Hollywood has accustomed us with film products taken from comics and video games (latest example is the recent Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time due out May 28 of 2010 in our country), in which our beloved heroes come to life and face challenges sometimes have already seen or experienced in our hours of play. Less common, however, is that a production company to produce a real video game short film. Assassin's Creed Lineage , however, goes beyond that, leaving the banks of the label of mere product advertising and ended up being a totally new and innovative product, which probably opens a new window on the world of video games, a perfect fusion of cinema and video games. Produced by Hybride Technologies (una casa di produzione di effetti visivi assorbita qualche anno fa dalla Ubisoft), Assassin's Creed Lineage è un vero e proprio film diretto dal regista canadese Yves Simoneau. Canadese anche il cast, nonostante siano stati cercati attori di origini italiane. La storia è un prologo del videogame Assassin's Creed II (in uscita il 20 novembre) e ruota attorno all' Assassino Giovanni Auditore , padre del protagonista del gioco, Ezio. L'intera trama è disponibile su Wikipedia , ma vi consiglio di vedere il film direttamente qui sotto, naturalmente in HD:
The film was developed in parallel to video games and shot in the studio on green screen: the locations have been accurately reproduced from those of the game (obviously with a more photorealistic rendering), as well as in the game have been used the faces and movements of the actors in the film, recorded by motion capture . Between October and November, UbiSoft has released the film in three segments of ten minutes each, then post the complete movie.
The film, along with a behind the scenes video will be broadcast in HD then the next Nov. 19 on Discovery Channel at 22.
