Yes, I am a fan of the Upright Citizens Brigade, so yes, I call them mini-movies.

Here we see a Youtube user kitty076 piecing together quite the story using GTA IV’s game engine and Liberty City as the setting. It’s called “GTA IV: The Salesman Ultimatum”. Coming in at 15 minutes, it’s quite the tale.

The author describes the video as:

In this feature film, a salesman (who happens to be a biker) wants to sell his goods to the various citizens of Liberty City to feed his striving family. However, when a mafia boss refuses his offer of his goods, the boss ends up sleeping with the fishes, brought down by the salesman’s hand. As the salesman goes about his business, including a random encounter with his clone(s), the mafia hires a hitman to take him out. During this ferocious chain of events, a fellow Liberty City police officer gets involved with the mess, adding insult to injury. Why can’t the salesman be such a nice guy? Because he’s a badass, you bitch.

Also, kitty076 went so far as to include some cool behind the scenes fun facts about the mini-movie (probably best to read AFTER you watch the video):

- The introduction’s voicework was ripped straight from Mafia. Gotta love that game, brah.
- The game Brucie was playing was Jet Grind Radio for the Sega Dreamcast.
- The song by “Parking Out” is pretty hard to find (it was for me), as it is a very underrated Japanese punk band.
- The scene that took the longest to perfect was when the hitman was following the salesman through the crowd. The reason being is because in multiplayer you cannot walk in the PC version with a keyboard, so it had to be made in single-player while I spawned a walking salesman and followed him as the hitman, making the scene as much to my interest as possible.
- DID YOU KNOW - That the salesman is seen at the very end of The Coffee Mugger?
- I could really care less about a plot and common sense in these kinds of films, I just find it fun making action movies.
- The video was going to be rendered in HDR lighting, but due to technical difficulties it had to be rendered as it is, with an added soft blur around the edges of the film.
- If you know what game I was inspired by to make the tiny “8 years later” part, then you are considered “cool”.
- Notice how in some parts of the movie, objects tend to “flicker”. Isn’t that neat?
- And no, I couldn’t fit in a bonus scene this time. Too bad.
