TORONTO, April 18,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Emmy and Oscar-nominated
visual effects (VFX) studio and AI technology startup Monsters
Aliens Robots Zombies (MARZ) today announced it has spun out MARZ
AI (creator of Vanity AI and LipDub AI) as an independent entity
which will focus on the development and commercialization of
AI-centric tools for creators. The company also announced it has
merged with Vitamin VFX to add even greater capacity for its VFX
services as it continues to offer affordable, timely VFX results at
Hollywood standards. Renowned for
delivering feature-film quality visual effects on television
budgets and timelines, this partnership will enable MARZ to

growth."

efficiently remain at the heart of our process," says Lon Molnar, Chief Creative Officer at MARZ VFX.
