Assassin's Creed contest video: neca ne neceris

by Richard Mitchell { Aug 9th 2007 at 1:45PM }

Remember the Assassin's Creed short film contest that was announced earlier this summer? Well, the deadline is drawing near (August 20th if you don't know) and entries are starting to find their way onto the internet (as videos tend to do). The entry above was sent to us by Charles Pham of Missing Link Cinema. Entitled "neca ne neceris" which roughly translated means "kill or be killed," the film tells its story entirely through visuals. It's short, sweet, and to the point. It's sure to give other entries that we've seen a run for their money. Give it a watch and tell us (and the fine folks of Missing Link Cinema) what you think. If any of you out there are also entering the Assassin's Creed contest, let us know. We'll try and feature some more here on X3F.

... lame. I like it when half the video is credits. It allows the makers to take credit for a piece of shit film.

VERY COOL! Ummm...I don't mind the credits. Good luck to them. Great visuals I think.

Nice work. I would enter if I had the time.

The "other entries" link is an amazing video, with more action and an actual storyline, this one was more artistic but I like Wrath more.

This is the best they could get?

Obviously amatuer but nicely made either way. Still, I would have used the Matlock Theme song.

What the hell was that? She followed the guy for a week to stab him with a switchblade in the middle of the street. Lame.
I agree with 4. Wrath was a much better video.

I think I puked in my mouth a little...

Nice. The old, "it's really a GIRL!" twist. Never gets old.

...or does it?

"Wrath" was lame.

Donald @ Aug 9th 2007 4:55PM

You people are crazy! Art or Films don't always have to have senseless acts of violence or really bad dialogue. The camera work is really nice.

Art is visual and this piece is good! And YES "Wrath" was lame.

I bet you people like films like Dude where’s my car and Armageddon.

To me, things that are considered art exhibit one of 2 basic qualities. It's either unusually aestheticly pleasing or it expresses an ideal or opinion of extraordinary significance to evoke an emotional response.

So based on my beliefs of what all forms of art have in common, I don't look at this art. I view it as what it really is, a crappy short film.
