As per the poll result here's the original Trick Bag video, which initially released in 2008 or 2009 or so before HD on RU-vid was even a thing. Enjoy lol
1:35 NO WAYYYY, this was the video where I learned how machinimas were made! Today I see well choreographed free-cam videos and my mind always goes: “back in GTA 4 you had to crouch in a certain way to kinda make a tri-pod camera” well before Rockstar Editor was a thing. Never thought I would see that video again
Crazy to think 2008 was just 16 years ago, however it feels like a lifetime ago. Anyway I'm one of those blessed enough to have grown with youtube. I remember early, free-for-all youtube and it was glorious! Endless afternoon spent in my teenage years.
Pretty crazy how far AI generated voices came in the last 15 years. Today you can have a near perfect version of someone like Barack Obama narrate your video (AI presidents are quite popular), but back then it sounded like Stephen Hawking :D
Just to give people an idea how old this video is, at 10:46, it says to "rate" instead of like because this was back when RU-vid videos had a 5 star rating system not a like/dislike system.
Around the 4 minute mark, I remember the original video having "5:23 Maiden Voyage " Playing in the background. That's how I remember it originally. Maybe a Madela Effect
Man i remember in your old videos you used to launch yourself in GTA IV off some gas/propane tanks with a grenade. I tried this back then and it didn't work. Did Rockstar patch this glitch or something?
I find it interesting how at 0:14 you put "we" instead of "I". I'm presuming this was a directive from Machinima, but do you remember why that was the case?
