  • When are you going to post new stuff? It's been months now.

  • wow, your vids where really wel done...

  • Thanks for sharing this....Reminds me a little of the show Myth Busters (although MB can be very annoying but your character is likable)

  • 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. :<

  • no blood at the end?

  • How was this never in with my subscriptions?!

  • omg, the ending was unexpected. I wet my pants laughing. after recovering from the total shock. LOL Great video as always. (Now I'm off, there is a shower that is calling out my name....)

  • Your videos are pretty much the best. Sorry theyre probably so time consuming, but this is what quality is.

  • No, your name is Captain Melikdjanian, a name I cannot pronounce.

  • 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

  • @Retardretroguy Most times old fashioned stuff with low tech computer effects are the easiest and fastest way to do it.

  • As always - great video!

  • Awesomeee :D

  • 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 you should be debunking the ufos in arizona 2011

  • 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

  • Make more videos!

  • When u ganna have another video

  • OK - Must do this in C++/OpenGL now.

  • Yay you're back :)

  • Did you know that "Brusspup" is latin for "Brain Fuck"?!

  • Smart! Congratulations.

  • Captain D! You said that you have over 260k subs, but now, it's only 23k subs! WTF?

  • @PokemonRulez2468 I was talking about (and showing a picture of) the channel of the person who made the video being discussed, not my own channel.

  • @CaptainDisillusion Ohhh!!! I thought it was YOUR channel! Sorry for the confusion!

  • @PokemonRulez2468 Wow, it seems people's listening comprehension is getting as bad as their reading comprehension these days.

  • @PokemonRulez2468 Yet, he deserves the amount spoken.

  • You should provide the AFX project.

  • Comment removed

  • I think he can't make new videos because there is no new videos to debunk!

  • Love your videos.

  • Please, make more videos....

  • yoooooo just found this channel, youre the man. make more vidz. everyday bape.

  • well look whos mr observant. not that i dont like that though

  • Hell yeah CD, you rule!!!!! <3

  • Make more video's I love all of your stuff!

  • 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..

    I'll try to do this though!!

  • I luv yr vids capn d!!!

  • APOLLO debunk!

  • Maybe if you could update a little more often, Cap...

  • 8 people didn't have expensive motion graphics software...

  • You need expensive software for this? I bet I could do it in Avisynth. And why draw circles? Couldn't you just use a grid?

  • @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.

  • @CaptainDisillusion you really need to take a look at NQghosthunter and his videos!!

  • Cap D, if you want 200k subs, you should make more videos ...

  • @djbanizza Yeah he only has 26 >>

  • Your videos are great! It's been a while. Looking forward to the next one! Thx

  • 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.

  • Nice :-)

  • That's a cool looking effect. :)

  • Debunk APOLLO moon landings.

    I dare you

  • @iammichealray You can't debunk something that is actually true, numbnuts.

  • Yaaaaaay thank you for returning.

  • Yeah it's Geek time!

  • WB CD, been a while.

  • Wow long time with out posting, I just hope this will be the stat of a new season of cool eyeopening videos

  • Owned by bigfoot.

  • Welcome back!

  • Kinda prefer the debunk videos but it's great to see Captain D is still alive tho. Huzzah!

  • STILL SO TECHY!!!!

    Way beyond my skills, but thanks for sharing!

    And... Happy Easter!

  • Man your so cool!

  • are you a part of the silver men group?

  • even though he only releases a video every 5 or 6 months, CD is still worth the sub.

    see ya in OCTOBER, CD!

  • it doesn't matter if it's fake, i still love Brusspups videos :D

  • @jonathanh95 I agree! Brusspup has some awesome illusions.

  • great vid as always

  • See you again next year!

  • MOREMOREMORE

  • haha you pwnd him :D

  • Omg! sweet keep posting! your vids are awesome dude! keep-em coming :D

  • great like always

  • I'm a CD subscriber and never heard of brusspup.

  • its about fuckin time, captain disillusion!

  • You are a genius. I am subscribing.

  • Is Mr. Flare on vacation? I like him way better than his silver faced sidekick. Still, I enjoyed the video.

  • YES it's CD!

  • nosebleed

  • @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

    You're still a 9/11 "truther" after all these years of the movement being repeatedly proven wrong? Damn, that's some stubborn foolishness.

  • @OzzyPatriot

    I'm not even sure why you'd bring that up here or why you'd think he'd care.

  • @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.

  • Philinthecircle has done things like this the "real" way, an amazing channel.

  • I love you.

  • It's really hard to masturbate to this video

  • Superb Cappy! Don't make us wait so long for the next one please!

  • freaking finally

  • Good to see you're still around!

  • i have to admire your comitment to this character. the make up must take a while to apply and be a reall pain in the bum to take off afterwards.

  • you are the BEST. Please, please continue.

  • this guy needs a TV show. somebody call discovery.

  • please explain the horseman of the apocalypse video, I know its your old friend lens flare

  • for someone so technically involved, you forgot that replay button at the end is fairly outdated

  • I've said it before and I'll say it again. Is it just me or does show/channel have a really really 90s feel to it? I love it.

  • Is Captain D John Leguizamo?

  • hahaha wtf is up with that random monkey at the end!

  • What a new video, who is this person faking CD? He would never upload a video for this viewers. (Hey I need to give ya shit)

  • You know? Is true we get a new video every time a Pope dies but at least the quality is consistent enough to make it worthy.

  • why the face paint?

  • Wish you uploaded more often CD, I love your stuff.

  • This is the best channel on YouTube.

  • Thanks so much for the great update. Hopefully that animal attack won't deprive us from your radiance for too long :) love ya.

  • Good to see you.

  • i reckon it just takes him 6 months to put that makeup on.

  • Oh that was just outright goofy! I loved it.

  • finally :) !!! love the videos keep them up ! i dont care how long I wait

  • lol good vid

  • More videos

  • Six months and that's all you have to offer captain?

  • @Snustad

    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.

  • a tad too cocky?

  • took you a year and a half to make this video

  • @lostinthegame77

    Well, actually 4 months. But close enough.

  • You're back!!! IIt was about time! :)

  • Hey CD, so nice to see you back with another video!

  • Maybe you'd have 200 thousand subscribers if you updated more ::coughcoughnottryingtobeadick­i'mjustsayingcough::

  • Nice work as usual.

  • Oh my gosh you're back! Thanks for the video.

  • Holy fuck, you are amazing!

  • what don't you try and debunk the dr reed alien case

  • I only write comments to get highlighted on his facebook page pictures.

  • 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.

  • new video! zomgz

  • @ZaliUberPictures he'll be alright :D

  • are you back? please be back CD!!!1

  • What I hate most of all about CD's videos is waiting so long for a new one to come out.

    What happened to Mr. Flare? Now he is probably feeling jealous of all the attention he's giving to these candles!

    Stupid Bigfoot interrupted before you're famous quote.

    Love with your heart (and I love this channel), use your head for everything else!

  • where have you been and please tell me you are back for good

  • To be fair you don't put out enough videos to be that popular, you take too long between them.

    If you want more subscribers you really need to speed up production, just saying.

  • Yay You're Alive. I was afraid one of the four major conspiracies had gotten you.

  • wow theta is cool i wish i cud do same thing like these

  • 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...

  • what a douche

  • =( Where have you been, we are victim to any illusion without you CD!

  • though far between uploads, I enjoy everyone the same.. thank you for enlightening us!

  • Holy smokes, Disillusioneers. The Captain needs our help!

  • there are much easier ways.

  • Finally!

  • I love your stuff. There have been a few time when I've seen a video and said...hmm.....I could pull a CD on this!

    :D

    Hope you make more videos soon!

  • Wtf was that outro about?? O_o

  • 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.

  • More Quick D videos.

  • Damn, I just got disillusion'd!

  • do the one about the ninja squirrel. all my friends think it's real, but squirrels don't jump that fast (i think) help cap'n help!!

  • Thank God he's back! I was about to go OUTSIDE! D:

  • i thought you left!! we were lost without you

  • Goddamn, Cap. I though ya died. Good to see you back.

  • he is back !

  • The candle illusion should have read "more videos pleeeeeeeeease!!!!!".

    Seriously, please?

  • 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 love the explanation, very informative. & how you did it, shows you clearly did it that way. .. or could have .. :)

  • Keep making videos captain!!

  • Why so long between videos??

  • Glad to see you again CD, I missed you

  • I had totally forgotten that I was subscribed to you

  • omg...he posted a vid

  • He got 250,000 subscribers with a gazillion videos. You got 22,000 with what, like 15? I mean, damn.

  • @Shalek why does Captain Disillusion only have 22000 subscribers. The videos are such quality and general awesomeness..

  • Guys, consider this.

    CD has to find a good fake video, find out how it was done then make the vid with all the effect he uses.

  • I gotta agree with everybody else. More videos = more subscribers.

  • Post more and get the subscribers you deserve :D.

  • 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...

  • if you would do more vids you'd have more subscriber then brusspup. i guarantee

  • With One Video A Week, You'll Surpass Them All.

  • finally captain:D

    

  • I wish there was a rating higher than like... you'd get it.

  • It has been a while, nice to see you back.

  • Awesome. I actually enjoy these types of videos, about special effects, over the paranormal ones.

  • NEW Captain D! Must... get... more.

  • Glad you're back Captain. Your videos are awesome.

  • What about the videos from Rymdreglage?
