A live-action film in Taiwan

Project story

Behind the film

The brief

This live-action teaser brings Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Origins into real locations ahead of the game’s release. HoneyCity developed the adaptation, staged the action, directed the shoot and brought the images together in post.

Film concept

Costume, props and camera movement recall familiar moments from the trailer. Rather than treating each image as a separate recreation, we linked the action across locations to sustain the rhythm of a pursuit.

On set

Jiufen’s alleys, steps and changes of level gave the performers a practical parkour route. Prop makers built bows, shields and close-combat weapons that could be used in the choreography. Specialist teams helped plan the animation and animal sequences.
