VFX directing duo The Berry Boys (Ryan Burnham and Luke Robson), are known for their exceptional talent and passion for visual effects. When they find a moment between client projects, they seize the opportunity to practice their craft and let their creativity run wild. Recently, during their visit to Japan to meet their friends at AOI Global, The Berry Boys took their love for VFX to new heights by creating a Pokémon-themed comedy sketch. This fun and tongue-in-cheek passion project not only showcased their skills but also highlighted their unique style of action comedy and visually-driven narratives.
With their visit to Japan serving as the perfect excuse, The Berry Boys decided to don Pokémon outfits and create a hilarious VFX sketch. Combining their love for Pokémon and their expertise in visual effects, they brought CGI Pikachu to life in a playful manner. The sketch aimed to entertain and amuse viewers while showcasing the duo's ability to create visually stunning and humorous scenes.
In the Pokémon-themed sketch, both Ryan and Luke, experienced comical and visually hilarious demises. Luke found himself launched into the air, soaring through the sky after an unexpected encounter with Pikachu. Ryan, on the other hand, was captured in a Poké Ball, adding an amusing twist to the sketch. These imaginative and unexpected scenarios not only demonstrated the duo's VFX skills but also their knack for infusing action comedy into their work.
For The Berry Boys, creating this Pokémon-themed VFX sketch was not only a fun project but also an opportunity to express their passion for their craft. It allowed them to explore their creativity and showcase their unique blend of action, comedy, and visual effects. The sketch served as a testament to their dedication and enthusiasm for delivering engaging and entertaining narratives through the magic of VFX!
