Visual effects guy transforms himself into random objects and it’s pure magic

Toronto-based animator and video wizard Kevin Parry has gone mega-viral for his mind-boggling collection of videos where he turns himself into random objects.

In a series of quick clips he changes into everything from a pumpkin to a bright yellow banana and in most of the videos, he appears to suffer a ridiculous death. The videos combine studio trickery with a magician’s flair.

Parry is a self-taught stop-motion animation expert who cut his teeth working at Laika, the animation studio best known for films such as “Coraline,” “ParaNorman,” and “The Boxtrolls.” But he’s had so much success on social media he moved back to his hometown of Toronto to “do the YouTube/Instagram thing.”

Parry told Newsweek that the secret to his videos is speed.

“The inspiration for these transformations was to create the shortest possible videos with the most impact,” he said. “I specifically made the balloon one to be 4-5 seconds long but to be as shocking and surprising as possible. That’s why it starts with me falling—I thought what could be more scroll-stopping than someone falling face-first into the floor.”
