make it look even better. If this doesn't compel people, especially TD fans to play the game, I don't know what will.
Yeah you freaking nailed it. From thematic connections and technical skill to visual presentation, this is a treat to the eyes.
This is amazing! Absolutely love this. Amazing adaption mate, well done
Tbh, this is the most impressive thing I saw this year. Just wow!
Coming back to this edit. It’s absolutely breath taking.
Best of both worlds, great stuff!
This is amazing! Incredibly well done!
I've only seen friends play Red Dead Redemption and I've watched True Detective, but I can see art when presented with it. The way this is mixed and hauntingly good. This is amazing.
Let’s give this creator the recognition they deserve. This was unbelievably well done. 👍
Absolutely amazing work... looking forward to whatever you've got next!
total art, excellent music, I can not stop seeing one more time
I've watched this repeatedly. It's really good. I'd go as far as to say the visuals are even better than the actual true detective intro. You have serious talent.
Dude this was amazing!
THIS IS FANTASTIC!!!
I love it!
Absolutely stunning
I SEARCHED FOR IT! THANK YOU SO MUCH. THIS IS ART!
For some reason I’ve found myself down a rabbit hole of watching various intros edited in the style of True Detective (Game of Thrones, Star Wars, Chernobyl, etc...) This might be the best yet.
I just want to stand and salute this video. Amazing work!
Great job man! It is so pleasure to see this as a fan of both.
This is amazing!! Outstanding!!
God damn. Searched this on a whim and someone actually made it. Well done!
Some cuts are pure perfection and in generell its a fucking great intro
Amazing work
This has got to be one of the best things I've ever seen. Well done.
Hey, just came from Reddit to download it. Make these type of video, keep it up boah.
I am lost for words of how this video was brilliantly made!
Incredible is an understatement!
Great to see that even after all these years, this video is still doing the rounds.
Truly amazing
You're a genius ! Best ever "True Detective intro style". There's plenty of other intro (for other games, tv show, movies) who used that song and style, but they all are soulless, blend...and this is the first time in years i saw such a perfect, flawless intro......Merci ;)
great work man, wish you best !
That's incredible awesome true detective plus red dead redemption, good work !
THIS IS THE BEST EDIT IVE EVER SEEN OH MY GOD
God this is literally perfect. I love this
My god , thank u Robin its so beautiful
and thank you buddy! :)
I can't believe how good is this
this is too good, good job bro !
So so good..i love that opening to true detective season 1 and to meld with rdr2
masterpiece!
