Ubisoft have released a ‘Behind the Scenes’ live action trailer for Assassins Creed 4: Black Flag that shows some of the hard work put in by the development team as they make their live action feature as authentically accurate as possible for the key historical period setting.  Below is the trailer and the official details for this feature trailer straight from Ubisoft.

To capture the true values of the brand: authenticity, idealism, and exploration, Ubisoft® and Sid Lee have emphasized the darker aspects of liberty and the brutal struggle to break free from the restrictions of society. Set during the assault of a Spanish Galleon, the film showcases one of these struggles, as the pirates strike a blow against the Spanish Empire.

Starting in the serenity of the water, the camera rises vertically, passing through different levels of the Galleon. Each new level decides the fate of the soldiers, but it also reveals something else, the struggle for freedom. The further up the galleon, the closer we get to the ultimate liberty, symbolized by Edward, standing on the top of the mast.

Adam Berg, a multi-award winning director who has worked with Nike, Ikea and Philips, directed the film. His vision and attention to detail brought each scene not just authenticity, but also real tension. From lowering a whole section of the ship under the water, the wild fights of the stuntmen and explosions on the deck, the film was created as real as possible, without any short cuts.

The overall production has been directed by MPC, a key actor in the Hollywood industry who has produced, amongst other, the special effects of Prometheus.

 

Assassins Creed 4: Black Flag will release on the PC, PS3, Wii U and Xbox 360 on October 29th in North America and then November 1st across Europe.  It will also of course release on the next gen console for the PS4 on November 15th in North America and the 29th in Europe, also on the Xbox One worldwide on November 22nd.
