Summary

4524686_KYltxKd31v5cutz.png

A Vaiki from Brookline, Massachusetts, Branson grew up watching cartoons and anime, from Ghibli Films to old Mickey Mouse shorts to Sailor Moon to Pixar's earliest forays into CGI. As a child he would draw bouncing balls on sticky notes, and as a teen he would pause the videos on his old DVDs to redraw the frames of whatever he was watching. Eventually, this interest in animation grew, and with some help from scholarships and student loans, he found himself attending college to pursue his passion as a serious career - If all of those people could make it, then so could he!

Work wasn't always easy to come by, but eventually he found a small following as an animator online, working retail by day and creating videos by night. It was a surge of animated music videos, like the Mystery Skulls series and SIAMÉS's music videos for The Wolf and Mr. Fear, that led him to jump onboard himself with a video of a song from a certain band. Not long after, he was contacted by the leader of the band itself... but rather than a takedown notice, as he'd expected when he saw the email in his inbox, he was instead asked if he'd be interested in working for the group as an animator for their other songs. Naturally, he accepted quite happily.

Michigan can be a rather demanding Vaiki, having him redo entire shots on a whim, but Branson enjoys his work despite this, for the most part... even if it's rather exhausting and he's pretty sure his blood must taste like espresso at this point. (The new guitarist's willingness to pay his rather exorbant fees whenever Michigan requests he scrap a finished scene to do something else helps quite a bit, of course.)

Trivia

  • Branson's favorite film is The Last Unicorn, something he was teased a bit for even by his friends in his youth... until he showed them the movie itself, that is.
  • Branson is bi, and actually has a bit of a crush on Toshi, the lead singer of the band he animates for, though he hasn't brought it up because he doubts she'd feel the same, and even worries he's too old for her at his ripe old age of 31.
