Detroit: Become Human (The Movie)



I know many of you have been waiting for this one, and so have I. This was one of the games I felt was most deserving to be turned into a movie on my list, but I was worried about how much work it was going to be. I was right. This was my largest project yet! This video is optimized to look best if you watch it on a device that supports HDR youtube, but I put in a lot of work to make sure the SDR grade looks fantastic as well.

For those of you who may be unfamiliar with my work, my goal is to take a video game’s story, and edit it into a movie, designed in a way that can be understood and enjoyed whether you play games or not. A big part of that process is removing as many HUD elements as possible, to give a cleaner, more hollywood like presentation. Those HUD elements can hurt the immersion when watching as a movie, so the more of them I can remove, the better.

I’m proud to say I was able to remove almost every HUD element in the game, with a few exceptions. While there was a setting which reduced HUD distractions very slightly, for the most part, QTEs, dialogue choices, and objective indicators needed to be removed through extensive use of VFX. I ended up creating a total of 822 VFX shots. Post production took 3.5 months straight of working every single day! Under typical gameplay moments, the average time between one VFX shot and the next closest shot was 4 seconds! Based on the typical length of the effects, I estimate that VFX represented approximately 30% of the gameplay, or about 15% of the movie as a whole.

There are a few areas where you might see some leftover HUD elements. These could happen if removal simply wasn’t possible, if the HUD element represented new information or a thought the character had, or in a few cases, I simply missed them, even on rewatches.

This game is obviously a choice based game, so the story you see here is simply my journey through the story. Because there are so many choices that are possible, I had to carefully study the flowcharts and walkthroughs, and play most missions multiple times to get the footage I wanted to assemble my version of the story. Even doing this, I still wasn’t able to get all of my favorite moments, although I tried to craft the best story I could tell, given the limitations.

As always, if you enjoy what you see here, I recommend to support the developers by buying the game if you can. If you also want to support my work, I have a patreon page:

Supporters will gain access to daily updates while I’m working on my movies, and higher tiers also include high quality downloads of all of my movies, in both HDR and SDR, and some other cool stuff too. Another option is the “Super Thanks” button below the video, which can be a great way to support me, and also highlight your comment, and of course, a Youtube Premium subscription will support all of your favorite creators more, and also remove ads, so I highly recommend that. Also, please like, comment, subscribe, and share my movies wherever you can 🙂

    I agree with @thegreatbocaj, I've actually been waiting patiently for a few years since the game came out for someone as talented as you, to create something like this for the world to enjoy. This is a great start for non-gamers to get a chance to see what truly good video games have to offer in terms of story and life-like graphical fidelity.

    It is cinematically cut better than some movies I've seen. All in all, I have zero complaints. Perfect video. Thank you! Subscription and donation earned!

    I think we're definitely on a path where a future alongside androids is imminent. This is a brilliant vision of what things will eventually be. And perhaps beyond this – more of a 'Westward-style' type droid. Where can I send my down payment for the Henry Cavill model?😅

    Hi, I wanted to watch story of this video game but my parents do not appreciate I watching video games or playing them.. so I was not able to watch the story because of the commentary and gameplay in between but you created this as a movie without any gameplay. You did a very clean editing and made good choices in the game. I also did found many videos but they were not as perfectly edited as you did. Thanks a lot and I appreciate this and I am subscribing you right now. Also thank you for making these in episode form.

  8. @4r4n3lm4l74

    i've been wondering how the canon/real story plot of this game SHOULD be. i'm glad to find this video. very interesting. ❤
    however for the Zlatko chapter, i think Kara is supposed to get her memory corrupted, because the scene when she approached Luther, the game developer seemed to make her look calm and innocent like a non-deviant android.

    Ive never seen Connor's reaction to Sumo without learning his name, that "AuGAhHuGh! Easy… dog…!" Was pretty funny, sad you didnt learn his name tho

  11. @archeryan8404

    This was not ANYTHING like the Ending I got. Camped in the streets, I ended with peace, kissed north as Markus, and it moved the president, making armed forces stand down. No war. Love prevailed. But I loved seeing the differences, and there were tons of parts I never saw. Might watch more versions from others now.

  13. @UpdoggWhattt

    As someone who loves cinematic-style playthroughs, I gotta give you your flowers on this one. I’m a quarter of the way through, and I’m extremely impressed by this.

    The devs of this also need to be given their props. Years later and it’s still one of the best looking games out there.

  14. @laviniasnow4494

    Spectacular result! Thank you for the hard work and time put into it.
    Now on the story… It gave me goosebumps. I've never expected for this story to get me emotional. However, it made me emotional to the point of tears. 🥺
    Thank you for uploading such a beautiful story! Up until seeing it mentioned on your channel I didn't know of this game's existence.

  15. @evelynrestrepo590

    Love it ,isc like playing a video game.Pretty cool love the android 👮‍♂️ cop pretty handsome 😍. And the little girl, she was also and android got me there .😊😊❤ It was pretty cool 😎

  17. @Merip1214

    I've seen many versions of this… And yet yours had scenes I hadn't seen before.
    Plus the editing! Amazing.
    Thank you

    I also really like that you had Kara and Alice get captured. It adds so much to the story as a whole

    And I love that song

  18. @Leozky

    this is awesome, thank u so much!!! love the way you've edited all the gameplay. I was looking for something like this.

  21. @SunBunz

    1:54:19 can anyone tell me who this actor is? He looks and sounds SOOO familiar, but I just can’t place it. And he doesn’t have a name, so I don’t know where to look up his character’s performer.

  23. @unknownvibes5683

    i just watch this only for connor and i just like that character more than the main character. FUCKINGPASSWORD

  25. @DamoonShineth

    The [immaterial] Soul is the original Hu(e)Man.

    A machine could never be a immaterial Soul.

    Funny how androids never get them KJV and Quran downloads ….😂

  26. @Kyriakos095

    Damn it's a shame that dev team do not believe in sequels because this game had so much potential and so much things they could use in a sequel

  31. @hammy_007

    Detroit Become Human has so many different routes and story plot. You could have 5 movies with completely different plot line.

  32. @fivestarguy100

    40:45 Anyone notice Todd said "go out and hire an android"? Not "buy" one? Might be overanalyzing there, but that's some interesting wording that I just picked up on.

  38. @ShiraArt24

    oh my godness! This is the best D:BH I have ever watched🌟And you even added a SUBTITLE?! That the best thing=3
