Death By Drummer ...While Drumming! (if the other video doesnt load for you)
updated
And wow, that was a long grind! The setup is not exactly hard, but to capture the most lethal variant in a cinematic way required some days. Enjoy!

What I spent much time on is selecting the music. I have a fairly large collection but no track really fit what I was looking for. But I had a rough idea so I looked up a band that is nailing that style and took the opportunity to listen to all the albums I did not check so far.
Naturally making the video and the audio work that well together also took some time but that was worth it!
Enjoy! :)

Analogik - Te Pobeat
The kill is not that crazy but I think that usage of the environment is unique enough. :) Also teaches you a trick I rarely see players using.
Music: Bielebny - Walkin On A Black HOle
Oh right! We got Elusive Targets again! And Sapienza is always a source of ideas. And this one was no exception. Just sadly, it was not fully successful. Watch the entire video to see all details! :)
PS: I make fun of the lightning of inside vs outside the cave but I have to be fair I edited it a bit when inside the cave to make max gamma settings not wash the image out. So it is actually even worse. :(
Also by the way, I still need to improve the recording quality after a fresh Windows install, sorry for it being a bit blurry.

First things first, thanks Fuzk for giving me that account! Using the slow-motion tool kinda broke Ansel and I lost recordings on my usual alt account.It took me some days until I made it work. Which alone is quite a job to do.
Anyway, the first idea of using parrots came to me shortly after the ET ended the first time. I noticed that parrots coming from a bush on the bridge to Delgado's main entrance can push 47 a little to the side.
Which means: Parrots have a hitbox.
Which means: You can stick things on them!
I just recently noticed these particular parrots in my video here are ideal candidates as, depending on how you approach them, you can make them bump the wall to stick a taser on them - or make them fly to the village.
Plus some RNG blessing and waiting for them to respawn once every 5 mins after they did not fly how you want them to made this a piece of cake!
Have fun!
I currently do a lot non-Hitman stuff so upcoming ETs might not all get fancy videos. I let the Stowaway slip so I can get him with my main when the time comes. He surely will not get away, promised. :D
(spot the body pile)
The green domino collides with the red one. The Laser Tripwire aims on the red one and is triggered once that happens.
Wow that perfect laser tripwire spot. Interesting that nobody hears it in that corner.
I took a long time to think of what to do with her. While it ended in being a classic "place target near propane and something sets it off", I am quite happy of the result. See ya! :)
Did you know crowd NPCs are triggering the RFID mine? Do you know how long it takes to find that out? :P Also tried for a long time to create a void within them and keep him concious No chance.
Ended up doing a kill party. The hard part was you can't change out of the disguise or else you lose the make-up. And to keep the room empty I had to kill all roaming guards. And once I was spotted, I was too suspicious to do the walk. Zomg.
What is important is that you shoot spots in the ceiling that only one guard hears each time.
At the end you see how I made him following me. Just make him see a weapon and pick it up when he is turning but still seeing you. Though there are some better videos to learn this trick.
You might notice this is an alt and the score screen misses my modded image. Long story short I had to reinstall a lot of stuff and while I forgot to add the modded images I also forgot to set up my recording software again. I did the same thing on my main and noticed I was not recording. Bleh. At least it was not because some mission failure this time!
A whole different challenge was to KO four people on that floor and set everything up while this guy with questionable fashion style is following you.
But fine by me, I like how everything went together now! Also great we have a proper freecam mod now. :) (Ansel required)

Analogik - Hov
To aim at the right spot I installed a software that puts a light pixel near a lower corner. This way I can "aim" at a specific part of the map that I tested before.
Extra points who can spot the pixel. :D
This time his hacking skills are not that needed really, he found a more conventionally method to do the trick.
Sadly I died on my main account. I played the ET, tested around and forgot that was not the main Icon mission. Welp, can only blame myself for this. I hope I still have some air to unlock all stuff in the future.
Good for you, my alt stepped in to make this video. Have fun. :)
Music: Dreamcoast - Miami at Night
I am sitting on this idea since some time before HITMAN 2. But back then there were no Micro Explosives. So the idea way to put C4 on it and make the vendor move away with it before the guard arrives to pick it up.
But the future is here and everything got fancy and smart! Except this is still an old, dusty phone. No matter the upgrades. Have fun!

Also, the next day after recording the run, I found out the audio was lost. So my solution: Make it a silent movie! I am quite lucky the concept was working just right for that idea. Have fun!

Kevin MacLeod - Onion Capers
So...yay. :) The drone is mine! Don't expect a fancy GuLe-like unpacking vid though, but maybe I do something with it.
But if you are the most creative, you get a drone. I am not that much interested in it, but an official contest for the most creative strat? I want to win that!
I don't have to get SA, still I made sure to keep the complications (Never Spotted + No Bodies Found) and limit the non-target only to Dawood Rangan.
Boy this was way too complicated and lengthy to be redone like half a dozen times when something went wrong. Glad I got that finished.
What the chain did:
1. Rangan gets killed by the Kashmirian
2. Rangan falls back onto the painting behind him
3. His body triggers the ICA Laser Tripwire
4. The explosion pushes the sparking battery
5. The FE's position limits and directs the push to the outside
6. Battery ignites the pile of propane tanks and targets
I found the song in the game files, with every instrument being one file. So I could make an instrumental version of it. :) Maybe I make a remix as well some day? I have some ideas...
Music: Kid Koala - Like Irregular Chickens
And no, this is not Silent Assassin. :P
While recording some more clips for the video I managed to kill myself with the C4. I should really try to be not that sloppy. Or at least try to not do stuff where I easily die. Luckily for you, you still get this video. Bad for me, I have to wait longer for the Paris, Sapi and Blood Money suit.
Anyway, see ya next time! :D
Music: Luis Bacalov - Django (instrumental)
Thanks to Notex for pretty much making the game unplayable. Aesthetically speaking. I reduced the resolution to 640x360 in hope the pixels are less washed out from the codec. It more or less worked.
The mod replaces all textures with... well nothing. Everything turns black, however the black textures get replaced with glitches over time, other information that creep into their place. No idea exactly what is going on, but I had to use it for this ET.
I guess IOI won't feature this? Lmao
Also RIP my main account which died in gunfire.
Music: Tokyo Rose - Blood Oath (feat. WVLFPAKT)
I want to note it was extreme luck to do that with only one shot. I made sure to have full ammo because it previously took several dozen shots for the lamp to finally hit the right spot. That plus the way the ET was lying on the glass was just perfect.
Cheers!

I did not like to bypass the ET rule to not restart after doing objectives much, but with this secondary objective (especially if I want to do it before the kill) I had to do it so I can still deliver this video. The legit players among you hopefully forgive me for that! :P
Have fun! :)

Thanks Roy-ARJ for recreating it!
I am glad all worked out so smoothly. I tested it first with the NPCs around the tunnel. NPCs seem to not set off the trap so I had to help a little.

Start was not perfect, could be a second or two better, but determining for sub1min is the reaction of the guards outside.
I have to confess though it was just... uh semi-SA. Currently there is a bug you get spotted by frontal throw-KOs. Still I got the SA challenge so I just claim this is SA. Don't @ me.

I bet this messes up quite some post-race mechanics. Did not notice something though. Interestingly you cannot end the race as a race marshal when the world model is dead.
I don't see use in this though for serious speedrun attempts, you can kill her legitly from that area by just shooting her car. Moses Lee stands next to her by the way, I would just have to stand in the main security room to have a line of sight on him.
Strat is not that special but I promise to come up with something crazy when a certain bug gets fixed. :-)

Would have been a bit more nice if I placed the FE before the shots, but I can hardly predict where it lands.

The second target is a bit RNG as he likes to stand in front of the entrance and not going in. If he goes in it is not very hard but one has to take care of all guards who are with him. Sometimes he is alone, sometimes there are three. One has to improvise. Here, one is enough for me, went pretty smoothly. :)
Contract by youtube.com/channel/UCjYH0l5NXJ7080q1gZcb6NA
I learned that this animation has some hard RNG.
While testing with a saved game I had maybe 2.4% success. I gave up finding a better positioning and began grinding the ET.
As you might notice, what I should do after the kill was not part of my testing. After some hours of trying, getting it to work was much more important than getting SA. Also, it makes the video more fun!

I named that map feature "Spyhole" myself as I stumbled on it during the creation of a contract it is included. After that contract got featured, it's title can be used as the name I think.
I have no real ideas with the ET's atm. I might do something on the next ones. The other two I missed here so far... well they surely will be reactivated again some day. :)
I considered to make it Headshot only so one has to use the Bartoli from the soldier. But hitting two heads on this distance sounded a bit too much. Also it is possible to kill the target with multiple Silverballer headshots instead so the Striker and therefor the Bartoli is not needed at all.
I picked this title as one has to KO the two at the beginning the old fashioned way. One has the time anyway. Hiding the bodies is sometimes needed as guards show up there very fast if RNGesus wants.
But this project turned out more big than planned at first. So it became a fancy movie!
Because it fits the idea I want to make a little ad for @internetofshit who proves that it is often a stupid idea to connect modern devices to the Internet.
Sorry if the chatlines are too fast. I fear you have to watch the video multiple times then heheheh... Or watch it at half speed.
