Entertainment ad agency Ant Farm and featuring recording artist Childish Gambino worked together with Ubisoft to create the new trailer for the upcoming Far Cry 4 . Ant Farm teamed up with Ubisoft to craft a live film that was part musical journey, part documentary footage and part gameplay, all set to Childish Gambino’s song Crawl.

Our goal for this trailer was to emphasize the perfect pairing of the song and game, and give fans a memorable musical and visual experience that is authentic to both artistic groups. The chance to merge cutting-edge gameplay footage with a unique musical talent was an exciting and welcomed opportunity to produce a unique and stylized film that is both memorable and compelling to the brand
