this channel is known for its visual fx, but doesn't get nearly enough credit for its sound design. i love how the sounds and music got way more obnoxious during the mrflare segement lmao
Tbf it is intentionally hyperbolic and obnoxious
I've increasingly made sure to wear IEMs when watching just to take in the audio because of this fact
It's been
Waaaaaaajajajaja
Not sure what you mean tbh
"maybe the speed of sound was particularly fast that day" that one got me 😅
same
A great gag. Actual lol. (Partially at being so hyped to see another CD video after so long.)
Except it should really have been "maybe the speed of sound was particularly _variable_ that day."
His name is berry allen 😂
Perhaps that beach was at a very high elevation
@@technoman9000 Then the speed of sound would be even slower, because air would be less dense.
It’s amazing how after all these years Captain Disillusion has still never once used CGI
Right? Hes so cool
It's not that impressive when you have all those superpowers
Pretty sure he did for the marble sorting machine
@@Minix_07 nah its was practical effect
He's got all the gadgets and gizmos instead.
That Mr. Flare bit was really annoying.
10/10 imitation, perfectly on point.
Was it an imitation of a specific RUclipsr?
It was horrible. I was _this_ close to skipping. 10/10

Years after these viral video makers let their guard down, ninja CD jumps out of the trees to debunk them!
Nobody is safe!
No statute of limitations on chicanery😉
Like this comment if I shit myself 🔥
And you, I saw that video you did with all the cosplayers like a week ago.
Time is meaningless to the Captain.
Captain. Listen. We don't care if you do a debunk of a repeat method. We love seeing your character just as much as your debunking. Please keep making more videos. You have no idea how many people you make happy when you upload.
Captain Disillusion is the only content creator who is still able to give old school RUclips vibes while having a modern day production value.
old school RUclips means no sponsor breaks and really great content.
Well said
Well put. It's hard. Blame Society Beer and Board Games is similar, it's survived and thrived for 13 years. Too few channels still carry that vibe.
Avgn still uploads and has same vibes as ever. Well kinda he's a bit washed up but still there
xboxahoy
Captain! You always inspire me to edit my videos better! Then I realize I don't have the skills. Awesome as always!
Hey bud, maybe you can find something electricity related to Beckham you can debunk!
same! I love his work (and yours too!)
I knew your videos were all CGI!!!!1
didn't expect seeing you here...! O_O
I love you both
this is probably one of his best works in recent years. The amount of creative.... stuff all over the place is an absolute spectacle. great work as always
I'm just happy the king is back, baby!
This is one of his only works in recent years.
The way you used the speed of sound for this debunking was so creative and elegant.
The guys a genius
CD's true superpower is the level of patience to go through all this work, create this incredibly high production value video, for a 12year old trickshot video next to no-one even remembered existed - still managing to make the video extremely entertaining? Omega level mutant abilities.
I do remember the video existing... only because I tried recreating the trickshot at home and almost breaking the plastic trash bin we had 😁😁
@@kevinstobbs9134 Nah it started recirculating again. I remember seeing it in insta about a month back
I’m brand new to this channel, do you know the meaning behind his distinct face paint?
@@Tortilla.Reform its a character. just a cyborg or something
My wild guess it's a some 3D modeling reference, maybe even the terminator 2 movie@@Tortilla.Reform
The amount of effort in an CD video is astounding, where even little throw away gags are what would be weeks of modeling and animation. That’s why he’s the best.
The twitch chat blew my mind!
Awe man :(
awe man :(
What I love most about Captain Disillusion's channel is that every time I watch his videos, I feel like a little child, sitting in front of a CRT TV, watching his favorite show. It makes me travel back in time and feel the same magic of 90's TV
THANK YOU for bringing us back a little of our childhood to the present.
It’s like the ‘magic school bus’ of our time
This is such a sweet comment omg :)
I guess that explains why I love his videos so much! I couldn't figure it out until I read your comment. Aside from the debunking, it's definitely this feeling.
I get Beakman's World vibes and it brings me back to Saturday mornings doing my homework early. Then I could relax and watch BW and X-Men without my parents giving me the business.
it really do feel like that
"The VFX artist is overworked and underpaid, frame by frame frame by frame, are we gonna see it? Baaaaaaal!" That was gold, now I'm awake again after that much laughing, damn xD
That bit was absolute gold
yes

@@Batnano No... he definitely said ball. Unless he has some crazy accent where g sounds like b and oal sounds like all...
@@kingacrisiusEven the subtitles say "Baaaaall!"
I love the self reflection about ignoring modern problems to debunk a 12 year old video!
I live in that neighborhood and those trashcans have lids on them
Or about putting all eggs in RUclips basket 😅
it felt good to step away from all that crap, at lest for on video
If anyone is reflective, it's The Captain.
I think that video is older than just 12 years, it dated from before I finished High School which was in 2009.
We appreciate Allan's dedication to getting all that top shelf B-roll! =)
Holy crap, punished props??
Allah’s?
It's not like he has a choice, If the captain tells you to do something, you better obey...
Legend has it that Allan's still stuck on that beach today.
@@AlunBridges This counts as Allan's vacation, of course.
Love your videos, Alan. In the roughly 18 years I've watched RUclips, no notification or thumbnail warms my heart more than seeing 'Captain Disillusion'. Thank you for the genuine entertainment you provide.
Omg same! Hes one of the few channels i drop anything to watch
My favorite time of year, that time when Captain D uploads a debunk video!
Only wish he could do so more often! Man is criminally underappreciated.
his last vid was only 6 months ago
@@swellybelly5970 that wasn't a debunk though, they're few and far between these days, I don't mind at all, he puts so much effort into all of the content he makes that it's always an enjoyable watch.
Happy holiday!
@@hoaxygen he should probably announce these videos dropping so that I can take the day off in advance
JK I don’t know if he announces the videos
David Beckham: "I made all 3 of those shots."
Also David Beckham: "Be honest"
it's pronounced back-ham
hey i mean... he made them! just not into the trash cans
He made all of them... in post.
tbh he never stated he hit the trascans... ^_^
he might have kicked those 3 balls in their direction, which could technically still be called making the shots, even though he might not have scored...
i mean in pe we had someone scoring a goal, as goalie by throwing the ball into the oppossing goal over the whole field as a joke when the oppossing goalie assumed not having to pay attention because the ball wasn't currently on his side.
a professional being able to hit targets significantly closer, isn't fully absurd and it could've been filmed over and over until he got them. he makes millions with ads, assuming he'd actually be working for the money is what people hope what he'd do.
Can't believe he potentially lied... to a Canadian!! For shame

That interaction shot where you grab Alan is seriously impressive. I know you probably don't have time to make a whole other video, but breaking down some of your own cool shots would be a really fun watch.
Could just be a second person standing in for that shot between cuts, considering that the face is out of frame/focus in that time.
@@Something_Disgusting He does film the red room at his parent's house so maybe it's his dad or a brother, if he has one
Maybe Alan is his twin brother, and actually is an intern.
This kinda stuff is apparently on the Patreon.
Alan's face had to be soccer balled so we could learn. And it was worth it. Thank you, Alan.
Don't thank the intern, you don't want him getting an ego now

@wmpx34 The Triassic to be specific.
I'm so sorry that RUclips has been nothing but downhill since this channel.
The Blender image stabilization sequence alone must have taken MONTHS to plan, animate and conceptualize. Captain D is on another level.
It wouldn't take that long even if you hadn't ay prior experience of using Blender. Maybe, possibly, if you hadn't any experience with computers and the way software typically works. But it damn sure wouldn't take that long from a person who knows their way around Blender, which CD clearly is.
The transitions must have taken some time, but it is still just an edited screen recording of tracking software. It doesn't seem much higher effort than any other 30 seconds of this video.
@@anteshell yea i mean he is the best blenderer or at least he gave a talk about it.
@@anteshell MONTHS!
@@happypandaface710 Please, speak in full sentences.
Remember, this guy started making videos back in myspace days, before RUclips even came out. And, he's still here, with the same metallic body, and the same unpaid intern Alan.
"Maybe the speed of sound was very fast that day." 😂🤣
Had the same reaction. So good. 😂
I saw him die in the inside after that line lol.
I audibly laughed at that one.
using this in court next monday
I think this is referring to the fact that Isaac Newton tried to explain why he got the speed of sound wrong when it was proved to be a different value (the correct one) then what he came up with.
The Captain is the definition of RUclips consistency. 16 years of videos that are all insightful, hilarious, and edited better than anything you'll find on this site and even a lot of TV and movies. He could've called it quits at any point, took on ads, or toned down his post process and no one would've blamed him. His integrity is only matched by his editing ability. Thank you for blessing our day, Captain!
Heck yes
100% agree ❤
True
What the hell is "RUclips consistency?" Is that anything like just plain old regular consistency?! 🤦
I can't tell you how much I've always loved your sign-off; "Remember: love with your heart, use your head for everything else".
Good to see you again, man. Hope you're doing well.
As a teacher I use this as my goodbye for the year
Lol, I read this right as he was signing off.
It's something I always think about, it's a fantastic sign-off.
Such a good motto.
Yeah, it really made me think
Your videos are just amazing and the only one I watch multiple times. I even go through them in parts frame by frame and I’m amazed about the level of detail and hidden gems. It is such an amazing resource for that may VFX techniques and ideas. Tank you!
These fake viral videos really did represent an era that just happened to fade away without notice.
Which can mean two things...
They walked so "cOnTeNt" could run....away with people's ability to discern real from fake and staged.
@@LeGrandMort(what things?)
@@Pepsiandmilkbutalsopalindrome That they stopped making fake viral videos for advertisement or that they got so good they are flying under the radar now.

I like how he basically debunked it right there by how absurd the premise was lol
he nailed the twitch streamer persona and experience lmao
Maybe Flare could specialize in mocking audio tracks, while CD keeps his focus on the video track. He did a great job here, and it would be ironic, since Mr. Flare is made of light.
@@Fratello_Tom*Jizzus38
That "There's nothing left" tone makes me sad for your channel with how long we've gone without seeing you. But you're a creative guy and I'm sure there's plenty more to come.
A bunch of stuff in this one felt like End Of An Era to me, and I'm a little sad about it.
Especially the ending.
@@OrigamiMarie I certainly hope not. I don't mind waiting for quality.
@@imperfectly_meganikr??? i feel like hes definitely implying he may be done with RUclips soon. i dont blame him with how its been lately, but man. it kinda would suck seeing him go
TBH the last few videos he's been saying he's basically done all he can do with debunks, but the non-debunks don't perform nearly as well.
0:26 I really love the symbolism with the boxes of illusions (specifically illusions done with the video medium) and their evolution over time. Starting with traditional magic tricks, and then going up to the newest bunch being A.I., with a potentially even worse future with the burned box. Details like this is why I love the Captain and his creativity.😁 I’m all for you to decide on future career paths and wish you great times ahead. Also that streamer bit with Flare was peak comedy. XD
Oh thank god. I’ve just been sitting here for the past six months, staring at your page, waiting for you to upload. Thanks!
But why? I just rewatch the "Chinese invisibility cloak" video a thousand times in the meantime
@@ensoniq2k exactly!
Love how chill he is with his life. No stress, no set goals like 1 video per month etc. Comes as he pleases and share his joy and disappears like a beacon. And we'll back with our lives. Waiting to be here when he returns.
Damn, that was poetic
One day we will see the final Captain Disillusion episode, but at least that day wasn't yesterday.
He's clearly unhappy with how his career turned out, as evidenced by the ending. And I don't blame him, he's more talented and creative than ~80% of the people in the current mainstream film industry, but no chance to break in anymore.
1 video per month? more like 1 video per year.
You think he’s chill? His demeanor usually concerns me 😅
I've got to admit, I was so invested in Beckham genuinely making the shots that it took CD debunking it twice to convince me!

This feels like a throwback episode, I love it. It has all the classic elements of captain disillusion, debunking a viral sports video on the internet, featuring the return of Mr. Flare (which btw is really funny and in character, love the parody of reaction channels portrayed by him) the ending being a throwback to his first episode, and some.
I also like the sequence of you looking at the files, and that whole moment regarding AI videos and the destroyed box, which could be foreshadowing a future big video about debunking AI generated videos once and for all, since it is a heavy topic to talk about. For that, I can’t wait to see what happens next.
7:23 Did anyone notice the chat messages? Whoever wrote that line should be given a raise, that is more entertaining than the reaction video itself.
The "3 Tailed Squirrel" one? I agree!
CD wrote all the lines. He did everything.
I'd suppose that work is left to the (obviously non-paid) intern.
Nah, the chat responds to his question immediately after asking. In reality there should have been 3 seconds of delay. Obviously fake.
@@charliegnu Oh, Gaia, you’re right. Heh. Looks like we got an amateur protégé for the captain.

Did it make the video better or worse?

thank you for providing actual captions instead of relying on auto captions ❤️
This guy is an absolute pro wouldn't expect anything less
Captain Big D is a giga chad like that.
AI tech companies training their Large Multimodal Language Models are eternally grateful for all the effort CD puts into having accurate human-edited captions. There are at least 6 of his videos scraped in The Pile used in training data, according to the Proof News search tool.
There are some uploads where I turn up the brightness, make sure the screen is clean, and turn the quality all the way up, while watching on full screen, as if a feature film.
Yours, Captain, are always such films. Thank you and your team for all your hard work.
THIS! Also turning off the 2x speed to a respectable 1.25x as well
Awesome as always. Both the analysis AND your own VFX. I'm always amazed by how you manage to do all of this in such a relatively short amount of time
Every single time you upload I'm again reminded why you only upload once or twice a year. Your videos are simply on another level.

CD did this parody of most reaction streamer videos so well that my brain defaulted to skipping through the vapid and boring commentary those people do.
That's beyond good visual effects man.
even the usernames are on point XD
@@socoamarettojustineit only lacks the delay it usually has.
@@MarceldeJong the only unrealistic thing was that some messages appeared a bit prior to the event on screen

1:02 also love the callback
was just about to comment the exact same about 1:02
not just watching the visuals, but literally catching something off with *the speed of sound* is incredible
I was actually thinking it's weird that we actually hear the ball hit the can at the beginning before he even got to it, and I thought he was gonna talk about that, but we still can hear it from far away and the fact that he measured the distance and all that and got to the delayed sound is more clever and impressive.
I only just discovered Captain Disillusion in 2024. I have his entire catalogue to watch!

I've been watching Captain Disillusion for years, and I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all the incredible content you've created!
That Mr. Flare streamer parody was so spot on, it actually seemed like one
I don't streamers (except the guy who makes Japanese prints) since I am old (and so is that Japanese print guy) and I found this segment cringe inducing. However, I understand he has captured perfectly how awful these things are.
What an amazing video! The bit with Mr. Flare was both a great riff on the format while still keeping the debunk going with new information, very fun!
I didn't realize how much I needed this video before I saw it. Thank you Captain Disillusion; the effects work was amazing, the video made me laugh out loud numerous times and the sign-off was a well needed reminder! Thanks again, and always remember to love with your heart, but use your head for everything else xxx
I love the little reference to the humane AI pin at the beginning - projecting the UI on your foot
The wait between uploads is always worth it on this channel.
Always worth the wait
"Chat is this real?"
I saw your video and instantly clicked to watch. Thank you for all the hard work you've put in over the years. You're an awesome creator.
Extraordinary content for RUclips. Astounding production sir. You are among the very few, and deserve far more accolades than you have received. Thank you for the content you give us.
even at 2m subs this channel remains underrated
you're one of the only people who does the "youtuber character/side characters" thing in an entertaining and satisfying way. both the quality of effects and the acting helps it come together in a way that always leaves me wanting more.
Captain Disillusion is the only RUclips creator that I am confident in liking the video before it even starts. Everything churned out from this channel is a masterpiece and will always be a great watch. It's just a shame that all the effort, skill and persistence that is put into these videos doesn't appease the fickle RUclips algorithm.
Each episode is as a treasure. This is the only show I'm excited to watch. Thank you. Please keep creating more ❤
it must be so exhausting for cd to paint the top half of his face like that for every video
Must take hours to get the hair effect looking similar to Alan’s!
Well, I mean, he only releases a video every 6 years or so for a reason...
Actually, his skin is silver. He paints the bottom half of his face a peach color to seem more relatable.
Unfortunately his peach face paint reacts with his silver face, leaving a black corrosive line.
@@fieryvale????
@@C73k That's the lore. I don't remember which video it's from. I've seen 'em all.
This is the greatest RUclips channel of all time. I will never get bored of watching and rewatching the Captain's videos.
Kaptain Kristian is legendary. Dark journalist is a true “red pill”. I’d put Captain up there too
it's one of the few remaining channels where videos require a high time investment directly in their production (i.e. it isn't just a recap of an external high-effort project), and this effort is put towards something useful, instead of scriptwriting for a five hour video essay by a polisci undergrad about the backyardigans.
@@stdcall A good video essay about the Backyardigans sounds excellent and I’d love to watch that. Interesting, fun things don’t need to be “useful” to be valuable. But I agree that channels that specifically endeavor to provide novel experiences are rarer on RUclips today. This doesn’t mean they don’t exist though, they certainly do. I just think Captain’s storytelling and “commitment to the bit” on top of the VFX expertise is absurdly well done, which is an unusual combination in general. Channels concerned with “technical concepts” on RUclips do frequently lack the silliness and depth of artistry on display here, but that comes with the territory.
@@apt_get i meant 'useful' more to separate technical artistry (i.e. vfx) from the softer kind of work (critical analysis). apart from value provided, building a house more definitely requires a certain work threshold than finding allegories in children's shows, and whatever lessons there are are less ambiguously imparted.
this channel /is/ fairly unique in that, i think -- there are animation channels that might have more work put in per frame, and DIYers that do literally build houses on video, but in CD's case, the effort is /not/ a critical component in the actual goal (education) like it is for animation, nor does the output exist in any capacity outside of the produced video (like it does for a DIY project).
sorry it took a while to read your response, i was on vacation. banff, alberta is lovely this time of year.
I can't believe the quality of video and acting in these videos, not just the special effects and editing. But the fact that you basically nailed the video reactor/streamer persona perfectly
Captain Disillusion's videos are unbelievably good. I noticed the script itself is so well written, it's a feat! I think a youtube video cannot be more perfect.
You’re a true RUclips unicorn: you make fantastic videos without the lie that doing so is super fun and easy. You’re actually honest about how hard life and work is, and about how difficult it can be to know if the things we do matter. Thank you!
Your usage of using real world references to estimate distance and sound delay is so clever.
your videos are just unbelievably well produced and entertaining that even with 0 interest in all the topics you discuss i still cant find a second to be bored
The ending makes me worried and he’d better not quit RUclips he’s like the second best channel on the whole platform 🙏🙏🙏

This was great! And honestly, even though artists make mistakes, it's still impressive how convincing some effects can be until you completely deconstruct them.

I have suspicions he actually planned that then, this was an outtake that he planned to use sometime in the future for an end gag, this makes sense considering how easy it is to edit the new footage over, also the colors is just slightly more contrasted similar to how his old videos looked.
if CD wanted to do a deaging, i think he would've recreate his oldest look, when he was skinnier so the effect would have been easier to be convincing considering the differences between the past and future CD in this video is too little
@@haveidonethisbeforethe contrast was done in post to make it look more like the old footage; 720p (at most) footage wouldn't hold up to modern 4K footage, and i don't think he would have that footage laying around after almost 15 years
@@haveidonethisbefore But, he did look skinnier in that video. If you zoom in it's a very obvious difference
@@jonathanbojorquez8395 im talking about his skinnier look from 2006 or so, he starts looking about the same weight around the 2010s.
Video after video I am still in awe of the quality of the presentation, the effects, the story. It just makes me feel so, so good. Every time. Thank you, captain ❤
These video releases are better than Christmas.
At 16:53, love that the "CD" panel that we go through at the beginning of every video is there. such good attention to detail
Cap, you have to make a movie, please. With your sense of style, love for details, amazing VFX skills and humor I would pay any money to watch something bigger than a RUclips video. I bet you'd make a great sci-fi or time travel film. Please
IDK, every single youtuber movie has kinda been terrible. CD has a good sense of humor, but that same sense of humor has been difficult to carry through a movie in basically every YT film.
Though I do feel like he always focuses on surprisingly moral lessons? He has the best chance out of anyone, he just has to avoid yes-men phenomenon, which he seems to have enough self-awareness to dodge already.
@@thatguyyouknowtheone4073The only RUclipsr movies that have been made so far are from absolutely TRASH untalented creators like Logan Paul or Shane Dawson. Using that as evidence that it could never work for a legitimately good creator like the Captain is a f**king shit take of the highest order. 🤷
But it will take 5-10 years without channel updates, I don't want it this way
