"We approached this project as storytellers," states Catherine Winder, Rainmaker's President. "When the Splinter Cell: Conviction development team at Ubisoft Montreal came to us and wanted a 'wow' factor for this trailer, we totally immersed ourselves in the game and developed the overall concept and script," continues Winder. "We then edited together various footage with character tests, and when we pitched the concept and reel, Ubisoft liked what they saw and entrusted us with one of their highest selling games."
