New Video Early Access: World's Greatest Blenderer
🕑 Added 2018-11-08 00:49:07 +0000 UTC Boooooy.Fixing up the recording of my talk ended up a bigger job than I expected. The original livestream was okay, but there were quite a few technical issues, including some important visuals not being shown at the right time.
I color-corrected the entire video, remixed the sound and edited some of the excessive stammering and water drinking I was doing on stage to make this near-perfect "director's cut" version of the show.
You'll notice that the Patreon community and a few individual supporters get featured (pwned) in one part of the talk. I hope you know it's done with love and admiration for you all :)
Please enjoy!

Looks like you got me converted to blender...
Can you tell me if and how i can find original live stream?
I had to pause and rewind this many, many times to make sure I wasn’t imagining a cue or reference. You possess a rare combination of humor and skill. Proud to be a patrEon, Captain.
Taylor Hensley
Nah, I enjoyed the whole thing.
Eric Blom
You are an amazing multitalented artist.
You should post shorter videos on your channel with the best parts from this talk (e.g. the song). Most casual youtube viewers won't want to watch the whole 40 minute video, but would probably enjoy seeing the bits from it
John Edwards
All these years and I finally made it into a CD video! Kind of.
Dan Kuehling
So wait....you used Blender in the scene with Ami Yamato? I don't get it, what part of the scene wasn't real? ;-)
Kerry Aitken
Great video mate. One of the most engaging talks I have seen online.
Captain Disillusion
Yeah, unfortunately that’s something that couldn’t be fixed. The original livestream was having an issue and and started skipping frames. That’s how it was recorded.
Clint Hobson
That was epic! I'm glad you incorporate Captain Disillusion in your talks!
your a genius Alan!
Wow, that was both entertaining and educative in the same time! Great stuff Captain D 😊
Thanny
Lot of hitching in the presentation video starting around 27:00 or so.
Sheepless
I've just watched a 41-minute Blender skit, and I was entertained the whole time. I wouldn't have thought that was possible!
My comment made it too! I was in the way!
Captain Disillusion
;D

Yep! QLab added DMX light control, so I had to play with it. :) I dragged two heavy lights all the way to Europe, but one wasn't compatible with local power so I had to hurriedly reprogram the other to do the job of both, minutes before the audience was let in.
Vince Babbra
You're so talented, it actually makes me slightly nauseous...
Whoa, my comments made it to your presentation! But hey, my second comment wasn't "I guess I don't know, but I don't think you're right still". Quite the opposite. I humbly assumed my lack of CG education, and your superior knowledge, and asked some additional questions out of sheer curiosity what exactly could have cause that effect. But that was quite fun to see my little input to this. But I promise from now on I will trust you, uncle D. Sometimes :D Oh, and really great presentation, as always! Cheers!

Is there something you can’t do?! Composition, decent singing, writing scripts, acting, quick costume changes, playing instruments.... ?!!! Though I suspect the suddenly bad lighting and camera work had to do with that quick costing change being a bit too quick, you did an excellent job. I was like “there is no way he’s gonna come out as captain D... no way, no wa— WHOAH!!!!!!!”
Better than bad!
Just an absolutely fabulous piece of showmanship. I can only hope to be half as entertaining and my next live speaking event. It’s this level of creativity and comedy that makes me such and “big“ supporter
Simon Pain
Amazing effort went into this and now I see what the moving head light was for :D Is the spark off the top of the laptop a physical effect or part of the director's cut?

I also unironically liked that song.

Sylvester joke was roughhhh
Scott DePouw
Appreciate that you took the time to go through this video and spruce it up!
Uditt Lamba
this was amazing
Ian Hickson
Good lord man, your presentations have higher production values than some Hollywood movies.
Michael Aichlmayr
Ex-cellent🎥!
Jeremy Tice
I've never even used Blender, but this was a lot of fun
Useless Duck Company
Loved it
Kevin McCoy
We don't deserve you. This was amazing. Did you manage the live aspects with QLab again? Including the lighting effects?
That was beautiful.
DJ Flea
Great video Captain! I really enjoyed it a lot.
Hey, cool ... My message was scrolled-over during the Galton board pwnage segment. (Below Dan's comment is the tippy-top of my blue dot, while above Marcell's are the last couple of lines of text *cough*showingthatsettlingthingswithasimulationwaskindaMYidea*cough*.) Is this ... is this *fame*?
Yet another incredible presentation, Captain! I was dancing in my seat by the end. Any chance you'll drop a single of your Blender song? ;)
Kate Gerry
:D yay!
