>im currently making a 3 hour long red dead redemption 2 fan movie, going through the main story and trying to make it as cinematic as possible.
>i can record up to one hour and i edit all clips well together with a ton of transitions, different perspectives and all that stuff. it's my first movie. im using final cut pro x.

Based.
>the best piece of media in the western genre currently is a videogame.
What the fuck happened?
No offense but you kind of wasted your time not waiting for the PC version. 3 hours seems fairly short as well, it should be 4-5 with an intermission. You're also going to want the shootouts and the fights to look good too.
Upload what you’ve got.
Just have consistent “cinematography”
thanks to game dvr it looks pretty good, i also try my best with effects to make it look as less shit as possible. also the fight scenes is what i work on the most to make them look smooth
>PC version
We're still waiting for RDR1 on PC, user.
include a scene wher you go afk for 20 mins and open like 20 different browser tabs on porngub
give me a few minutes, onedrive is pretty shit
3 hours is way too fucking long. Unironically watch Django and Hateful Eight for inspiration because that's what the game was paying "homage" to. Of course, Tarantula was homaging the older westerns, so you can go directly to the source too.
Are you just following the game's plot, or are you making your own machinema?
i can't add stuff that's already there
Are you based in Oklahoma City? I think I saw Auditions for something like this recently when I was looking through casting calls across some states
>PC version
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
i follow the game's plot. its really hard to make it work in less than 3 hours
i'm from northern germany and have never shown anyone my film yet or talked about it lol
Be a ruthless editor. Less is more.
for the love of god please dont cheap out on audio.
sorry i don't think i can upload it currently. the file is 8gb long and it'd take me 2 hours with my shit internet to get it to google drive or onedrive
this is the main spot i'm working on. audio. i know that's probably the most important stuff in a movie
Well for the love of god don’t do German audio. (Or do for lulz)
Based. I've been to Deutschland twice. Once I went to Munich and once I stayed in a tiny town called Meppen. Had a great time.
even cutting out everything that isn't fully important to understand the story, it'd be like 4 hours long
oh, trust me, i fucking hate german, and I talk with experience. everything will be as english as can be.
play it slow and realistically, get yourself as immersed as possible and try to view it as method acting
>play it slow and realistically
The juxtaposition between the slow and ordinary gameplay and the violent and over the top fight scenes shouldn't be forgotten. During normal gameplay sure but in heated moments in particular during combat don't be afraid to go absolutely berserk and highlight some of the gore and execution features.

Skip to 3:28. The particular gameplay shown here is pretty methodical but the actual narrative of the mission, Arthur's raging dialogue, the music, and the absurd number of lawmen he slaughters is god tier. You have to remember that Arthur is a 19th century raging American barbarian, not just a "cowboy".
Screenshotted your post OP so as to not forget, hope the final product comes out well.
I believe in you.
