A Visit to Ubisoft Paris — Community Member Meets Antti
On December 6, 2014, a famous member of the Trials Fusion community was invited to the Ubisoft headquarters in Paris to participate in a live stream event alongside Antti Ilvessuo, co-creator of the Trials series : FatShady aka. University of Trials.
Two videos were recorded throughout the day, followed by a live stream broadcast in the evening. Behind-the-scenes photos were also taken, offering a glimpse into the unique opportunity of engaging directly with the developers.
A humorous moment appears in one of the videos: a clip of someone falling off a bicycle, filmed with a head-mounted camera — in fact, that was the player himself. While cycling to the Ubisoft office from the Nation district with Antti, he fell off the bike while goofing around. The fall was funny enough to be included in the final cut.
Outside of filming, the visit turned into a memorable Parisian experience: bike rides around the city and even ice skating on the Eiffel Tower with Antti — a uniquely romantic twist to the trip.
Before arriving, the player posted about the visit on trials.fr, which led to a meetup with several members of the French Trials community.
“It was an awesome trip.” — he later recalled.
