The Greatest Thing You’ll See Today: Michael Barnes Re-Cuts No Russian

Wow. It’s really hard to come up with anything really brilliant to say to introduce this clip. It’s something that just absolutely blew me away and I feel the need to share it with all of you out there. If you’ve played through Modern Warfare 2 then you’ll be able to understand how truly great this re-cut and extended footage from the games “No Russian” level is. If you haven’t, the clip still stands on its own but you might want to at least YouTube the original scene so you can appreciate the level of work that’s gone into this.

My kudos goes out to Michael Barnes who did an absolutely brilliant job of cutting together footage from the game into a machinima that’s Hollywood blockbuster worthy!

WARNING: The scene does contain some VERY violent imagery, probably NSFW.

As someone with a background in professional film editing, that was pretty well done. I also like how he managed to get a more natural "steady cam" effect for his shots. Fantastic work and thought went into that sequence. He'd make a great in game cut scene director.

That was a very good cut of that mission. I liked how they tied in the mission to get him and the actual No Russion mission together.
