Brandon Calvillo

Brandon began using Vine just for fun after he quit his job at a sandwich shop. Later he decided to discard the dark, noir content in his videos and made them more decent and family oriented. The creative boy then made a six-second video ‘Getting Tacos for Taylor Swift’, which became popular on Vine. Brandon uploaded his maiden video on Vine on March 14, 2013 and by April had attracted 10,000 followers. He gained a 10 Vines deal with Virgin Mobile with the assistance of talent agency GrapeStory. The boy has also worked with Viners such as Christian DelGrosso, Jason Nash, Josh Darnit, Nash Grier, King Bach, Thomas Sanders, Marcus Johns, and David Dobrik. Brandon has also done a full length film called FML: A Social Media Adventure alongside Jason Nash. He also appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres show and AXS TV Live.

Brandon is acclaimed for his hilarious, self-aware personality. The Viner was working at a sandwich shop during which he discovered Vine on his smart phone. Most people were using it for cracking jokes then, so Brandon wondered about how to tell a joke in six seconds. He began building on ideas based on his interactions with the customers at the shop. His initial videos comprised of black humor though he eventually changed his style. Brandon finds it awkward and weird when people recognize him on the streets but he takes his stardom with humility and remains an approachable person.

Brandon created a controversy when he and his brother Jesse did a Vine analysis on Snapchat and judged the Vines on the comedy page and marked the Vines sarcastically. He said they did it only for sake of humor but in doing so offended many Viners by making fun of them. In a solo video Brandon said that he was the most flawed person on the planet and had no right to judge anybody for any reason. Brandon asked for forgiveness by saying that “I apologize sincerely to any Viner who I made feel bad or made fun of, I’m sorry”.
