    In the trailer for Creative Assembly’s upcoming game "Total War: Pharaoh" we meet a rather unlikely game cinematic hero: a scarab beetle. How did Goodbye Kansas come up with that idea and how was the trailer produced? Director Bengt-Anton Runsten, Senior Producer Calum Hart and Executive Creative Producer Jan Cafourek take us behind the scenes of the production, a story that includes boiling dead insects, scanning sun-dried soil and visual inspiration from 3000 old hieroglyphs.
