India, May 1 -- Jet lagged but excited for his first time in India, London-based YouTuber Brandon B sips on his desi chai as we catch up with him in Mumbai. A visual affects artist and VFX creator who boasts of over 15 million subscribers on YouTube and 1.5 million followers on Insta, the 25-year-old says, "I am loving the weather in Mumbai. It's just a smidge bit hotter than London." He adds, "I am here for 10 days and since I've got such an incredible Indian audience, what better excuse to use this as a chance to go out and film across India." Brandon, who enjoys a Marvel connect and has shot with actor Tom Holland for a video that enjoys over one million views, calls him "the coolest person I've worked with". He adds, "He was everything that you would hope Tom Holland to be. We only had 15 minutes together, but it was one of the most fun shoots I've done. He was so easy to work with. He was genuinely the sweetest, most professional and lovely guy I've worked with." As a VFX creator, Brandon is "constantly looking at and getting inspired by" different projects. "I think visual effects unlock the story. And visual effects for the sake of visual effects is when it doesn't really work. My favourite examples of visual effects being used in the best way would be by George Lucas (filmmaker) at the very beginning of the Star Wars saga. He wasn't using it for the sake of using visual effects. It was to unlock his story and to be able to tell the story in a way that no one had told ever before," he adds. Another film that the YouTuber believes is made well with great use of Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI) is Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023). He says, "I think that's the best way to do it, how you always work in tandem with some practical effects and your visual effects, and piece them together. Tom Cruise (actor) is a great example of someone who lives and dies by doing stunts practically, alongside working with an incredible team of CG (Computer Graphics) artists to then finish that shot and bring it all together so they can have that perfect look." Speaking about the use of VFX in Indian films, Brandon admits, "I have watched quite a few Indian films with CG effects and they were out of the world. I also love the artistic license that you see in Indian films. I think there's a lot more room to be colourful with your canvas here."...
