But it is the third film that delivers the most powerful punchwhich is based on VFX. It portrays a student interning on a film set, who, in a goosebump-inducingmoment, is offered a career-making opportunity by a legendary VFX director. The narrativecleverly uses FOMO (fear of missing out) to drive home Arena Animation's promise: Legendary opportunities come when you learn from the legends.
