Last month, local visual effects (VFX) artist Sofian, known online as Sofyank96, shared the exciting news that he will be collaborating on a video with yet another Hollywood star. The content creator teased that he will be meeting “Superman” star David Corenswet during the actor’s media junket in the Philippines.
Since posting his teaser, fans have been eagerly awaiting what the Malaysian talent has been working on in the editing room. Now that the highly anticipated film has been released (Thursday, 10th July), so too has the influencer’s new promotional video with the actor. Watch:
Yesterday (Wednesday, 9th July), Sofian finally released his collaboration video with David Corenswet. The skit follows the Malaysian artist as he auditions for a role in the “Superman” film alongside the leading star. During the audition, he stands next to David and demonstrates his superhuman strength and ability to fly, all of which are later revealed to be special effects, exposing that he was cheating to land the role.
When it came to demonstrating the final ability, heat vision, Sofian struggled to project beams from his eyes until David handed him Clark Kent’s glasses. With them on, Sofian successfully destroyed a cardboard cut-out of a monster using his heat vision, but soon lost control and ended up damaging the camera lens. As the 28-year-old was processing what happened, the actor took the chance to promote the film. “Auditioned to be Superman, but David was the judge. Let’s just say… cheating doesn’t fly❌” the content creator wrote in the caption.
As expected, Malaysians expressed their excitement over Sofian’s latest collaboration, once again praising him for his impressive VFX work. Many also tagged “Superman” director James Gunn, urging him to hire the young talent for the visual effects team on his next project. With all the collaborations he has done and his skills improving with each one, it’s surely time Sofian was given the opportunity to work on a Hollywood production.
