While not technically in the criteria for the kinds of projects I post here, I do want to share a
video on YouTube I made for GTA Online: Cayo Perico Heist.
To give context, I was listening to a playlist on YouTube and this specific track from HITMAN 3 (2021), composed by Niel Bye Nielsen (the specific mix is by Salem on YouTube), played as I did a run. It fit the atmosphere so well, I decided to restart the heist and play the track over. This is the end result.
In the context of HITMAN 3, Agent 47 is on the run from the ICA and he has to go to a nightclub outside of Berlin to help an acquaintance from being killed by ICA agents looking for her. The ICA know Agent 47, and they are also hunting for him. The Apex Predator versus a shadowy criminal organization. Niels Bye Nielsen did a phenomenal job capturing the atmosphere of the circumstances into music, which also comes very reminiscent of Jesper Kyd's work.
The atmosphere of being in such a hostile environment is also very fitting for GTA Online's Cayo Perico Heist. You infiltrate a drug lord's private island and steal his riches, ranging from cash, to weed, cocaine, gold ingots, paintings, to some of his most prized possessions, like a diamond necklace, or in the case of my playthrough, bearer bonds. After I leave the compound, a Huey helicopter equipped with machine guns searches for me, which I believe adds to the tension alongside everyone on the island knowing that a theft occurred.
