New Video Early Access

God I love these :) the VFX explanation at the end was amazing. That tracking dot removal... what a bugger! Maybe next time don't have shadows pass straight over the tracking dot area if you can help it??

David Macdonald

Really great! What was the endscreen music (or was it an original composition)?

Steve

true.. some wealthy film producer will probably "make him an offer he can't refuse" regardless, I wish him all the success that might come his way. Definitely one of the best content creators on "the tube"

great work, and nice touch adding a tutorial, it made me become a patron, because i wanted to know more about how you do your amazing videos :)

Bizzaro.

I just realized the end music has a "Mega Man" level feel to it (which is not a bad thing).

My brain hurts watching that, I can only imagine yours after all that editing. Nice job Cap ;)

Norman

Videos like this one are the reason why I am glad to be a sponsor. You go the extra steps not just to tell but also to do and show.

Ryan

I busted up at the patience meter. Above and beyond as always dude :)

Benedict Marko

Exactly, that's what I loved the most about it - the details of how to accomplish the final shot :) It's fascinating to see how much work goes into a good special effect.

Absolutely Nobody

Not only do you show how the original trick was made, you then go the extra Mythbuster's mile and do it to the extreme! Excellent and satisfying work! Thank you for these wonderful productions!

Captain Disillusion

Yay, coffee spit take :). The video is actually supposed to go live this afternoon. 'Cause I'm just that slow :(

Captain Disillusion

I only hear of them because I scour the web for video topics. Otherwise, my internet awareness would be limited entirely to watching old Star Trek shows on Netflix.

Captain Disillusion

No pizza involved. Just pure cat curiosity!

Captain Disillusion

Sigh, I do of course, but they just never get any easier. Quick Ds are about ~10% less challenging, but still a lotta work!

I thought you always had fun making these... :(

Tim Farley

The line "in a series of shots that break every possible rule of composition" almost made me spit out my coffee. Joe Michaels (director of the Today Show) will find out why his ears are burning tomorrow, I suppose.

Should I be worried I never hear of these memes until you debunk them? Awesomely, i might add.

I had to pause during the Today Show clip to recompose myself because you said everything I had always thought about that clip. "Breaking every single rule of composition" indeed.

The patience meter was hilarious. Made my day!

Clinton Lovell

Nicely done. But we all knew you were going to out-do those meymey makers. :)

David Bednarczuk

10 years? Bah! No way you could last in this game for 10 years!

I thought it was done exactly as you said but I had no Idea cheese pizzas were so hard to feed to cats

Georgia South

I really appreciate how interesting you make these even to people like me who have no knowledge of film or visual effects. Thank you! Keep doing what makes you happy!

Ali

Good stuff as usual, Cap!

DJ Flea

Awesome as always Captain D

Awesome video, thanks!

Though this isn't quite as flashy as some of the videos where you tackle more popular viral phenomena, I really enjoyed the breakdown of your version of the shot. It made me appreciate all the small details that go into making a realistic looking effect under difficult constraints - in fact, I wouldn't mind if the explanation was paced a bit slower so I could digest all the cool things going on in those ~2 seconds of video as you explain them!

Daniel Staniforth

I'm glad you quickly recovered from breaking every bone in your body! I really like the behind the scenes stuff; when I'm proud of something I've done the thing I most want to do is show how it was done :)
