Those of you who have been playing GTA Online for a while and who also keep an eye on the Rockstar Newswire, will know that it has become something of a tradition to host snapmatic competitions whenever a new DLC is released.
Snapmatic is an app found on the in-game smartphone allowing players to create screenshots or even "selfies" of their characters while playing. Like the real-life counterpart on which the fantasy app is based on, Snapmatic allows players to apply various filters to their photos in order to achieve different visual effects.
"But wait" I hear you say. "Why are we talking about Snapmatic when even the winners of the Cunning Stunts Snapmatic competition have already been announced?". Well, you're absolutely right. What we are here to show you are the winning entries of the GTA Online #CEO Rockstar Editor video contest.
Ever since the Rockstar Editor, GTA 5's in-built gameplay recording and editing suite, was launched on current-gen consoles, making it a PC exclusive no longer, both we and players have been suggesting that the devs adopt the tradition of hosting Editor contests alongside Snapmatic contests whenever a new DLC was released.
Well, it seems our pleas did not fall on deaf ears. Soon after the release of the massive Further Adventures in Finance and Felony DLC, which added the warehouse and crate system to GTA Online, Rockstar announced the #CEO video contest, which had entrants create videos — strictly without the use of mods — that best conveyed what that update was all about.
Much time has passed since, but finally the winners have been announced. We're sure you too will be impressed with the videos selected by Rockstar. We've often featured well-made fan videos on this site, so it should come as no surprise that there are several talented budding film-makers in the community.
First up we have the winner of the grand prize itself. Titled "Sellin' Dope" (because obviously), the video shows both the luxurious side of being a crooked CEO, as well as those times where you need to work hard and take a few bullets in order to fill your office with stacks of bills. Created by Bill Benedict, this video is pretty much all you can expect from the brief: it shows off the wealth of a CEO with many of the new vehicles seen in Finance and Felony, as well as some action sequences taken from a Buy mission.
