23000 subs is pretty fucking good on YT. It shows people like you. A lot. But you need to make content, or it's completely wasted. CD is one of the two people I am most disappointed with on YT for having amazing talent and yet lets it be squandered. It's really a fucking shame. :<

While your videos rank amongst the best, but the subject matter may not exactly have the same kind of mass appeal. Afterall, it is more entertaining to see a magic trick than see the magic revealed. Perhaps if you do a combination of both, you will be one of the most popular channels
There's an easy way to do it with any video editing software that has chromakey feature (and even easier with keyframes). Simply do the animation of colored cardboards (moving red shapes on green background etc) - or MS paint, Gimp etc if that's your bag - and replace each color with a picture (example: Unlit candles for green and lit for red). With hour of planning the shapes can be perfected so the animation can be fitted with the candles (not leaving one side of candle lit and other unlit
I don't know if I support this. "Debunking" ghost stories and other serious beliefs, or hoaxes where money or threats to one's health is involved is one thing, but isn't this more like telling how magicians do their tricks?
dude u make awesome videos, you remind me of bill ny the science guy (i think thats how to you spell it) but u should make more videos, u really have something going on here
was just randomly browsing through my view history and wow... You're very well liked. This video got a 6.2% like rate, compare that to say the ABC clip of the royal wedding which got a 0.25% view to "like" ratio. So this video is 24 times more likable than the royal wedding :D
I'll have to look into that procedural animation method you mention. I'm getting into expressions but I'm either not made out for it or it's just a slow process..
@SlyEcho If you think creating animation by writing out code line by line is easier than the method I presented, then I will gladly take your bet. And the reason for the circles is that in the real shot of lit candles, the areas between candles actually look slightly different. The candlelight affects them, so a grid would reveal the difference and be slightly noticeable. Circular mattes in the exact shape of the candles make it seamless.
thanks for another awesome video, and what a way to compliment and own a person at the same time lol. I'll keep my eye out for the next one it always makes my day better to see a new video from you in my subscription area.
WOW, CaptainDisillusion. Now turn your all seeing eye on September 11, 2001. And show how buildings falling at free-fall speed is all bullshit - lies.
@OzzyPatriot And after that, he can go on to prove the moon landings were staged, Elvis is still alive and the world sits atop four elephants and a giant flying turtle.
Or he can concentrate his awesomeness on the real world.
@OzzyPatriot Um, the twin towers never fell at free-fall speed. Or the debris wouldn't have mushroomed out like that. Go hang out on a 911 conspiracy video with the other naive 12 year olds who wrongly think the REST of us are the ones who are gullible sheep.
You also can do it with open-source (i.e. free) software: GIMP, ImageMagick and the Magick-Bindings/scripting language of your choice (Ruby in my case). For movie exports I'd use VideoLAN or Mencoder.
Sorry, didn't realise the Captain was your personal free entertainment monkey. Maybe instead of bitchin' you should take some inspiration and go do something yourself.
Great video. To do the circles you could possibly position cylinders in 3d space intersecting a plane in the manner of the photo, from the same perspective, and output a b/w image based on the closest points on surface of that plane to cylinders to control which are lit. Then have a script that changes which cylinders are calculated in the surface distance based on an animated image sequence or whatever.
Really Cpt. D. This was worth a video? Your better than this, your a superhero man, this is like batman fighting a wasp. Great to see you again though. You rock.
juhu another 3 minute CD video that took him like ..4 months. i mean it just looks better and more professional than anything else on youtube but MAKE IT FASTER. and its very ironic that CD give someone else a tip on how to make a video faster...
As a stop motion animator, I am still very much impressed with the video regardless if it was animated in the way the audience naturally assumed it was. And I am equally, if not more, impressed by your response to it. Keep up the good work Captain.
Oh hey, a new video! I don't suppose you can append a link to an example expression for what you did, could you? I've been trying for a similar effect but I've been having a heck of a time since I'm not that great with AE expressions.
I know another trick to change seemingly unobtainable expensive software to the average Joe into the same software only minus a price-tag!! But I'm not telling...
