I want to thank Mistyman Studios for their exceptional VFX work on our announcement video, overseen by creative director Alex Pi. And Julia’s continuous monitoring to deliver the best. Your expertise brought the shots to life.
Many thanks also to the fantastic teams at Viskefi, Phantom FX and Gimpville for their outstanding work on their shots and for their continued support right up to the very last minute! #Varanasi
