Sometimes it’s hard to grasp numbers when they’re so large, like the number of fallen soldiers and civilians who died in World War II.

Filmmakers and directors love nothing more than referencing other movies and fictional works, but sometimes it can be hard for the viewer to spot, especially if you’re not a total cinephile.

VFX wizards CorridorDigital have created a very accurate real-world version of GTA V, right down to the camera movement and angles as it travels through the IRL locations that inspired some of the places in Los Santos.
