Wildlands

Ubisoft / Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon

Directed by Alexandre Courtes

Ubisoft Paris and Mathematic Studio collaborated to produce the cinematic trailer of Ghost Recon : Wildlands. This time the Ghosts are up against one of the worlds meanest drug cartel’s. Like a virus, the Santa Blanca Cartel has taken reign over the beautiful rich lands of Bolivia. Only the Ghosts can bring them down, but it is a long road to find and destroy Sueno, the cartel’s kingpin. Ubisoft Paris approached Mathematic studio in late 2015 to develop ideas for the cinematic trailer of their prestigious shoot’em up game, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon : Wildlands. The trailer needed to communicate the epic open world in which players find themselves for the first time in the games history as well as the Mexican Cartel story line. Mathematic brought in director Alex Courtes to work with them to develop a story and direct the film.
After a short introduction to the Ghosts as they skydive into Bolivia, we are taken on an ever increasingly violent tour of the cartels operations. Starting in the peaceful coca fields, we follow the drug trail from its production, transportation and distribution. We see the cartels heavy hand over local communities and their manipulation over the country’s militia. We are introduced to Santa Blanca’s leading figures which lead us to our final goal and the real reason for all the pain and suffering, their illusive and sadistic leader Sueno. We end the film with the start of the fight, as the trail blazing Ghosts begin their mission by taking down one of the cartels drug transits.

After winning the project in early 2016, the 6 month long production was launched to create the 2 minute 30s long trailer. Supervisor Julien Lambert led his inexhaustible team of 3D and 2D artists at paris based Mathematic studio.
