Video game publisher Ubisoft, recently in the news for unfortunate reasons, has released a cinematic trailer called “Tipping Point” for its upcoming title Watch Dogs: Legion.
If the piece looks and feels a lot like Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, it’s because the director is Alberto Mielgo, who created the piece through his independent production company Pinkman.tv and DDB Paris.
Mielgo was the original production designer of Spider-Verse and established the visual language of the production, before he was fired from the production for reasons that have never been made entirely clear. He ended up credited as “visual consultant,” a thankless designation considering that his development work on the film largely became the template for the rest of the production.
