Assasin’s Creed: Short Movie

Posted by Bert Callens on November 4, 2009 No comments yet

I’ve noticed a new trend among video games. Because it is a cruel market with hard competition (Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo,..) and all games are becoming better and better, creators are spending more money to advertising. Personally I’m not really a gamer. I don’t have the time for it, and I don’t know which game to play (God knows how many games there are).
But after seeing this short movie for Assasin’s Creed, I would know.

It’s a live-action short movie (14 minutes long) that is packed with beautiful special effects. Released just a week ago, the video now has over 1 million views on YouTube.
And soon there will be a part two of this great short movie!

Halo 3: Tarkov

Posted by Bert Callens on October 14, 2009 No comments yet

Here’s the new trailer for Halo, the first-person shooter video game.
It’s just like a scene from an action movie with nice visual effects. The video tells the story of a young man that lost his father in the ‘Halo-war’ and now he wants revenge..

I like the evolution that the promotion of video games isn’t just some images from the game itself, but they take it a step further..

We all take video games for granted, but do you have any idea how much work it takes to build up a whole virtual gaming world? Graphics, movements, levels, inspiration, but above all; the sound..
Meet Myron Lefkowitz, the man who makes sound effects using his own personal wind instrument. He’s an artist and nowadays he works for MySims Racing..
