There are several channels that provoke real excitement among other creators when they post but Captain D is the only channel that UA-cam friends will *always* text me about the moment he uploads, as we all try to make time to watch it 🙌🏽
I see you have good taste in content
Is there a possibility for a cooperation of Captain D and Medlife Crisis in one video? Together? 😁
😊 That's so nice
I always wondered if maybe he didn’t have the elaborate face paint he’d post more often but who knows maybe that’s his favorite part and there’s zero relation
And yet his Patreon contributions are smaller than some react channels. A shame.
For me and many others, the allure of ARGs and other horror series is not necessarily tricking people, it's more providing a story, visuals, craftsmanship and maybe some puzzles. Obviously everyone has different tastes, but my personal favorite is probably the Minecraft Alpha Versions ARG, not just because of the intrigue but also because they actually made the versions playable.
Yeah, many times people forget the "game" part of an alternate reality, sometimes being used as synonym for webserie. But the whole point of an ARG is a puzzle used to reveal a story
@@thefanfinfulo stuff without the "game" element is better categorized as unfiction - a new name for a rather old genre, that goes back atleast to Dracula (presented as a collection of 'real' journal entries, letters, and newspaper articles that the author collected on the subject)
@@caoilfhionndunbarThe big difference with stuff like Dracula and to a lesser extent stuff like Sherlock Holmes and Frankenstein, is that no one acts like you're "ruining the fun" if you label them what they actually are, fiction.
However with much of modern day "unfiction", acknowledging their fictitious nature is seen as taboo, and their creators will assert their realness, and it becomes impossible to tell if fans actually believe it, or are just pretending to believe it as part of the experience or whatever.
If these things exist on their own website or forum like SCP for example then I don't see an issue, but when they are uploaded on TikTok or UA-cam where anyone can stumble across it and be tricked into believing it, as shown in this video, it becomes problematic IMO.
Penis and Balls?? Penis and balls.
@@knaughta.masso-kist5944 It sounds a lot like wrestling back in the 80s. Yes, Star Trek isn't real either but at least Star Trek doesn't lie to you and claim it's actually real. Unlike wrestling and ARGs.
Frankly if all the people doing ARGs just made an actual interactive game, some sort of video-media game, a video game if you will, instead of pretending that it's real and presented via social media and stuff, I think you'd get a lot more people interested in them.
An ARG requires audience participation to continue. Puzzle solving, cipher decoding, real world treasure hunts, etc. Hence the "game" part of the acronym.
You remain an inspiration, Captain. Happy to be among your patrons. Hope 2023 is treating you well.

My take on these tiktokers was that they where part of movie productions sets. They always close of a random street or iconic place. In older tiktoks you can see Kilmaru for example attending some movie sets in italy where they also closed the road 1+1 = 2

No, he's working 24/7 on the next video. They're incredibly difficult to make.
@@56independent42 agreed. No lies here 🙂
I really like how Captain hit us with "in the year 2037, when you're watching this" line after making us wait 15 years with 'If you're watching this in the year 2023' line from the Grey Behind Bush video.
feels pretty weird watching that video for the first time actually from 2023, thanks

It's amazing that he remembered to finish the gag 15 years later, but it's even more amazing that you caught it. Thanks, I never would have caught it by myself.

@@grimaffiliations3671 I just watched that other video, and there was a guy in the comments who put it in his calender to remind himself.
3D track paintouts seem like they'd take forever! Super cool video, thanks for making it Captain!
its absolutely insane i want to learn how to do this but i feel like it'd take so long
His super cool presentations are too few and too far between, but that makes them savory. This level of video work boggles my mind, I think I understand about 35% of it.
4D track paintouts will take at least twice as long. Probably...
I’ve been addicted to captain disillusion ever since you mentioned seeing his logo in the architecture of sonic. It only took one video to see how much effort he pours into each video.
@@jomama7210 It would take longer to Blenders UI, you could get a rough one done in a weekend depending on how much previous experience you have. There's tutorials for everything. The key is find the right ones.
The level of quality artistry on display is truly mind-boggling. You sir are so skilled.
15 years and still enlightening the world. I love these videos.
This 5 minute video felt like twice it's length because it's so full of details. I don't know how long Captain spends on these videos, but they make my day.
It's like he somehow compressed the 10 minute video and jammed it into 5 😅
holy cow, i had to double check that it was only 5 minutes.
cool videos yes but his makeup is shit
Little known fact but he actually produces about 2-4 videos a day, with a few vacation breaks in the year. The reason he only releases one every few months is because he plans to keep the channel going until the sun goes nova.
Agreed! He really does go above and beyond.
dude drops crazy high end editing and slide it aside like its nothing in every video he makes, truly an icon. ❤
captain comes when he's needed most, drops the most impressive feat of editing ever like it's nothing, disappears for the next 3-9 months and refuses to elaborate further.
truly a vfx gigachad.
I've never felt so unintelligent and completely entertained as I do watching CDs videos. And that is not an insult.
Man, this video has it all. A great topic, well executed script, incredible visual effects, all concepts and ideas are explained in a manner that’s easy to digest……
Damn Cap. This is good work dude.
A+
He effortlessly demonstrates S+ tier vfx shots... he's a very humble and masterful person. A role model or an inspiration to say the least. He is truly a one of a kind.
He's a special boy.
I look up to him. I try at least
nah, Capt. D just throw everything to the human interns. He sometimes gets shown in the show, like the one with atarashi gakko.

@@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist4I don't remember asking you a goddamn thing
I am a great fan of you sir. I started learning blender from you at the first place.
i understand that it takes many hours for some of this stuff, but he says in the video "what if you need these cars off the bridge 10 minutes before showing the president of the world", or something similar, was he being facetious or was that legitimate?
@@003SOK pretty sure theyre talking about the different techniques, you could do the planar tracking paintout in a few minutes but doing the 3D tracking version and recreating the entire scene in a 3D modeling program and then painting out is going to take much, much longer.
Hey Captain, great video as always, but i wanted to note that the thing you're referring to in this video as "ARG" is actually called "Unfiction".
ARGs are games usually involving complex puzzles that can take place in both a virtual space and real world locations, where many people work together to find a solution.
Unfiction is more in line with what you described in the video, individuals making a story through common social media platforms and acting as if it was the real world, often taking input from users interacting with them.
ARGs *can* smoothly implement Unfiction aspects to it and vice-versa, but they are still separate forms of media.
👏 👏 👏
Fantastic explanation, thanks for taking the time to write it out
I was so confused because every ARG I ever actually took notice of (and didn't even try to solve) didn't do the Unfiction thing, it was just... puzzles, presented as such, or maybe with the intro obscured a bit. Like, there'd be a story, but nobody involved would insist it's real if you asked them about it, they'd either say it's part of the work the intro was found in or that it was an ARG they were trying to solve.
A good example of an *actual* ARG would be the Potato Sack by Valve :)
arg = lame geek

I love how the mirror edit probably took a pretty good amount of time to make it look good and its just there for a small bit to show it's possible and nothing else. Great job as always, Captain!
That's 95% of Captains edits tho. It's there, just because he can.
There's a reason we only get a video like once a year xD@@AcolyteofRlyeh
Yup. I watch these and think "Oh that sounds simple." then realise how long it probably took in reality.
I get he's had plenty of practice and can probably do them much quicker than someone who was just learning could but I guess they still take a fairly long time even for what appears to be simple shots.
The whole thing took an incredible amount of time. That much should be obvious. That's why it's so impressive.
I am thinking that in the last shot some or all of the cars are fake... i don't know why, or if he just made me overly suspicious, but something doesn't seem right about the motion blur and the shadows 😅
Your videography and editing skills always produce the highest quality of work. This suits my sensibilities. I greatly enjoy the fruits of your conscientious work ethic! Thank you, Professor Disillusion, for your efforts in educating the human children we're trapped on this planet with. As always, I look forward to your next lesson!
The animations of you getting crunched by comments, dangled, slapped flat and wadded up were so creative and beautifully done. Your skill and love for your work shines
Every upload, I'm reminded that Captain D could have used his powers for evil and been spreading fake videos across the internet with a distressing amount of believability for over a decade. No joke, I'm truly glad you explain all the visual effects, compositing, and editing tricks in the way that you do, you provide a genuinely unique and informative experience.

This is actually a 10 minute video because of how often I paused the video to scroll back to re-watch a small segment, trying to wrap my head around or reabsorb something.
Amaazing video and you consistantly put out some of the best content I've seen on this entire website.

I love how a "Quick D" video takes more time to create than almost anything else on UA-cam. There are plenty of channels I look forward to videos by, but there are few that give me a little thrill -some pre-emptive endorphins- like seeing a Captain D video pop up. Love it!

@@youtubechannel.6407 I think you missed all of the details that CD puts into his videos, each of which involving more work than the videos he's covering.
And a 5 minute presentation even without all of these edits could take many hours to research, write, redraft and present.
Isn't the fact that 10 people are working on a video like this in itself proof of the fact that this is a lot of work?

@@morphix007 i’m convinced you’re the same guy who commented before who thought he was making some sort of a point about money. it’s not about the money. plenty of youtubers make much more money from that with way less effort. the point is that these videos require a ton of skill to produce. as an animator and visual effects artist, i appreciate the attention to detail and the fact that these skills at this level are hard to come by. the production quality of this exceeds 99% of all youtube videos, including professionally made videos by large media companies.
You were at the start of my interest in video editing CD,
you are simply one of a kind. I understand when it just starts to be too much to keep
making these videos, sad, but understandable. Each video will take days to make,
the time and effort you put into these things is simply admirable. Have been

Another masterpiece. The interstitial animations are (as always) fantastic. You're obviously having a lot of fun with it. Thank you!
Truly amazing work
For every amazing trick shown in a Captain D video, there are probably 5X as many subtle tricks that are done so well, I'll never even notice them.
I love that he keeps little hints in his videos to show what work he has done. Like the bathroom scene. He didn't painted out his shadow on the right wall, besides already painting himself out

It's absurd the effort that goes into these videos, you pull off good effects and creative ideas for just a 3 second bit and then to never come up again in the video or other videos. It's a rare find on the internet and I absolutely love it
A lot of people are missing out. He is underrated.
@@Random_YT-Username The algo doesn't like his videos because he doesn't have any content that the algorithm finds appealing to the widest audiences. These types of videos need to be pushed to wider audiences, but they won't becasue google wants it's adsense money they get from garbage-tier videos, bots, and children that use this platform (90% of it's userbase).
I dunno if I would call those ARGs since there's no game. An ARG is more of a digital scavenger hunt with a story behind it. There being a game for the viewers to play is a crucial element
This. It's an art form.
the cool little term we like to use now is "unfiction", popularized by Night Mind
the arg hate at the start of the video really put me off :( it's like saying you hate all cartoons because "they're for kids"
I was lucky enough to get to play in The Beast and Perplex City and this just made me sad.
@@paulinet68 same
That hard cut between a lifeless world and a real one was wayyy cooler than any shot of a place just empty
Thank you so much to uploading back, i learn lots of things from your video, and the important thing is i found my self improved day by day and confident
An old film photography technique to eliminate people from a crowded scene was to use a neutral density filter to ensure a very long exposure. As people come and go, the average image would emerge. I used to call my ND filter set the "people elimination" filter.
Watched a video about old photographs recently. Apparently the first photograph of a person was because he stood in place long enough to show up in the exposure (while getting his shoes shined).
Thanks for all your great work Captain D, that last bit with the bench was well explained.
Awesome editing and epic music, it is always a good day when the captain uploads!
This guy is the hero we all need, but none of us deserve. THANK YOU, CAPTAIN!
I love the attention to detail the captain has, he used the exact same shot of the final movie and the behind the scenes shot at 2:52 and 2:55 (notice Claire touching the kids arm). It is something so small but for me its amazing to see the exact same shot pre production, and most people just use a shot around the same time, there is nothing wrong with it its just my brain that for some reason obsesses over small thing that makes this sooo satisfying
As someone completely removed from the field of digital photography, cinema and VFX creation I find these videos absolutely incredible. As a point of curiosity does anyone know if the last scene had some trickery to it? Captain D could have just shot a drone view of him being a special boy but honestly we've seen him recreate every single aspect of that shot using VFX.
i was thinking the same thing. I think he is ACTUALLY alone and the cars are CG, which would be his kind of joke.
@@pengwin_ big brain. That didn't even occur to me
@@pengwin_ I don't think he's even outside. I think it's a still image, and all of the moving pieces are added, including him.
Because that would be the most work, and he seems to very much enjoy challenging himself with the hardest task.
@@pengwin_ No there is cars, as I said in my comment, you can see a car not completely erased at 5:08 in the top left corner of the shot.
@@bid0u12345well spotted!

Always a treat when there is a CD upload...
How in the hell do you always put out interesting, intelligent and entertaining videos with flawless editing and music choice... lol This is honestly some of the best content on the web.
There's also the even lazier method of putting a static mounted camera there for a little while so you can get many shots where a different spot is empty in each one, then just layer them all on top of each-other and erase out all the stuff using the other layers where that spot is empty to fill it in
You can probably even do that with a median value per pixel over time. Like a really slow temporal noise filter.
only works for static camera or camera mounted on a robotic dolly that can reproduce the same exact camera movements multiple times.
@@danilooliveira6580 wow! good point! can't believe they didn't think of that before posting their comment.

@@jacksonsmith2955 I know. What an idiot! If _I_ were typing the OP comment, I would definitely lead with the fact it works with a static mounted camera. I'd probably even put it in the first sentence idfk
@@danilooliveira6580 Once you have the image, project it on 3d height map and add a camera wobble from a fixed point as long as it does not move to far in any direction.
There are lots of ways to get the effect.
Holy cow, the effort put into these videos must be immense and it is showing. So many amazing details! 😍
This kind of content warms my heart
The amount of work that goes into these videos stuns me every time. Simple one-off jokes that last for a second or silly things that wouldn't have affected the video's quality have so much time and effort put into them like no other UA-camr really does like Captain.
Does anyone else suspect that the last shot was actually an empty street which CD inserted traffic into? Seems like the kind of power move that he might sneak in.
Yeah, the cars don’t look real
maybe the traffic is real but it's the street that's not
Wouldn't put it past him to edit out the real cars then add back in CG ones
Actually the captain was fake. Ha!
That was my first thought haha
I will ALWAYS watch and be thankful fo CD videos. They are as entertaining as important.
The world always becomes a better place when a new Captain D video drops...
Captain D's humour along witg his insights never fail to amaze me. Thank you so much for pointing these guys out whilst also teaching us basics of tracking!
Yeah, the humor is perfectly spaced in between the informative parts of the video. It’s not only creative, it’s often part of the narrative and it gives a hint that he really worked hard on it, and is very passionate about it. I’ve just about had it with youtube channels that think swear words are the only type of humor that people appreciate.
2:09 ouch man, really well put but... damn :(
Amazing content you really are one of the few reasons I continue to come back to this site. Thanks for all the hardwork you (and your team?) do to make these videos happen :)
You're the best expert in graphic manipulation, and it is always a pleasure to watch any of your creations, time and time again.
It would be truly great to see you more often.
Greetings,

ARGs can be enjoyable if they're done right, especially ones that have carefully crafted mysteries with clues to solve. The clues make it more like a game hence the "G" in ARG. And sometimes it's fun just to suspend your disbelief for a moment, just like you would with a movie or book.
The guy just said "i just can't STAND people suspending their dispelief!" He could have just said that he does not like ARG except for this exception:
But instead he gave a nothing burger explanation for his opinion. I would have liked to hear his opinion, but it was just the most general think he could have said! (I hope i used the word general correctly.)

I love that in the last scene ("special boy") you hit with the cars being erased, but you can tell from the slight shadow on your right shoulder that you are edited into frame and not actually there. You taught me to look for subtle details like that ❤

Also the scattered light through the palm tree onto him, light on his arm and shadow of it visible on the street, and reflections of light onto him from nearby support that he is actually there.

@@scubacell When he walks off in the end, you see him step off the pavement onto the road. Except he doesn't? I feel like I'm being paranoid now, but it looks off. After the stepping-off motion, the black of his feet is still on top of the pavement.
@@dykam Not sure, that's tough and I see what you mean. Just a few frames to work with but based on the sidewalk opposite where he is, and where he steps off from it looks like there probably is a little bit of a dip, and not sure what you mean about the shoe but maybe it's the front of it?
Just watching without paying much attention, it looked like he wasn't there, but maybe it was the camera movement or something.

One of the most underrated UA-camrs! When I see a Captain D video pop up, I run to it.
Could someone please recognize not only his visual FX and "editing" skills, but also the wit and depth he puts into his commentary? The script quality is equally as amazing as the FX work is. Kudos!
even this "quick" video must have taken so much time, not only are the effects great, but the editing in between them is amazing as well!
That was amazing. Love it when I see a new one pop up in the notifications
Priceless. Thank you!
Dear Captain, I absolutely love your channel and I’ve watched every morsel of content on here. I absolutely adored your Flight of the Navigator deep dive (and subsequent jokes about its view count). Your wit, humor, and sense of story are matched only by your obvious and unrelenting work ethic.
Thank you for each and every video you produce. They are fun, educational, and obscenely underrated. You inspire me to keep hammering away at my own creative pursuits. Also your sign-off slogan might be the coolest thing I’ve ever heard. Please keep posting!
I really like the calmer tone of this one. great work as always!
Captain D you are one of the best content creators on this platform, Im always so amazed by your work... you are such a great inspiration for us 3d newbs! Thank you for making the content to teach us how to be a special boi!
Every single Captain D video is a masterpiece. Thank your for this.
These are some cool effects, but I feel like the opening's rather boiled down view of Unfiction (ARGs involve active involvement of the fanbase to solve puzzles, Unfiction is the overall genre of "This is a real thing happening" fiction) is unfair to a medium that has tons and tons of incredible works. From classics like Marble Hornets to new phenomenons like Welcome Home.
I dunno. I'm from a future where there is a ghost in my house and based on my future world's history of ARGs, his take seems pretty legit.
Yeah, a more precise explanation for an ARG is where someone on the internet dumps a bunch of cryptic information about something, often across multiple mediums, and it's more up to the audience to figure out what story is being outlined with the given information. I would, however, say that even this scenario of "ayo bruh where the people go" seems to be presented as actual unfiction and not as an ARG, as there seems to be little opportunity for audiences themselves to come to a conclusion about what happened (compare this to something like that whole "the sun vanished" thing.) So I'd say that the term ARG doesn't really apply to any of this very well.
Exactly my point. @@G-Cole-01
I would definitely watch a separate video about how you did that rag doll effect on yourself after around 3:08. Probably a 3D modell and a composited video face, but it looks very good.
holy moly, the amount of work you put into this video!
Now THIS is a UA-cam video. Outstanding
I've seen the captain explain and show the three levels of motion tracking over and over, but it never ceases to impress me what you can do with it. Great stuff
Captain D is one of the few channels where I’ll see something and hope he makes a video about it, this one and the laminar flow are two perfect examples. It’s like they were made just for me, because “I’M THE MOST SPECIAL BOY IN THE WORLD”
Such subtlety... Masterfully done
Great content! Always worth a watch!
Captain D is the only channel where I get visibly excited when I see an upload notification 😂
You still making such high-quality videos after all this time is such a great thing.
Not just laying bare the editing tricks, but exposing the brittle philosophy behind the fad. Truly the greatest to do it
Your videos are top tier UA-cam and always a treat.
Oh, how much I miss Quick D's. So much useful and mindful information packed in such a small ammount of time!
I love how no matter what CD's videos are they always are worth the wait
one of the only few channels a person can believe the owner is proud of when making videos
I love when you post a new video! I dont care how long it takes, its always incredible!
Each video is simply a masterpiece, thank you Captain!
