Hi, I'm back with another contribution to Gaming Photography community and this time I'm going to join Gaming Photography Weekly Contest - Theme: Cinematic Shots showing and talking about Cinematic Shots in RDR 2.
Note: Most of captures are my own using the photo mode and I added the cinematic black bar later to give the captures a cinematic vibe according to the theme.
I rode to Shady Belle to talk to Dutch as he had a mission for me but after reaching the camp, I noticed Micah had a Coach Robbery job for me so I went for that first.
I didn't capture the photos of the coach robbery thinking of this theme but now that I used the cinematic bar on all the captures, it became a cinematic coach robbery.
Micah was calling Arthur and Arthur asked what he wants and Micah replied he wants a friend, he wants hope, he wants tomorrow to mean more than today. Micah suggested Arthur to go with him and redistribute some property from the Boles Overland Stagecoach Company.
Micah did sound serious this time so Arthur accepted to do it and as they might need an extra gun, they took along Bill with them and the three of us started riding towards the spot that comes over the river into the swamps North of there.
They had some conversations on their way and one of the best topic was Arthur asking Micah who tipped him about the coach mentioning its better not some O'Driscoll again. Micah said he got the tip spending some money along with amusement and charm.
After reaching the spot, Micah asked us to hide behind the trees as the coach should be there anytime and he went to plant some explosives. Bill hid behind a tree on the right side of Micah and I one the left.
Then Micah started setting the explosives in the road over there so we could blow it as the coach comes over the bridge. We had to stay out of sight but I still ran to my horse as I had to change a weapon, when Micah was setting up the explosives.
Right when Micah was done with setting up the explosives, the coach was coming through the bridge and Micah gave me job to shoot the dynamites when the coach rolls over them.
I did it right but I felt sorry that I exploded the dynamite right when the horses were on them and the poor animals died first though they'd die eventually.
The gunmen of the coach and on guards on other horses started shooting us and I took care of most of them includes the reinforcements that came later.
Then Micah asked me to get inside the coach and get the loot as he got the lead and Williamson's a halfwit. Before looting the coach, I looted the bodies around and then I got total $300, got only $50 as my share as half goes to the gang.
Micah suggested we get out of there and split up but I decided to follow Micah and see where he goes so I started following him but he was too fast to catch.
Suddenly he slowed down and stopped so I caught him. Then Micah was walking his horse slowly so I shot on the ground and speed up the horse.
There was a lady on my way who asked me for a race and I accepted it but it didn't continue as I didn't take the track and abandoned the race. And then I rode to Shady Belle again.
Here I'm finishing the post for today and I'll come talk about more special RDR 2 gaming moments in Gaming Photography.
"The screenshots are my take but properties of Red Dead Redemption 2."
I like the angles of the shots. The horizontal bars make each scene look like a real movie. Best of luck in the contest. Best regards.
