Atomic Productions 2014. 'The Splinter Cell' is a non-profit fanfilm created by the producers out of their love and appreciation for the source material. It is created entirely as a labor of love and not intended for sale or commercial, for-profit distribution. All rights to Splinter Cell franchise belong to Tom Clancy and Ubisoft.

[@johnpeterson7559]

Watching a Splinter Cell agent in Hand-To-Hand combat is probably the coolest thing I've ever seen

[@Freshinfos]

Why can't you criticizers just shut up and enjoy the film as it is. You guys have no idea how much effort goes into making something like this. It's not a Christopher Nolan production. This is a "non-profit fanfilm" made by true fans "out of their love and appreciation" of the franchise. And they've done pretty badass job. Shared the film on our website. Atomic Productions keep up the good work and make some more.

[@jaredwiggins4729]

fresh INFOS maybe because those criricizers are jealous that True Fans of the franchise do a much better job than them otherwise those criticizers would just shut their mouths & enjoy the film!

[@Bob-jv4yf]

Being critical of something is human nature. You literally just did it. You could’ve shut up and gave it a like. Ironic.

[@KigunCarpenter]

For being a fan film, you guys did one hell of a job.

[@Sandorfitness]

Wow, really well done. Leave it to fan films to show Hollywood how it's done.

[@AdnanAhmed]

At first I was bummed to find the actor playing Sam was so young, then I saw Lambert and it made sense, a very cool origin of Sam Fisher. At times I forgot it was not from Hollywood.

[@saadafzal7794]

This Nolan Batman-esque approach to Splinter Cell could actually work really well.

[@ben3308]

Someone gets it.

[@ben3308]

***** Which would make the sequel our 'Dark Knight', then, wouldn't it?

[@ben3308]

TheTaff512, the field runner was Vernon Wilkes Jr., who is actually six years younger than Irving Lambert. Our Vernon Wilkes here is his father, Vernon Wilkes Sr, who we wrote to be the Station Chief of his division, and the superior of a young Lambert. The initial recruiter for Sam Fisher himself. It would, in this revisionist history, then only be fitting and make sense for Lambert to later become a head of an espionage team and have Wilkes' son, Vernon Jr, attached in some capacity, would it not?

[@theirishmillan7050]

Great production, I enjoyed every moment of it.

[@Pizzatime42008]

Good idea for the Sr. and Jr.

[@qsqua]

Wow!! You really love your Splinter Cell lore. Good good. Might I ask, how would you'll rank the games?

[@ben3308]

The original trilogy works as such a succinct franchise, but the latter games are pretty solid also. Conviction and Double Agent feel like companion pieces to the first 3 games, and Blacklist more of a 'reboot', but certainly Blacklist still tries to follow the general style and story of it's predecessors- which makes them two sets of 'trilogies', we'd say. The whole style and genre of stealth-meets-COD gameplay makes the whole series so unique. Our ranking would likely be: Chaos Theory Double Agent Splinter Cell Conviction Blacklist Pandora Tomorrow Though from a story standpoint, Double Agent is likely the most-superior entry. Killing off Lambert in such gripping dramatic fashion makes it the most memorable by huge margins.

[@Myythe]

Oh dear lord, pure nostalgia.. absolutely astonishing work you did there. I really appreciate the love and dedication you guys putted into this. This is certainly one of the best fanfilms out there, keep up the good work!

[@jgjtpw]

This is really good screen quality. Wouldn't mind paying some bucks on kickstarter if it really meant that you could get the licence to produce a full movie. It really felt like the original Splinter Cell but then in a movie adaption. Many movies don't capture the reality from the games, they make a poor copy with a lot of bangs and explosions to keep the people happy. This is actually fantastic footage, nothing but loves for those that made it. If you cut some scenes from this one and made it into some sort of trailer, I would certainly want to watch it for sure. This is how movie adaptions of games should be, seriously.

[@ben3308]

Thanks for the kind words! You can actually donate to our campaign now- link in the video description!

[@pexpix]

This was amazing! As a hardcore Splinter Cell fan, it had my body in goosebumps during those surprise-stealth kills. Yet, this looked more of a prequel to something bigger, which is good. I hope that you guys can build up on this, it is great!

[@ConstrictedCultivation]

I totally love this! please do me a favor and make a full length movie at this point i'll donate thousands to make a full length movie of this!

[@Nick930]

That was really cool! The interview scene was done fantastically. Though the action bits were a bit cheap looking. It didn't even make sense for Fisher to be hiding up in the ceiling in that one part. I agree with the criticism Erik Brandt provided below.

[@stealthknife9158]

I know you posted this 6 years ago, but as a fan of your channel Nick930, your comment hit me the wrong way. This video had the production quality higher than 99.99% of KZbin content creators today. Being a fan made live-action rendition of a series that will probably never see another sequel, this was an A+ for me.

[@jakobconnor8153]

I realize it is kind of off topic but do anybody know of a good website to stream newly released tv shows online?

[@santiagochad3309]

@Jakob Connor i would suggest flixzone. Just search on google for it :)

[@harveysawyer2447]

@Santiago Chad yea, I've been using flixzone for months myself :D

[@jakobconnor8153]

@Santiago Chad Thanks, I signed up and it seems to work :D Appreciate it!!

[@SmitzT]

It was worth the wait. Outstanding work, well done all involved.

[@TheLastSkYHawK]

Top production but bad fiction, Sam Fisher doesn't brawl. He is not a silent assassin with a dull appearance. He is a family man who lost his daughter many years, a little humorous and passionate characteristic. Highly skilled and trained professional agent.

[@kyrylostanchyk6306]

It is not. During first three parts of the game his daughter alive. And Lambert too. Only in Double Agend his dughter died (it showed it cutscene in the beginning) and Lambert killed by Fisher (this is in the end of game: you can choose to kill or not to kill, but Convictions says thet he killed Lambert). But why Pentagon?! Headquarters on NSA in not in Pentagon! It placed in Fort Meade...

[@TheLastSkYHawK]

Kirill Stanchik Yes they are, I don't want to give any spoilers but ***SPOILER*** his daughter not died it was a fake death and she kidnapped few times. So they are seperated many years and many times.***SPOILER***

[@kyrylostanchyk6306]

TheLastSkYHawK yeah. I know that her death was a fake.

[@ben3308]

Kirill Stanchik Our setting is at the Pentagon as this is a prequel/origin story, and the setting you're seeing in his initial interview/interrogation after his team with the SEALs and training for the CIA, but prior to his work with the NSA. That's why we reference "the farm", the CIA training facility, but never the NSA or Third Echelon itself. We're in the early days here, with a sort of reimagined history. That's why Lambert is still just a young assistant in a government office, Vernon Wilkes Jr. (Sam Fisher's armorer) is still a kid, Vernon Wilkes Sr., his father, is the one interrogating, and Sam himself is 26. Just a fun way to recontextualize the whole saga without negating or interfering with the legacy left by the first three games.

[@TheLastSkYHawK]

Atomic Productions Very good job, i like to see more...

[@Nujabez]

This was an incredible watch. Atomic Production, high fives to y'all.

[@CedeSilva]

Very well done, impressive. I would love to see more of this (also, Sam picking locks, puttings his hands into file cabinets, hacking, etc. etc.). Congrats to all the team that made this.

[@richardhobbs5384]

As a Splinter Cell fan since the beginning I loved this hope they make more. I still hope for the movie one day.

I Want the Full Movie, This's Absolutely Amazing! *GOOD JOB*

[@ssilver385]

Amazing work, keep it up!

[@MidnightSamuraiFilms]

Ya'll did an excellent job on this, regardless of minor differences of the game in Sam's age or his command contacts. Cinematography and lighting terrific look! Acting was great as in the game...there typically isnt a lot of dialog among the targets. Most of the focus is on Sam's stealth and sentry removal skills. You'll have so far 66,000+ different opinions. I think the numbers of viewers will continue to grow! Hats off guys! Nice work! Not even Hollywood makes films without negative critics!

[@jellybeanstv8006]

That was amazing! Please make a full movie!

[@gavins38]

Excellent film! I loved every bit of it. You really captured the feeling and atmosphere of the Splinter Cell games and I loved the work of the two leading actors. I can see that a lot of hard work went into this and it's paid off for you all. Keep up the fantastic work and please, please make some more!

[@gspm6379]

Wow good job!! Please keep doing it!

[@Evolempal]

Awesome! I love Splinter Cell, and this is that I hoped a lot of time! I hope can see more! Excellent job Atomic!

[@jorgepablolopezmola4684]

He doesn´t look like Sam, he looks like Archer of Splinter Cell Conviction...

[@rackemup2065]

Jorge Pablo López Mola I think he could pass as a young version of Conviction Sam

[@Liberator130]

Who cares? Why can't it be their interpretation of Sam? It looks like it's their own take on the franchise.

[@donaldbeetlestone7545]

I thot u were gonna say archer...as in sterling...

[@AWAKNOTnCDED]

He played a damn good sam Fisher

[@Hoopladoopa]

Very impressive fan film. The camera work, lighting, style, and overall look was really on spot. Awesome job! And yes, more plzzz xD

[@fritz3802]

I'm the biggest Cell fan in the world ( have a poster of lambert in my bedroom) and i take qualms with a few things here: - Fisher did not whisper "hey over here" which is very out of character for him, as well as no signature "Whistle" -No mention of Argus - Lambert too young - Sam Fisher should be played by Andrew Garfield -Cop should be Woody Harrelson - Terrorist should speak in bad russian accent with ambiguous south american descent - Not enough French people - No fish or water tanks, no mention of a Chaos Theory - no point in movie where he does becomes a Midget by shooting a sticky cam on the floor and then dropping another on top of it - no oprhanage ghost - Action scenes should be filmed with CamNet - No rainbow six operator, his name is 0 in rainbow six Debriefing , god damnit fisher, you tried to sell out tickeets during a pandemic! We're EVACing you out of here now. Mission over. Lambert

[@aa3931]

you forgot the guy in north korea who takes care of the monkeys

[@ben3308]

I laughed at this comment, good job.

[@aubpas3594]

My respects from France. You have done a great job, the movie seems like a big production. I wait for the second video. Good Luck and keep doing what you do.

[@StefanoVespertini]

soundtrack is a masterpiece.

[@philoniphone]

Absolutely loved it. Excellent work. well done guys :D

[@MatiasZeni]

Awesome, just that, it's awesome. Well done, good quality, good sound, really good use of shadows. I love it!

[@guilhermecarreira5066]

BEST LIVE ACTION EVER!! I absolutly love Splinter Cell! This live action movie is spot on! you capture the most important aspects of the franchise and of the caracter sooo well :D!!!

[@tonythetigersgreat]

loved it - great job to all that was involved

[@BlueBlueSXXI37]

That was just awesome. Usually i don't like fanfilms, but this one is amazing. You should make a whole movie

[@forthelightside5499]

One of the best fan films i've ever seen. one major thing that stands out above all the rest are the settings. a common trend in fan films is that the locations don't seem genuine...you did a great job handling that. great job!

[@icemaher]

Great movie, i love Splinter Cell franchise.

[@lifeleavesscars]

VERY nicely executed from start to finish. I would like to see more.

[@101son]

Awesome! This looks great, I would love to see more of this. :D

[@rustygaming7881]

Convicent at 5:38 the patrol unit stands there waiting to box instead of pulling out his pistol and shooting fisher while he is on the floor back turned.. Bravo

[@DSalary9487]

This looks amazing and I love the drama that you guys bring! Keep making more im a huge fan of Sam Fisher and the Splinter Cell series! MAKE MORE... MAKE MORE... :D

[@Bert0ReyRey]

This has potential of becoming better than Bourne movies.

[@bassyboi26]

More Spilnter Cell please! =] Really well done I hope we can get more!!! =D

[@sandyrenee1000]

Wonderful work! Way to go Seth... want to see lots more like this

[@MichaelBallif]

Someone -- hire these boys to make this into a feature. I'd pay to see it. Awesome stuff, as always.

[@WolfPrime666]

I know this fan film was made 6 years ago but I am very glad to see it right now. This year I've been with a big obsession with the Splinter Cell franchise and I've been searching all the stuff that I can that involved this universe. This is a close movie that I could see about Splinter Cell, wish you guys have the chance to keep doing it, just the way you did it, of how you introduced a young Sam Fisher, just marvelous, I give you big congratulations for this project, my friends. Indeed this franchise needs more love now than ever (and would be in a perfect timing because of the soon animated serie that hopefully Netflix will give us and the so rumored news about Ubisoft doing a new Splinter Cell videogame, I think 2022 will be the year for Splinter Cell... I hope so) Again, congratulations, my friends!!! I give you a big 10 for this!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

[@ComedyBros5]

I WANT TO SEE MORE SAM FISHER! This was amazing!! As "Lucky Bide" said about the scene of the bad guys, I have to agree. That is my only complaint from this...but that ain't anything too bad. Man, everything you all put out is amazing. The cinematography, the acting, the music, the visuals, the props - all so perfect! It's really weird seeing Hollywood quality videos on youtube....keep it up and don't stop!

[@ComedyBros5]

I'd donate to help fund a longer sequel to this! PLEASE!

[@TheKersey475]

Personally, I always pictured Liam Neeson as Sam Fisher if they wanted to make a live-action "Splinter Cell" movie

[@kaineparker6574]

Gotta say this short film and also a prequel to Splinter Cell is...great.And the special effects and editing is also impressive plus amazing.

[@Sylopeth]

Dang! That was brilliant, I'd love to see more of this!

[@limitsora69]

Good stuff! Loved it, and such professional acting too. Hope to see more.

[@scotthomes1306]

Awesome job guys!

[@adamkrause9099]

Very good production quality. Sam Does NOT Fist-Fight. *He Kills Within VERY Few Movements.* We should be seeing 'killing in motion' re-enacted by this day & age. Thank you for making a Splinter Cell film. I hope that your passion drives the reported UbiSoft film to continue official production.

[@grampalettuce6730]

Lighting making people look properly perspiring. Great contrast lighting akin to the games. Fisher's hair is too glorious. Unless he's been pulled off of vacation. Feels like a short and the best trailer ever. Sick. Someone needs to make a movie movie.

[@tnsilverback]

Awesome would love to see much!!! very well done!!!

[@HaloUnion]

Very well done. Props to your cinematographer.

[@ben3308]

Thanks!

[@nickgidida8142]

Ubisoft's Splinter cell page led me here.... liking this

[@MinimalFilms]

Greaaaaat Work. Very cool. Good look. Very good acting.

[@Neeemy]

I NEED MORE

[@Minkitink]

Damn cool. I played all the Splinter Cell games and I really love this short film. The soundtrack and the atmosphere are awesome. Nevertheless I miss the sneaky approach of the game a little bit. But I don't want to complain ;) It would be great to see more.

[@skatetheskit7962]

This deserves more than 122000 views

[@GoyaSupremo]

This was pretty freakin' sweet. Looking forward to some more.

[@speeddrifterrx]

Dug this. Cool seeing a young Sam. Nice little short to the point intro. Title is a great lead to 3rd and s.c. operatives. Good character drops. Would love to see a more established krav maga hand to hand. I enjoyed showing Sam in a fight for Once since it does happen in the books.love the armaments used. Nice eye for detail and keeping close to a fisher-ish character on what seems prequel! Enjoyable for someone finally attempting this even before a theatrical release. Hopefully They take note of a fan production! Voice is No iron side: ) but who can do other then the one and only!

[@VictorSantos-zu2re]

I love the production value. This is awesome. However, I've always envisioned Lambert and Fischer to be older. IMHO. Awesome work though!

[@suparaexplo217]

We really need more of this...

[@Spring_Bbq]

PLEASE DO MORE IT LOOKS SO AWSEOME

[@MrAcelock1124]

I love this. Very well put together

[@gamecorex8345]

Pretty impressive stuff. The production, filming and overall acting are top notch. Only thing I didn't like as much was how Fisher took out those 4 guys. That was kinda...well, unspectacular for my taste. But all in all an awesome job. Would love to see more of it.

[@fiazshah3838]

this looks like a proper movie, great job on the visuals!

[@StefanoVespertini]

well done!!! We want more #SplinterCell for sure! Best of luck! Stefano

[@Logan_Ownbey]

“They called you the ghost, faster and quieter than anyone else” (next scene, trips over glass) 2:11

[@lolomixed6442]

When I think about a possible Splinter Cell movie The movie "The peacemaker" always comes to my mind. To me that´s the essence of a possible splinter cell movie.

[@theguardian7]

This is A one production guys. Huge fan of the series. Love that you made everyone as age appropriate as possible (kind of tired of seeing 12 yr old Sam Fishers skulking about in broad daylight wearing jeans and high top Converse!).

[@LuckyBide]

Filming quality and realization are very good, shadows and lightings are great and music is excellent. I appreciate the part in the Pentagon office, dialogues are good. But the part with the bad guys, I didn't like it. Their moves and dialogues could have been improved because they look like amators. Why do they split to be each guard alone? Why don't they speak to each other? It would added more realism and professionalism from them. And I was expecting more pure stealth moments (rather than stealth-action) but that's my own opinion. However this movie is overall good, I wasn't expecting such a good quality so I'm positively impressed. But I had the impression to watch a big trailer announcing a coming movie rather than a fan-film. Besides it was too short and there was only two filming locations...so I'm waiting for the second episode. ;) Good work guys ! PS: Will it be possible to have the subtitles (for non-english speakers) ? Thanks.

[@LuckyBide]

***** How's that? Can you be clearer? I'm not sure I understood your post

[@LuckyBide]

***** Ah okay, thanks for your answer. But yeah too bas that's the movie is so short :/

[@ben3308]

***** Sorry you didn't get what you wanted. These types of works take an enormous amount of time, money, and dedication to complete by a huge number of very talented volunteers and collaborators on our team- so even when it's "only" a short film, keep in-mind numerous people still worked very hard to make each and every second of that short something special. The best anyone can do is present material in a way so that its exciting and engaging and has enough steam to find an audience. That's just part of marketing and adequately presenting something you work on. And we put out a 30-second trailer for a 9 minute movie. Not a 2 minute one for a 7 minute movie. But who's counting. ;)

[@LuckyBide]

Atomic Productions Thanks for answering. We know that each second of video requests a lot of work and you did there a good work. However I have the feeling (and that's my opinion) that I've only seen a big trailer calling for a sequel. Not a bad thing of course but it leaves us a little bit hungry (if you know what I mean ^^)

[@ben3308]

Lucky Bide Certainly. And we'd love to make more. Just takes a fairly large chunk of money and time to create for a project done entirely out of passion and for the love of source material we can't profit off of ourselves. The hope is that this short engages people and gets them excited for what there could be. Is it a bit of a tease? Certainly. But wouldn't a half-hour SC short feel like a tease for an hour-long project? Or a hour-long project feel like a tease for a feature film? Ultimately everyone wants the same thing we do in the backs of their minds- a big-budget, Hollywood-produced Splinter Cell feature film. Anything less than that, we've always known, is ALWAYS going to disappoint someone or some fan in SOME way. Best we can do is try to make cool stuff in the Sam Fisher world and still hope some people can enjoy it!

[@saintjellies]

I would love to see more, I would totally pay to make this happen.

[@105daggergunbarrel]

Fisher looks quite young, but that was great. Excellent filmography!

[@KnivesMonroe]

They fucking topped themselves again. Bravo.

[@SanDzFit]

It’s obvious the actors are not real martial artists. I’ve studied and trained in them for years so I usually have a great eye for details when it comes to that. Sam is very proficient in Krav Maga so study up on it and employ Krav techniques. Other than that, bravo 👏. Y’all did a great job with this.

[@AWAKNOTnCDED]

Best Fan film based on Splinter cell so far

[@DanCarrollActor]

finally...seems well cast

[@ZsStudio]

WOW! That's was amazing!!! I love it!!! not big fan of the game but i did like that fanfilm! good job!

[@LongTimeAgoNL]

Aww man! This looks so promising! Can't wait to see more!!! Also, keep in mind that the 'first' goggles Sam used only had (green) Night Vision, (very rudimentary) Heat Vision and EEV. It got EMF, AMC, Sonar and enhanced Heat & night Vision waaay later. Since I see you guys are hinting at Sams 'early' SC career. Please don't use the later ones... Yet ofcourse. Do keep in mind that Sam was 47 years old when he was selected to 'train' for the newly set up Third Echelon. He (the actor) doesnt look 47, but I can ignore the age difference since Ubisoft also clearly does that. You guys rock! What actually happened to the movie that was hinted at (teaser) in 2005 in the Chaos Theory game and hinted again during the making of Blacklist?

[@M1NETAUR]

damn, good job on this one lads, but honestly, i was expecting a movie-length fanfilm..... perhaps you could do one one day? :D

[@jonathonmccue7271]

Ugggh, that neck snap made me wince! lol!

[@neilbond1762]

Very good realization, waiting for the next episode ! I really liked everything, perhaps you could improve the dialogues but it's a nice work

[@SonOfSulfur]

Great job! Doug Liman should consider hiring you guys as part of his crew for the upcoming SC film. :)

[@sacrilegiousboi]

please please make a full hour long movie exactly like this please

[@guilhermecarreira5066]

+Wes Wells jeez.. that would be great but idk if they would do it

[@MrAcelock1124]

This guy needs to be the sam fisher when hollywood makes a splinter cell movie

[@graemedickson2138]

Very nice indeed! Would definitely like to this as a feature film.

[@MeshokShishek]

Nikolay Gorski? Is it a reference to Niko and Sam from Corridor Digital?

[@ben3308]

That it is, haha yes. Sam and Niko are old friends from over a decade ago. 9 years ago, when we made our first much smaller and more amateur SC fanfilm, we named our villain after them as somewhat of an in-joke. Amazed someone actually caught it and recognized the reference here, actually.

[@OlEgSaS32]

(+Atomic Productions) i caught on to that too, i love the corridor digital guys, you Atomic guys are pretty awesome too, this was great

[@Vagabomzh]

Simply love it. Although I would like Fisher to be older :)

[@FilmTechNZ]

That was really good!

[@lindamagagula7476]

I would definitely love to watch live Action Splinter Cell movie😎😎😎👍👍🔥🔥. Despite of the haters what they say

[@LazygameVlogs]

YESSSSS i love you guys :D

[@ShahrukhAnsari-bg6fk]

Guys make a whole damn movie. You will earn well

[@goshorts]

Job well done! Now, does anyone have an idea if we're gonna have anymore SC games come out?? It's been too long damn!

[@SweetBeansGaming]

Extremely well done! Awesome.

[@Liberator130]

Well done short film!!!

[@dt7197]

If you're gonna shoot someone with a silencer, why throw a flashbang and then jump kick them first while they're shooting and screaming. Just shoot them to begin with lol, no noise, save some time and effort. Also, don't ever throw a punch with your thumb sticking out like that, good way to break your thumb.

[@ben3308]

Because it's cool?

[@dt7197]

So...you're saying cool trumps completely stupid? You know you can be cool and smart. You don't have to be one or the other. That scene should have taken place after he's been spotted somehow, alarms sre going off and there are more people so the grenade would actually be useful and make sense etc.

[@AlexLYH]

Daniel Tiffany Well it's an action movie that's suppose to be "cool" with bunch of nice fighting scenes that isn't realistic.

[@ben3308]

+Daniel Tiffany If you know more people, or want to act in the sequel to be one of these hypothetical crowds of people purely there to give greater meaning to the logistics of throwing a grenade- you're more than welcome to come visit us. Sometimes the difference in having something onscreen look both 'cool and smart' is also understanding the balance of 'cool and smart' filmmaking. Or rather, 'cool and practical'. Sometimes what seems logical or smart isn't always practical or achievable once you're on-set. Instead- sometimes you just go for what's cool and hope people forgive you.

[@IVIauricius]

Currently replaying through Chaos Theory. I never fire a bullet, or kill anyone, so I thought it was weird that he broke a dude's neck, shot a guy in the head, and ran straight at one, too. Still enjoyed this, though!!! :)
