Getting closer to reality becomes an almost permanent quest among video game creators. Thanks to advanced equipment and production techniques used, this research is starting to generate great results. From their side, videographers like the YouTube channel Komazawa Isolation make their due contribution through their parodies.
This Japanese YouTuber has found a passion for producing videos inspired by cult scenes from video games. His challenging objective is to simulate realistic scenes from series like GTA, without neglecting their gaming aspect. Among the artist’s masterpieces are Grand Theft Auto Yakuza and Metal Gear Solid.
Komazawa is driven by the quest for realism, the YoutTuber utilizes his knowledge of cinematographic art to bring realism to game scenes through his adaptation sequences.
For more credibility, the director recreates the setting of the game world by adding an impression of reality. To this end, he added the details of real life, like buildings, cars, passers, etc.
However, what further contributes to the success of this enterprise is the perfect imitation of human physiognomy to portray the characters. Discerning the probable from the credible becomes problematic, because the artist manages to conceal his artifices.
A Perfect Combination Of Realism And Parody
Despite his desire for realism, the YouTuber does not lose sight of the comedic aspect of video games. However, reconciling fictitious and real is not an achievement within the reach of all producers. So how does the designer go about it?
The director has a genius way to achieve this, the objectives are simple: to break the sameness created by realistic scenes and settings, then to bring game fans back to the world of gaming at least for a moment. This is the case in Grand Theft Auto, especially when the hero throws punches at his opponents, visible lines trace the movement of his hand.
In order to reinforce this entertaining effect, he attributes to the characters attitudes worthy of a parody. This is seen when the protagonist fights without motive with people on the street and totally annihilates a passerby for no reason with a gunshot without any response from the people around. Add to that his sudden, repetitive crouch after a few actions.
