The F ‘N VFC

For this project, we were instructed to make a 30-60 second animation. I combined some of my favourite passions for this animation. MMA (I’m a Black Belt in Wado Ryu. I’ve fought for Ireland in Wales and have followed UFC from the start), Food Science (17yrs in Culinary Arts as a Chef, Restaurateur and have a Level 6 Degree in Food Science and Sports Nutrition) and having Fun (Animator). The F ‘N VFC (The Fruit and Veg Fighting Championship) started off as a word play exercise with all my passions and The F ‘N VFC was born. Then I researched some nutritional values and compared them and found that (spoiler) Sweet Potato has more Vitamin C than an Orange and that was the spark for the fight. It’s a fun animation and the audience is anyone who likes an animation that’s a combination of Celebrity Death Match meets the UFC.
