Wanting to reboot the iconic FPS franchise with a contemporary conflict as backdrop to the combat gameplay, Territory was asked to create the 2 minute opening CG cinematic for the 2010 release.
The thirteenth game of the Medal of Honor series, the 2010 release was the first to leave the theatre of WWII. Set in the Afghan war zone, we were asked to create a 100 second cinematic intro to set the scene.
We were tasked with an opening 90 cinematic that explains the mission and we devised a concept based on a long continuously sweeping camera move that begins tracking the Earth from space and drops lower and lower, past satellites, clouds, Predator drones to a small Afghan village.
