DESCRIPTION:
Battlefield is known for massive moments of scale. Destruction, online operations, and war stories. The trailers are meticulously crafted - from cinematics to online gameplay where every player is an actor that is being directed to do a specific action. But what would it be like if you didn’t coordinate anything? Could something created entirely from random multiplayer matches - with no players aware their actions were being filmed - still deliver an original story with emotional weight?
And finally, how good could you make that look? This was the challenge I took on in this short film, where all footage, editing, narration, writing, VFX, sound mixing, and title sequences are original. This is unscripted gameplay. This is Battlefield.
If you played Battlefield 1 or Battlefield V anytime in December or January, you may be in this.
Full disclosure: My day job is making professional game trailers. I wanted to challenge myself, and I was also in a really emotional state when it came to both world wars, and the horrific events that took place. The pain I was feeling was strong and I wanted to make that into something. This is the result.

Will the Battlefield franchise hire this guy already?! DICE PLEASE!
Much more cheaper
Why, so they can pay him to force feed women in his trailers? #nothanks
Imagine if this guy made the battlefield 5 reveal
This is a question for EA's wallet
@@jackdaniel6644 Exactly! Their salary is usually not that high compared to the most of the other branches of the film / video branch
What's so appealing here is that it's showing actual gameplay.

and what makes it even better is when u play, this stuff actually happens exactly like this
Many trailers do this nowadays. Its kinda expected at some point to see an "actual gameplay" trailer.
Imagine going back in time 20 years and showing gamers that this is what the future of gaming will look like.

Even if some old games are better than newer ones, battlefield 1 is the exception.

That BF1 soundtrack is something else.
It's one of the best things ever to come out of my speakers while gaming.
@Apocalypse YT yeah. Under no flag is so damn epic

People complain about bug, balance, political and cultural agendas and micro transactions. But at the end of the day they fail to for even just a moment appreciate what we today get to experience as gamers.
This video for 8 minutes and 40 seconds sets that all aside and for a few fleeting moments shows what modern gaming really is at its core.
I have been gaming for 30 years, and as a young child sliding in a Nintendo cartridge into my NES for the first time could have never imagined the beauty games could one day produce.

lol you are so right!
is a damm good trailer , i don't play the game anymore but the game looks so beautiful , i just cant stand EA anymore. The game needs content badly , grand operations is worse than BF1 how can they achieve this , what a downgrade , but this is my opinion don't be salty about it.

Look, I don't even play Battlefield, but this showed up in my recommended section, and in all my years watching War cinematics from small content creators, Triple A Games, or even War movies, I have never found an art form so powerful, conveying the suffering, yet beauty in war. Hands down most favorite film.

War. War is in my blood. From my great great grand uncle, Alexander Kerensky (WW1) to my great grandpa in WW2, my grandpa in Vietnam. And my high ranking uncle. For 100 plus years now I carry that blood in me. Some fought for the right side, some fought for the wrong. Some lost their families, some gained theirs. War will end only when the last being is gone.

AlphaGaming2007 I’m surprised I saw no stupid tanks in planes or whatever lol
I won't lie, this got me emotional. Go figure. Hundreds if random people who just decided to play the game made better trailer players than DICE themselves. That just shows the dedication of the players. Amazing video nether the less. It's beautiful.
Trailers like the Battlefield V Devastation of Rotterdam and Battlefield 1 Reveal Trailer are a hundred times better than this and they are also actual trailers, unlike this which is a short film.
Thomas fuck no, those trailers are dog shit. This short film is 10x better and made Battlefield V look good
@@MrNotsoperfect2 rly? I thought everyone loved bf1's trailer.
help me plz I I’m not talking about Battlefield 1, I’m only referring to BFV

This is a masterpiece, and its just a game being played normally
I know I’m a year late but I just wanted to say that this made me emotional and I don’t even play Battlefield. I feel like I witnessed the work of a master. Thank you Gage Allen.

The narration and the music made me feel something I hadn't felt in a long time. Thank you for this.
This is the best Battlefield media I've ever seen. This should be shown in classrooms across the globe.
please show the world this trailer
Doing anything in battlefield 1 feels like you're in a movie that's why I love this game
4 years after this video, i was thinking maybe i was a player in one of the games. god it saddens me that all i got now is UA-cam to show me memories. it used to feel like i belong with my comrades.
Love it. Made me cry and think of my great grandfather was served in the secon world war.

You sometimes forget the beauty of Battlefield One
I remember it was my very last game before I uninstalled it. I was playing as the French on Rapture and it was the final sector, Sector Four. We were being demolished the entire game, each sector being taken with very little resistance by the Germans. But that Fourth Sector...That's when things changed. I was on the Langer Max Gun by the railroads on Objective A, being reinforced by about half my team. The rest of them were holding B as best as they could. I remember the German team charged down the hill, but they weren't getting close. That Langer Max Gun I was on was being used to great effect, mostly targeting vehicles such as tanks. When there weren't any tanks or what have you, I'd turn my attention to infantry.
They brought out artillery trucks, staying just outside of my range, pounding away at my big ass gun. Once it was destroyed, I joined those on Objective A. That's when the tide seemed to turn to the German's favor, storming onto A and B.
We were fighting by the skin of our teeth. The German Team fought with a ferocity I had never seen before in Battlefield One. We returned the sentiment, "Ils ne passeront pas" (They shall not pass, like when it was used in French history, most famously in the Battle of Verdun. And what the DLC is named after) sort of deal. We fucking pushed them back to the trenches, just outside of A.
We bloody fucking won that game! Just barely too, as the German Team fought like lions. All we were able to do at the end was make it a battle of attrition. I will always remember this match of Operations. It was the most fun I've ever had in Battlefield One, and I'm glad that it was my final game before I finally put it to rest...
If survival isn’t a reason to fight, than fight for progress. You’ll find it grows as slowly as you do.
Beautiful... Just Beautiful... Simply, Utterly, Amazingly... Beautiful...
Can they just make a WW1 battlefield again cause it honestly was my favorite
I think BF1 was an absolute masterpiece, it doesn't need remaking 😍
I think they should remake BFV.
@@abdel2894
If BFV was even half of what BF1 was, it would have been a great game
@@averyuncreativeperson1573 well said 😂😂
ab0od Definitely the most immersive game I have ever played. I really hate that the player base is low
I say bring back back the popularity of BF1 by coming back to it and releasing more dlcs. Bf5 doesnt hit my ❤ if u know what i mean.
Thank you JackFrag for telling us about this, Amazing!
@Tara Medrano That means 600 people wanted to thank Jack.
This has a special place in my heart where nothing else can go. If i had to i could recite each and every line down to the letter.
This had me nostalgic, this had me hurt, this had me cry. Fucking loved this game, I'll come back to this short film anytime and all the time. Great job man!
came from reddit/battlefieldV, honestly cinema performance right here!
Ea, hire this guy for marketing. Got damn thats a beautiful game trailer!
He works for a game trailer production company. This is already his job.
Extremely Awesome
Salute to all Soldiers out their.
You are the true heroes.
Its takes a team of people to bring an American athlete out of the court bcuz he has a cramp but a American soldier shot in the neck fought for 90 min till he died. America can live without the American athlete but not the soldiers who protects them
Today's soldiers fight for the industry of War rather than a noble cause. Most of whom fight because of their nation making it compulsory, or the soldier is in an adverse enough background that taking up arms is one of the few ways out.
Historically, there's nothing heroic about wars, outside of the rare outliers. And even those outliers are due to actions in prior wars.
@@de132 There is nothing heroic about wars. But there is about the people who fight in them/
@@asherhayes2429 There are no heroes. Only victims
No matter how many times I'm going to rewatch this video I just wanna say that I wish I was a developer so I can give you credit for this masterpiece like for real dude I really love this art work and time that you give to this ❤❤
Honestly the best sends shivers down your back and tells you “war is awful”
@Ved Kolambkar Indeed, its in our human behavior. There will always come a time where we encounter violence
War is when young people risk they lives on the battlefield so that the old guys sitting at home can wear more medals on their chest.
@ wow, that’s the most accurate explanation

@@PlayerOneStories the hard work payed off! Id love to see more and im sure im not alone on this!
This was filmed in a few random match,so we can officially say that someone was teabagging in the background

@@PlayerOneStories Wow, myself and many others are very honored that you made this video. Indeed a very powerful message in this masterpiece. You made my night. Thank you Gage Allen
This video brings the beauty out of Battlefield 1. The matches in BF1 get so intense that you forget your in a game as you're too busy trying to stay alive while also attempting to comprehend what's going on around you. God bless those who fought in WW1 and WW2. No matter if they're Russian, American, French, British, German, Japanese or Italian. They all fought for what they believed in and for those who they loved, so that they can see a brighter future. The leaders might've been corrupt, but the soldiers, they fought for those they care for. It's a damn shame today's generation throw away the sacrifices these soldiers made for us.
My grandfather was one number away from being sent to D-Day when i showed him this he cried
The very whimsical trex did you explain the game to him?
Bull shit
Ptsd be like
Oh no i can already see the comments
This is so underrated guys can we hit 5 mil next month?
yes
Sadly not
Actually brought tears to my eyes, thank you
The creation of Battlefield is the perfect example of when Devs put all of their Love, Time, and Effort into a game.
Words cant articulate the raw emotion I just went through watching this beautiful video for the first time. I didn't know at the time, that this beloved game would be a part of my life for 7 years and counting. Watching this video, truly makes me feel at peace. We dedicated thousands of hours to this game and it was worth every second. The music will always live on in my heart! Also, I want to thank the man who created this for us, Gage Allen. Thank you for being inspired enough to do this for us.
See you at 5 million views next month mate
Not gonna happen
But he deserves it
I am Brazilian and my great grandfather was in World War II, I never knew him, but my grandmother said that he was incredible, a man who sacrificed everything to fight a war that was not his, she said that he was what we know as heroes, as our examples of life. This video was incredible, I was shivering seeing him, congratulations to the work, incredible work !!!
Smonkey Moura FEB 💪🏼🇧🇷🐍 🚬
Aint gonna believe this is battlefield without players who trickshots can be seen
That part starting at 6:10 will forever and always give me chills
Edit: and the end. the silence is deafening.
Best thing I’ve seen in a while regarding the Battlefield franchise.
wow amazing. good job.
I'd say Battlefield 1 is one of the most intense game I've played. I Salute Dice for a well refined game.
This is actually bf1 and bfv mix
Chaotic Massachusett yes I know. But BF1 still has the better quality for me.
Beautiful video and it saddens me in knowing that people only see the bad in these games and not the beauty in them and the community
on the oppisite, it saddens me in knowing that people won't see all the lies behind such beauty. Gaming will always stay art. Stay beautiful. Sad to see most people just going blind while they are getting fucked over again by the same guys who very well know about their actions...Every coin has two sides.
“So beautiful it could bring a tear to a jaded gamer’s eye”
To the Air Force vet, his voice was amazing. Aim High!
Very well done. I immediately thought of my grandmother telling me stories about my great grandfather fighting the Germans in Russia in WW2 and the pillow on the wall in her room that had all his medals. 6 of them.
Why is this way better than any game trailer I've ever seen?
Rest in piece Battlefield. (ruined by greed)
4 years passed and I always visit this video... this master piece
when a game can play like the trailer, you know its a good game
Song starts playing:
Ah yes.. Chills
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever watched. The purest love letter to Battlefield. Almost brought a tear to my eye, the memories I've had with this franchise over the years with my friends still stick with me. I've always had a difficult time explaining to some why I loved Battlefield so much, this is it.
Thank you!
I’m surprised no one has reacted to this on UA-cam yet.
Because it's underrated video maybe?
I’m surprised this has low views!?
Battelfield 1 is the most greatest war game ever in gaming history 🙏🏻🤍
This film made me feel so enthusiastic for what could have been in the new game, I wish they had hired someone like you to do the marketing campaign -this trailer was breathtaking in all the right places.
Damn that was awesome. DICE should hire this guy ASAP, put him in charge of marketing
Incredible that we could have been in these shots
Amazing, brings a tear to my eyes. My brother and i always played together but he is now in heaven. Well done

I remember my dad told me stories about the battle in Narvik, this cinematic made me think about those stories again. Simply amazing video.
I'd really appreciate it if you could share it here
I know I’m like 10 months late but this video is just so beautiful. This sent as much chills down my spine as “goodbye battlefield 1.” This cinematic just had me remembering every experience I had in those direct places you showed
I used this for my drama tryouts and I think my director cried
God damm this was beautiful and well made even when all the footage was just random gameplay. Good Good Job my sir
This ain't an art work, it's a master piece
this is the third youtube video ive seen that is better than EA marketting. awesome work.
Had me on that Feels train all the way through. Amazing job! Pure Gold.
Its hard when playing these types of games that these places we as players fight in were actual nightmares of tbose who fought for all of us. Battlefiled 1 was definitely one of those games to remind of that
It's been 2 years and I still periodically watch this
This is phenomenal, I'm lost for words, I can't think of any way this could have been better, wow. The narration, music, gameplay it's all so fitting. Thank you.
Who would even dare to dislike this masterpiece??
This is so amazing. I have to admit that i cried like a little baby when watching this.
This just shows how cinematic this game is
