Ahead of the much anticipated launch of “Sniper Ghost Warrior 2” on Playstation 3, X-Box & PC platforms, Mob Digital has collaborated with Realtime:UK to create a film which employs a blend of live action and CGI, to deliberately blur the lines between what is real and augmented.
Devised and Directed by Chris Gaffey, the film marks the new heights reached in precision marksmanship, stunning graphics and immersive gameplay for the new title, which parachutes you into a series of challenging missions in exotic locations, where, as a Special Ops sniper you must silently eliminate the enemy target.
This marks a significant step for Mob Digital, a brand new offering from the Mob group of companies. It’s aim to fulfill the growing demand for high-end, quality digital moving image content. Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 strengthens the existing portfolio of digital work which includes Need For Speed for EA Games, Sony PSP, Russell Hobbs, and Volkswagen.
Chris’ view on the operation:
“My approach was to distill the essence of the game and dramatise Ghost Warrior 2 as a high tension duel between two – almost invisible – Ghost Warriors, with an explosive conclusion.
You only get one shot at this type of project.
To meet the deadline and production objectives we knew we needed to put a small specialist unit together – A crack team so to speak. We planned it like a mission. We flew in. Identified our shots. Operated fast with light equipment. No one knew we were there. Got the job done. We got home safe!
I really enjoyed working closely with the team at Realtime:UK who provided stunning CG effects to the live action and VFX support”.
