Splinter Cell: In the Shadows

 

EXT. WOODS - DUSK

Black boots touch down in the woodland, as if landing from the sky. SAM FISHER chases after three armed men. The FIRST MAN spins mid run, firing his machine gun at his pursuer. Just as he sets off again - BOOM - headshot. Sam sprints past his corpse and comes under fire from the SECOND MAN. 

Sam ducks (or rolls into a crouch) by a tree, as bullets splinter the bark. Sam breathes, steadies his aim and takes a long shot at the Second Man. Torso shot, the man lets out a yelp and is down. The third man - DIMITRI ceases his sprint and runs to aid his fallen comrade. 

 

Iconic video game character Sam Fisher is on the hunt to track down terrorist Andrei Romanov before he has the chance to launch his largest attack yet - putting 8 million lives are at risk.

This short film was shot over a three day weekend, and edited to completion within a month, all for less than £2000. Out intention was to release the short when a new game was rumoured to be announced, hoping to attract some fan attention. Unfortunately, the game was not announced, and we learned a valuable lesson about speculatively making fan films!

It was mostly shot in a Burseldon Brickworks Museum, using consumer filmmaking equipment and pushing every production technique I knew to capture this as fast as possible. We utilised a second unit, day for night, drones, sliders, gimbals, wireless mics, CGI and optical tricks to achieve many of the shots.


DISCLAIMER: This is a fan made film and is not associated with or sanctioned by Ubisoft or Tom Clancy. This video is not monetized. We are simply fans who were inspired by the Splinter Cell game series. We used the goggles and sticky camera sound effects along with some music tracks from the games in an attempt to match their atmosphere. Blacklist and Conviction soundtrack albums are available at several music stores.
