Call of Duty; Black Ops III: Ember

There are still more than six months before the release of the next iteration of the Call of Duty franchise, but 72andSunny LA are already helping to ramp up expectation for the game, which will be the third in the Black Ops stable of releases, with this short web film which imagines a world where DNA enhancement, voluntary limb replacement and retinal chips available for purchase are modern luxuries. 

The film, called Ember, begins by connecting today’s realities of doping and steroids, wearable technology and bionics to a future society where modified athletes are eligible to compete, brain-to-brain connections are possible and organ replacements become elective, aesthetic operations. 

72andSunny uses both real news clips and live action footage to fully capture the past and realise the future of technological advancements and its effects on humanity.
