Summary
- YouTuber World of Shrimpy recreated the GTA 6 reveal trailer using LEGO bricks and stop-motion animation.
- Their impressive recreation required over two weeks of "non-stop" work to put together.
One talented Rockstar fan has recreated the Grand Theft Auto 6 reveal trailer using nothing except for LEGO bricks and some monumental effort. Their impressive video recently made the rounds on social media, adding to the list of GTA 6-inspired fan trailers that have emerged online to date.
Following much anticipation, Rockstar shared the first Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer on December 4, offering an early look at its next AAA project. The 90-second promo amassed over 93 million views within 24 hours of its release, thus making history as the most successful non-music video debut on YouTube. Three weeks later, the clip now boasts more than 160 million views, having already inspired numerous high-effort fan recreations.
GTA 6 Trailer Playing Side-by-Side With Grand Theft Auto 5 Highlights the New Game's Massive Upgrades
A newly emerged fan-made video highlights the massive graphical improvements between the reveal trailers for GTA 5 and GTA 6.
The latest such project comes from YouTuber World of Shrimpy, who recently decided to recreate the first GTA 6 trailer using LEGO bricks and stop-motion animation. The final result of their creative endeavor is a remarkably authentic rendition of the original clip that is still scored to the sounds of Tom Petty's 1989 classic Love is a Long Road utilized by the original GTA 6 trailer. Aside from some mouth movements and a few backgrounds that have seemingly been edited into the footage, the entire trailer consists of still images of LEGO sets and figurines that required meticulous positioning between each frame.
The trailer was hence no easy feat to create, with World of Shrimpy confirming as much. Specifically, the YouTuber has recently taken to Reddit to reflect on their latest achievement, revealing that this LEGO recreation of the GTA 6 trailer required "just over two weeks" of "non-stop" work to put together. Dozens of fans have already praised their effort on social media, describing the video as everything from "absolutely incredible" to "perfect."
I have been working on this non-stop since it dropped, so just over two weeks straight.
World of Shrimpy also put together a side-by-side comparison of the GTA 6 trailer and their LEGO take on the video, making it even easier to appreciate the attention to detail that went into the making of this stop-motion animation. The clip itself surfaced online shortly before another talented fan recreated the entire Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer in GTA 5.
Seeing how the game itself is still over a year away from release, it's likely that this won't be the last impressive GTA 6-inspired fan trailer to make the rounds on social media. If GTA 5 is any indication, Rockstar will treat the fandom to several more promo clips before its next game hits the market, all of which are likely to inspire more fan-made content of this sort.
