The pandemic shut down every industry, irrespective of the niche. It was not possible to bring together everyone to start again! The same happened with the media industry.
 
The breakthroughs and popularity of VFX heavy genres.

If you consider the top-grossing movies in the last decade, the majority of those films were loaded with visual effects. It's what viewers even look forward to. However, if you think VFX is only limited to Hollywood, you are highly mistaken.

For instance, if you looked at Breathtaking storms or the Mars landing of Perseverance, they used some cool visual effects to build excellent content. Studies even confirm that using such immersive effects like AR or CG can pull the viewers towards TV once again.
