Beyond: Two Souls (The Movie) [Chronological Order]



NOTE: The original version I uploaded had a problem where nearly 20 minutes of the video was a black screen towards the middle of the movie. This version fixes that problem.

Thank you for waiting, but my Beyond: Two Souls movie is finally done! The reason for the long wait is because of a few reasons:

#1 – The length. The game is practically an interactive movie itself, so not as much could be cut, like with my other movies.

#2 – The visual effects. 200 visual effects shots were used in total.

#3 – I had less free time than I was expecting. Me and my brother decided to rewatch Veronica Mars and 24 in anticipation of both of their returns, so I didn’t have as much free time as I thought I would.

The biggest things I had to do while editing this movie were the visual effects. This game is very cinematic in nature, but often uses on screen button prompts. As I wanted this to be a movie like experience, I decided to completely eliminate all button prompts, as well as the game save indicator. This resulted in a total of 200 visual effects shots. If I did my work well, you shouldn’t notice 99% of those shots unless you know exactly where those button prompts should be. One or two of the shots may be noticeable though, as a couple shots were very difficult to fix.

As I mentioned, the game is pretty much an interactive movie to begin with. Normally I include most of the cutscenes, and make most of my cuts to the gameplay itself. The problem is, there isn’t much “gameplay” in the traditional sense, so there isn’t much I can cut. The biggest cuts I made were to Aiden’s gameplay. For the most part I cut straight to the actions Aiden performed, and tried to cut out as much of the blue orbs you see as Aiden, as those are practically button prompts themselves. There were a few shots where I was unable to remove them.

For Jodie I removed all the white orbs, and all the dialogue prompts. I also tried to cut a lot of Jodie moving from location to location, unless seeing that movement felt important to the scene. For the most part I left the dialogue intact, although there were a few places where I cut lines or adjusted their order. Remember, this game is affected by choice, so what you’re seeing here is just *my* version of the story. If you play the game yourself, the outcomes will be slightly different.

There may be some versions of this movie that are shorter, but I still feel my version is better. First of all, you probably won’t see the visual effects work I did on any of the others. Secondly, I feel like my editing style is probably better for the story. While I try to cut as much as I possibly can, I do so while maintaining a strong continuity, pacing, and character development. There are certain things some editors might cut, but to me, those would create plot holes, or the editing would feel jarring. This movie needs to be accessible to people who haven’t played the game, or who don’t play video games at all. It needs to feel as much like a real movie as possible, and for me, that requires the movie to be 5 hours unfortunately.

If the length is an issue, there are 4 acts I would split the movie into:

Act 1: Growing Up – 0:00:00
Act 2: The CIA – 1:09:00
Act 3: On the Run – 2:00:08
Act 4: The Return – 3:38:48

Any of those spots are good stopping points.

As for future movie ideas, currently I have 5 ideas planned:

Batman: Arkham Knight
The Last of Us: Left Behind
Batman: Arkham Origins
Assassin’s Creed: Freedom Cry
Assassin’s Creed: Liberation

As Arkham Knight won’t be released until October, Left Behind is most likely my next movie, which will probably be quite short compared to my other movies, since it’s just a DLC story. I *was* considering Infamous: Second Son before release, but I just played that game, and while it’s a great game, I just don’t feel like it would fit the movie format well. The cutscenes are great, but they are too few and far between for it to really work in movie format imo. The next potential idea is Watch Dogs, but it all depends on story, presentation, and length. I have a feeling it may have the same problem as GTA V. GTA V was great, but was too long and wasn’t really a single story. It was multiple stories stringed together (although it might work as a series instead of movie).

    Thank you for this. I remember seeing this as an ad years ago and thought it was a movie. But was so sad I couldn't watch it and stumbled upon this video.. Thanks to you I was able to watch like a movie and I was hooked! I cried so hard, there were so many twist and turns and the end had me in shambles. Can't wait to see the 2nd one if there is another game. Thanks again for your amazing effort to create this. You made my year and 2020 has been pretty crappy, so thank you🙏❤

    Just found your channel and gonna tell my friends how amazing the cinematic movies you create are! The work you do is exceptional and I look forward to seeing more as you put them out👍👍👍👍

    Why couldn't Iden bring the boys father back to life or give Jodie the ability to speak & understand multiple languages? Wouldn't she learn languages in the "3 letter" agency? This whole story fascinates me! I'm hooked!

    Im Playing the game on the Chronogical order and i see that People put in Night Session and Haunting at the Begging Rather than at the end. For my opinion at the end is Better so there Isnt any "Spoilers" but Prolouge and Broken they Should the way they Should. Prolouge at the Beginning and Broken in the Middle. Gotta be.

    I am at a loss for words. This video was even better than the other ones I have watched. They are better to watch than the real world ones. I just love them and will watch every single one of them until there are no more to view. Definitely 10 out of 10 for this one. 😊 thank you. xx

    Hi Andy. I just finished watching this wonderful movie you made. It was exciting and had me on the edge of my seat. I can't wait for your next film. This movie is so different I don't know how to give the utterance it deserves. I never lost interest one second. I am 65 years old and I've seen many movies. You have accomplished a great work of art. Thank you.

    She can control people but not dogs. She kills people or it does and she kills “warlord” and vomits? Just inconsistent she hates Ivan but needs him. She heals boy but can’t heal her own leg? I like it, it’s not your fault for the interesting script. I will just tolerate it, it is a game and regardless it is interesting. I’ll see where it goes. Ok she can control Ivan but not when she gets caught it doesn’t make any sense. He lost an eye and then she gets Ivan back.

    This is so well made, it didn't feel like a video game at all at any moment. Amazing work! Great story!

  27. Rut Brea

    Why make movies like this? Is there any reason? Anyone goes though the same situation in this planet?

    I remember playing this game and the whole time I kept thinking…this is on PS3???? Game looks great

    I kind of wish there was at least a jog option, after playing it 2 times, it got kind of boring having to walk most of the whole time. It's still a great game, even a decade later.

    Every time I give birth I watch theses video game “movies” I’m in labor for over a day and can’t sleep at all due to the excitement and pain, but this always takes my mind off of it and allows me to relax and allows the time to go by faster.

    Thank you so much for uploading this. Only heard of this game today as the "date" scene came up on fb, and I became hooked on finding out more. Am only 1 hour in so this must have taken forever to put together! But I am really grateful 🙏 😊

    Too bad we actually can't go back in time to Elliott Page's childhood and get her the help that she needs for her body dysmorphia.
