In January 2023 Marvel guru Kevin Keige pronounced that there was no such thing as Superhero Fatigue. Less than a year later Marvel Studios is going through its worst crisis in it short history.

In February 2023 “Ant-man Quantumania” opened well below expectations earning $125 million less than its break even point. And its 46% Rotten Tomatoes score is one of the MCU’s worst.

The uncanny valley is starting to fade away - wow. These are behind-the-scenes frames from Goodbye Kansas Studio's work on the cinematic trailer for CD Projekt Red's game Cyberpunk 2077, Phantom Liberty.

Guntur Kaaram: VFX Breakdown by PhantomFX

Guntur Kaaram Description: Guntur kaaram is It was a great opportunity. The story needed to recreate many vintage CG  planes like Japanese hayabusa, and British planes, We had a lidar of each and every location, prop etc to get the scale  and essence accurate. Our focus is on CG-oriented tasks from set extension to layputing all the way to the final composition.
