Seth and Andrew McMurry (Nukazooka) have been producing high-quality action shorts since 2011.  Their polished films, riddled with special effects bring to life both current and nostalgic characters and worlds, like Super Mario Brothers, Pokemon, Roller Coaster Tycoon, Darth Vader, Buzz Lightyear, Minecraft, and Legos, just to name a few.  To date, they have well over a million subscribers and over 350 million views on Youtube.

Quotes:

“I never wanted visual effects to be a thing that identifies us.”

“We pride ourselves in the quality we put out and I feel like that’s what our fans expect, which is what we like.  We start with the story first and then enhance them with the effects.”

“We try to do a lot with very little.  Simplicity is super-underrated.”

“I want people to be successful.  Because that’s what I would have wanted when I was starting out.”

“It was always important to us to make sure that we loved the videos, first and foremost.  That we made videos that we would want to watch.”

“Every single upload we try to learn something new.”

“Editing is very important.  Editing can really make something great.”
