“Walking Dead” co-creator Tony Moore and director Rob Zombie teamed up to create a short animated film for San Diego Comic Con 2014 inspired by “Assassin’s Creed: Unity.”
Zombie and Moore crafted their bloody yet hyper-sexualized take on the horrific events that took place during the French Revolution. Moore is known for his artwork in the “Walking Dead” graphic novels, but felt uneasy when he first began the project with Zombie.
“I’ve had some stuff turned into motion comics before, so in my head that’s kind of what I anticipated, but I wasn’t really prepared at all for the level of execution that these guys were putting together,” Moore told Ubisoft’s official blog.
“I was kind of thinking on that wavelength ahead of time and I was drawing art that was more suited to being cut up into little pieces and moved around,” he added. “I had no idea how far these guys were going to take it.”
Moore also dished to Ubisoft’s blog his favorite part in animating the gore and terror of the French Revolution.
“There’s this one part in the storming of the Bastille where we zoom in on a guy getting stabbed in the eye,” Moore said. “We thought about it a lot and me and the animation team when back and forth with it and we went over the pacing and the viscosity of the blood and we just really dug in on it.
“Then the animation team went in and did this 3D mapping over a section of the face and had all the blood spurting out and all that great stuff. When they turned that in, it just blew my mind because it had been a long time coming with a lot of rough cuts and then when they were like, Here’s what we’ve got.”
“Assassin’s Creed: Unity” will be released on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC on Oct. 28.
