Julian Bass VFX hero video gets attention from Disney boss Bob Iger – Deadline


It’s not often that you see iconic weapons from a galaxy far, far away in the same clip as an Omnitrix and classic costume superhero, but Julian Bass just changed all of that.

The 20-year-old Georgia State University theater student has gone viral with a self-produced video transforming himself through three of his favorite heroes, with ingenious changes in the scene. Check out the clip below.

Sometimes smiling, sometimes surprised, Bass combines fragments of himself as a Jedi Knight of the Star Wars universe, Ben 10 from the longest running Cartoon Network franchise and Marvel’s Spider-Man Spiderman.

Two of those three brands are owned by the Walt Disney Company, and Bass urged people playing his video: “If you can retweet enough times that Disney calls, that would be greatly appreciated.”

Well, one of the commenters in your tweet is likely familiar with Star Wars and Marvel fans. A Bob Iger, chief executive of Disney and chairman of the board of directors, posted: “The world will know your name!”

And the boss isn’t the only member of the Disney extended family whose eye was drawn to Bass’s clip. Among those who noticed the clip before Iger were Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill and Josh Gad, who voices Olaf in the Frozen Films.
