The company has taken on a variety of CG work, from a VR version of the Universal Studios globe for</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Mummy</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">to product shots and digital de-aging.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Marc explains the reasons behind starting Cluster and his vision for the company. He also talks about how the VFX industry changed when multiple vendors started working on the same shows, and the effects of the pandemic on smaller studios. Finally, Marc discusses how real-time technology will transform the future of filmmaking, and its advantages for smaller studios.</span></p>
