I love it when Captain inserts himself into the shot without mentioning it. It's like he's explaining their editing techniques while simultaneously mocking it. Like a "look what I can do". It's so sarcastically done, I love it.

SovietWomble and your editing and his are some of my favorites

SmarterEveryDay hey destin! Love your videos! This has been a crazy ride for me!
I love how the visual effects of him putting himself in the scene are better than the ads visual effects
Lol, he has really good editing skills
Marvin could have just called dude perfect and they would have actually done them even if it took a thousand shots

Its like mr d and percy jackson
i dont even watch these for the debunks anymore. Just amazed at the production and acting in between it
Shesez holy crap! Amazing to see you here!
same.
damn Shesez watched Cap D, amazing!
What a coincidence, I'm subbed to both Shesez and Cap. D.
Seriously - his edits of himself as a member of the production crew are top notch!
I love how Captain D recreates the raw footage to show us what it would look like. That would be very difficult, but it shows what he's talking about so effectively.
Yeah, not only does he recreate the original footage, he re-does the editing on top of his footage
and it look better than the VFX done by the original videos (I mean that it looks more real)
That's dedication right there. I love it.
He doesn't get enough credit, i think, for the incredible amount of work he puts into his videos.
Oh I know. It's GREATLY appreciated, too.
I love how his effects are better than the ones he is debunking

7:26 YOU ADDED YOUR SHADOW TO THAT SHOT! YOU ABSOLUTE MADMAN!
Woah! WTF
OMG
It was the sun you dingus

just added fake light source in the montage program and made a shadow from himself.
7:24 Capt D makes sure to include his own shadow on the ground. So much dedication.
Hmm I see copy cat

Hehe funny

8:51 you forgot one thing his hand went through the tape
Oh yeah
Wow how did I not notice that
Houdini confirmed
I did not notice, now I can't unsee it
Omg cap d didnt notice
I always think it’s so impressive how he manages to place himself in shots, or visually deconstruct scenes when all he has to work with is a shoddy quality compressed internet video. Like he must have to spend ages degrading his recorded footage and dealing with blocky compression artefacts to match the source when a VFX studio (by comparison) would always have the luxury of raw high def footage to work with.
We Don't Know Anyang
Yes, he's so good at that!
Or he film it shitty fimsef so it matches The video, making it easier to do
he has made a point to always try to track down the original source so i imagine it sometimes helps him get the best possible version of a video that hasn't been corroded down by compression from multiple reposts
He needs to make a video deconstructing his own editing.
I love how these videos look like they're normal youtube videos, then randomly CD throws in professional level special effects just to show he can.
You mean visual effects. Special effects are the practical ones, he's doing VFX.
@@fourcgames7568 to be fair, captain d's visual effects are pretty special
@@thechairguy yeah of course they are, I 100% agree, I never said otherwise.
@@fourcgames7568 Practical effects are also visual effects, because they affect the visuals. Digital effects are special effects because they're special.
Hope this helps.
The light switch scene was suspect because it has a switch cover. Reason I say that it because the cover is installed after the drywall has been placed.
Good catch, never considered that
@@astro6009 maybe their wiring work is as shoddy as their effects
I think it was more of a director's decision sort of deal. Probably didn't think people would recognize an unshrouded light switch.
I'm remodeling my room and I put the covers on before
Electricians will put the covers on so they can complete the invoice and get paid and it's up to the contractor to remove them and put them back on
It's a scheduling issue you don't let one subcontractor stop another one from completing their work
I declare that this is one example of a perfect CZcams channel.
Loved the end where he simultaneously skewered the ad agency while warmly complimenting his fan.
So you're just gonna sit here and make me binge watch all your videos because they are quality content?? Fine...
Did you call me?
(FINE)
I feel called out
Capton D sounds perverse to me
Felt that 😂
@@yt2008able That's the point :3
I love how he kept missing the name.
and i love how at the end, he got real, complimented the guy on his work and got the name right
Yeah, I agree Steviebar
I’m Jason Rodgers
Jason Rodgers ok
Do you not think that was faked too
Marvin could have just called dude perfect and they would have actually done them even if it took a thousand shots
I'd call out to both
I don’t know about you guys, but our tape measures will snap back unless you manually pull it, so it won’t even go a metre by doing that
@@itsnotnate420 True, but if you wanted to do these tricks you could (relatively) easily modify a TM to either reduce or remove the spring force which causes it to rewind.
That'd be less fake than CGI, at least.
Robbie still a problem, it’s like throwing a rope over a room by only holding its end. Like dude perfect would say, There are the tricks you can do and those you must fake
Now I'm thinking of getting Captain D on Dude Perfect. Their videos are pretty cool, and I'm partial to thinking that they are real just because none of it seems completely impossible, but you never know.
On the other hand, I think they've had verified Guinness World Records on video. (I should note that GWR is corrupt and pointless, but I'm pretty sure they at least don't get in on fakes)
It cut away after like 3 seconds but the email/dm joke was my favorite part of this video with the differences between how he writes the email versus the dm to the company
And the DM got the reply first.
I love how in the dm he yells at them for an explanation then plugs his CZcams channel

This video, much like others you've done, is so informative and painstakingly exhaustive, that it should be required watching on advanced VFX artist courses. Great job CD.
But it's old news...
You're confused, the artists who made these shitty commercials were trying to get it done in the least amount of time with the money they were given. They are probably laughing that so much frame by frame analysis went into something they did in a weekend and never cared about.
Don't teach new artists to do everything frame by frame perfect, it's just makes you insane and broke.
Yep exactly Jon, and it is the same problem with some computer programmers. The objective was met within budget, the client was happy, that is all that really matters in the business world not how perfect the details of your work are.
Jon Shaffer I disagree. As artists, they can learn what not to do from professional mistakes as much as from flawless works. And students shouldn't be taught how to do the bare minimum for their job; they should be taught how to excel and stand out in their field. Whether they want to actually make an extra effort to be the best is up to them, but at least their education should give them the chance. It's what higher education should be about anyways.
Students should be taught how to excel AND how to do the bare minimum. If they can't do the bare minimum, they will never be successful. Engineers and techies often are horrible business people who have no sense of budget at all. It is imperative to get the job done to the satisfaction of the client and do NO more.

Your work should be mandatory watching for VFX courses in colleges.
They should also be tasked with debunking other videos on their own.
this looks like premiere right?
If a VFX instructor doesn't mention Cpt. D at all, then they aren't qualified.
Capt D is really good but that doesn't necessitate gatekeeping VFX instructors ;)
Coi1221 But it's entertaining AND informative! I mean, don't make a rubric around his videos, that's weird, but just "how to spot errors" and how to grade your own work, you know?
But I wanted to hear your controversial views on religious appropriation of gendered race politics, darn it!

That shot of Pepé Le Pew over "Charming and relentless" was so savage.
7:24 he literally inserted himself into the shot in a way that literally looks real, and even made sure to do a legit shadow on the shot
Not enough literally
So all it takes for the Captain to notice you is a message of help to fully debunk a viral vid... and also a well thought out and executed video showing your own thoughts on how its been faked.
Or leaving a comment lol
Classy and gracious of you to credit Jackson for his effort (and quality of his work), Captain D!
TooMuchFreeTime i know, right?
You mean Jason Rogers, Jensen, Jamie, Jeremy, Jasper, Jacob Ronalds, Jefferson, Jethro, and finally gets his name right at the end. I got just as much of a kick out of him saying the wrong name as I did the actual debunking :)

"Religious appropriation of gendered race politics"
Now that's a spicy meatball if I ever saw one.
I got triggered at "anyone"
I think the internet would literally explode.
the best part is how he starts off with what have very obviously been a sweeping generalization
Captain Jealousy!
The assistant shots where you added yourself were really quite clever.
It was a bad idea to drink water when he first appeared in the shot. I had to pause it so I didn't choke from laughter.
me before watching this video: wow those tape measure skills look pretty convincing!
me after watching this: i mean of course you can see the terrible composite work! you cant miss it
Thats what we all do
That's why they make these videos in the first place, because people like you are gullible enough to believe it.
Pfft i alway's saw the shoddy cuts and those stupid shadows kept distracting me, yeah i know stuff about vfx trust me i do.
Every time I see a CD video in my feed my heart jumps, then I realize it's not new, then I watch it anyway.
I guess something must have bumped Captain D through CZcams’s algorithm ceiling as I’ve never heard of this AMAZING CZcamsr until today. Pleased to be at the party, however late.
Same here!
It was collaboration.
I've noticed that CZcams's recommendations seem to have been getting a lot better lately. I think the recent addition of the "I'm not interested" button for suggestions has been giving Google some valuable data for refining their system.
Me too I got him off of mark rober
Same here. I came here after mark Rober debunked a drone phone. But better late than never. Captain D is so passionate about what he is doing. The details in his work to present these awesome videos are amazing

The fact that I've seen the video like 5 times and this is the first time I've even bothered to look at the windows in the background shows this is actually a non-effective ad campaign for that company. Until this video, of course.
I never saw the fact that it was integrity Windows I wonder if the advert agency created this kid to get this guy to advertise the fact the advert was for the windows....
It is an effective ad campaign actually. By showing the windows in a normal environment, their normalizing the fact the company exists. And gradually through time, drills the image into our heads. So whenever need a companies services, we think of that company above all.
@@honkhonk8009 it isn't effective... Otherwise people would know it was for Windows..I don't know anyone who realised that.
Its not to tell people its for windows. its basically to tell people the brand just generally exists. its a form of propaganda actually. Its supposed to be slight and not that seeable
@@honkhonk8009 It's basically brainwashing. Even if it doesn't work as a subliminal, anyone who was _considering_ Integrity Windows is now more likely to get them.
Damn this dudes gotta be one of the most passionate and hard working at what he does. I understand very little of the complexity and yet i can still grasp just how labor intensive his vids must be.
Man, you really sell that invisible assistant role. I love how genuine your expressions are while doing it!
I guess the only plus side of Captain Disillusion being so undersubscribed is that the the comment section stays so nice. His videos have some of the nicest comment threads on youtube.

im not sure if yall dont know how to use the simplest form of meme, or if you dont know that something called the "youtube algorithm" exists.
Either way, the "joke" was executed terribly at best.
I worked with an ad company once that produced an ad where someone bounced a basketball on his head over and over while taking off shirts that had different messages on them, ending with a shot of him bouncing it into the basket. Know how they faked that? They didn't. According to the director, it only took a few shots. You can hear them all cheering in the ad. They left that in as a sound effect.
They also produced ads with visual effects, of course. That just wasn't one of them. I worked with a guy who built a motor to spin to Tostitoes chip like a basketball. On that Tostitoes commercial, they also had a continuity specialist come in to re-set the bowl of chips after every take so it looked right. She was adjusting the salsa with a toothpick. I was both impressed and amused.
I'd absolutely believe it. They call special effects "movie magic" for a reason, and 90% of pulling off the more mind-boggling effects is doing something in a way so convoluted, and with so much attention to fine detail, that no sane person would ever imagine doing it that way.
Here I am 5 years later. New video of Cap is out, binge rewatch the whole channel must be performed. Peace.
Well since you were the assistant all the shots of course you know how they were done!
This is amazing. LMAO such a great way to present information.

Amazing.
I always love coming back to this channel because it is nowadays one of the rarest channels that are solely dedicated to pure, innocent entertainment. Whereas the majority of other CZcamsrs have abandoned their original content in search for drama related crap, calling out other CZcamsrs for the sake of even more drama and doing shitty, click-baiting challenges, CaptainDisillusion has remained true to his content and fanbase.
And for so much more time! Most of their channels weren't even conceived yet, when the captain became our savior!
There are plenty of channels that don't do that shit. Most channels about technical topics avoid it. Stay away from 'entertainment' and more towards the 'education' side of the spectrum and you'll be spared the middle school bickering.
@Dustin fully agreed!
1. He clearly loves video editing as a whole. 2. His Patreon is doing great. I wouldn't be surprised if he is doing this full time now.

Wow, the ad looks really sloppy when it’s broken down.
But I'm still having fun seeing all the cuts for some reason.
One of the best videos you've done Cap. A real education to watch.
Man this was one of the best videos. As someone who loves learning (but knows nothing about video editing), it was really easy to follow and understand and made me want to learn how to do these things.
Its a common editing practice to use a command like "wiggle" in after effects to "add life" to a static, or 'locked off', shot. Used subtly it can make a shot a little more visually interesting, used too much and you get a ridiculous motion sickness inducing transformers-esque mess. Of course, its also a powerful tool to hide VFX ;)

Ive used tapes almost everyday for 25 years... all different brands too. They DO NOT act like this when you yank on them or they would not retract. Also they only stay stiff for 10-12 feet depending on angle and thickness of the tape. Great videos btw cap!

he also chose to paint the challenging part. Having the eyes painted this convincingly is hard work. Also the colour really makes it look like skin.
That video you press "Like" before halfway through.
