The Energetic VFX Artist, Brandon B, Explores the Vibrant Cities of India and Fumes Chai
YouTuber Brandon B praises Tom Holland as the most impressive individual he's collaborated with thus far.
Visiting India for the first time, 25-year-old Brandon Baum, famously known as Brandon B, sets foot in Mumbai, leaving behind the damp London weather for a slightly hotter, yet captivating experience. With almost 16 million subscribers on YouTube and over 1.5 million followers on Instagram, Brandon is more than pumped to spend his inaugural Indian day in Mumbai.
Brandon, a VFX artist and creator with a repertoire that includes working with Marvel, is soon to traverse across Mumbai and Delhi, filming unique content using his creative flair and engaging his massive Indian audience. He explains with a twinkle in his eye, "India has such an incredible audience, so I figured this is the perfect opportunity to explore the country and create some incredible content."
Known for creating magic on screen for the likes of Tom Holland, the Spiderman: No Way Home actor, who he describes as "the coolest person I’ve worked with," Brandon shares a heartwarming anecdote about their brief yet amazing collaboration that has garnered over a million views. Reflecting on their shared experience, he adds, "Tom was everything you’d expect him to be. Our interaction was quick, but it was hands down one of the most enjoyable shoots I’ve ever been a part of. He was a natural to work with."
When it comes to employing VFX wisely, Brandon articulates the importance of VFX as a tool that complements storytelling seamlessly. "Visuals effects are vital because they allow us to take storytelling to new heights. But, when used without a clear objective, they lose their impact. George Lucas' vision for Star Wars serves as an excellent example of how visual effects can be employed smartly to tell a story that resonates with a global audience."
As for the upcoming film, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, Brandon calls it a film where CGI and practical effects are harmoniously merged to create cinematic masterpieces, with Tom Cruise being the epitome of such a collaboration.
Curious about the use of VFX in Indian cinema, Brandon candidly admits to having watched a few Indian films with CG effects that left him astounded. He appreciates the artistic license Indian films take with their CGI and, with a spark in his eyes, adds, "I believe there’s a vast scope to explore beautiful, vibrant colors in the Indian film landscape."
