Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag, Defy



Adam Berg and MPC create a monumental film for Assassin's Creed ‘Black Flag’ with Sid Lee Paris

Ships burn and men are mercilessly slain in this brutal film for the launch of Assassin's Creed IV, Black Flag. The 90” film, conceived by Sid Lee, will be released in cinemas and on television throughout multiple markets, promoting the hugely popular game to a global audience.

Stink director Adam Berg teamed up with MPC for the trailer, which seamlessly blends epic live action with complex VFX techniques across the full range of disciplines within MPC.

The ambitious project harnessed impressive set builds, including a to-scale ship and a 3,000 cubic metre water tank, as well as a cast of around 100 stunt men.
