Title: Blast From The Past: Welcome To Liberty City
Post by: kaneda on March 03, 2011, 12:08:34 AM: French stunter Swoosh was like one of many shooting stars in the stunting world - he appeared, dazzled and then disappeared in an instant. His second GTA3 vid - Welcome To Liberty City - was a stunning departure from the norm at that time (circa 2006). The idea of stunting in GTA3 would have almost certainly crossed many stunters' minds, but Swoosh was the only one to run with that idea.

One could regard WTLC as the prototype for vids like Tandem and Lagoon - it's only cars, and all types of cars. While the stunts may be regarded as largely mediocre flukes, the feel of the vid (added nicely by GTA3's original look) is undeniable. Swoosh combines accidents, intentional stunts and some fantastic insert shots to create an energetic, unforgettable experience. The choice of music is a fine one, and the editing compliments the soundtrack to near perfection.

While Swoosh may be a name seldom spoken about in the present stunting community, he certainly left an indelible impression...at least on me.

P.S. Forgive the dailymotion link - it's the only place I could dig this one up.

Enjoy Welcome To Liberty City (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x96h6x_swoosh-welcome-to-liberty-city_videogames)

It was a calm piano music video.

EDIT:

Found it on YouTube:
