AC Community Questions: Calvin Whiteway

Welcome back to another article in our Assassin's Creed Community Questions series, made up of interviews with Assassins based around the world.

This week, we are joined by Calvin Whiteway, who joined our Assassin's Creed Partnership program as a Video Content Creator in Autumn 2024, best known for his hilarious skits on the ACFirstCiv TikTok account.

Col: Hi Calvin, thank you for joining me for this interview. Please could you tell us a little bit about yourself and your role within the Assassin's Creed Community.

Calvin: Hey, my name's Calvin. Content creator. I'm a nerd for cameras, films, acting and just being creative. I also love the gym, getting outside and working hard. I've been a fan of AC since I was a kid, played the games loads.

Col: In Autumn 2024 you joined The Ones Who Came Before's Assassin's Creed Partnership Program, known as the Isu_Network. How have you found working alongside the Video Content Creation Team, and how excited are you for the future of Assassin's Creed?

Calvin: Grateful for this opportunity to work with this cool team and I'm excited to see the future of the company. It's been really interesting working with the team. Coming out with ideas and everyone having different styles, which is good to see. Hoping for the future to work together on more projects but all around, happy to create AC content as best I can!

Excited to see where the creators take Assassin's Creed but it's hard to best the originals.

Col: Which Assassin's Creed game have you been playing recently, and which game are you playing next?

Calvin: Playing AC III recently, which is really good. I recommend it if you haven't, I think it's underrated.

Col: Have you visited any of the locations from the games?

Calvin: I haven't visited any yet but the goal is to head to Rome and Valencia, Italy sometime soon!

Col: Which Assassin's Creed game is your favourite and why?

Calvin: It's hard to choose a favourite as they all have their styles and story lines but I'm going to say AC Brotherhood, as it had the best story, dialogue and characters you connected with.

Col: Have you attended any events within the Assassin's Creed Community?

Calvin: Haven't been to any events but hoping for a comic con trip, dressed as an assassin will come soon!  

Col: Do you have a favourite Assassin's Creed community moment/ story you would like to share?

Calvin: I think joining the team has been an interesting experience as I've heard and seen a lot more BTS of AC and built connections with people who love the same thing as me. That's been nice.

Col: What would be your dream setting for the upcoming AC Netflix TV show or future game?

Calvin: Dream setting?! Hmmm. To not remake any moments from the games but create a new story line and to have characters we can relate to and care for as the season goes on. I wish to star in it also, I wouldn't mind that

Col: Do you have any personal AC goals you would like to achieve?

Calvin: To see my keep consistent in helping the brand. Keep uploading content and experience cool opportunities that I would never have the chance too.

Col: What would you say is your most significant community achievement to date?

Calvin: Significant achievement in AC? Probably collecting 5 platinum trophies on the AC franchise.

Col: What is your favourite part of being a community member?

Calvin: Getting inside information, building bonds and connecting with others who like the same thing as me. Also, like to see people debating and banter that comes with it.

Col: Do you collect AC merchandise? If so, what is your favourite item?

Calvin: Currently got a few collection bits. I've got an AC hat with an Eagle on it and a small figure of Ezio on top of a building.

Col: What advice do you have for people looking to get into content creation, in particular, video editing and recording.

Calvin: Honestly, build what you want, don't let others tell you what's right and wrong. Find the creative thing you like, get started and keep consistent.

Col: Where can our community members find you online?

Calvin: The best way to find me is on Instagram (@cw.content) or Calvinin3d) business and personal account.
