your videos and production quality have remained ridiculously consistent over time.. I can't believe this is from 8 years ago. Also apparently you age very well.
Well of course, as you may have noticed he occasionally dies in some of his videos - this is to reverse ageing by putting himself in a locked cycle of death and rebirth.
2007.. You've been doing this for 10 years, and you never stopped, you never let the low view/subscriber count stop you. I'm so happy that you're slowly rising up to where you should have been in 2010 when I first discovered your channel. Keep making videos, they are really unique to RU-vid. ^_^
I just discovered this year Jan 2019 and have been watching so many. (came from Mark Rober) Great channel that needs more. But finally hit 1 mil subs :-D
@@aradia9726 haha... I've been on the internet since just about the beginning and I tend to keep stuff a long time, I still have emails saved from 1997
This determination and self confidence is what it takes.. He kept the same formula because he knew his content was unique and would eventually get recognition. I can't find the same quality of video content anywhere. It's because of you that I decided to learn how to do my own VFX. I have much to learn
The fact that his productions have barely changed since 2007 is absolutely insane. He either had an excellent plan starting out or it was a massive fluke. I'm guessing it was the former. Brilliant as always Captain!
Sorry, the really old ones weren't created in HD, so not much point to up-res them all the way to 1080. However, you can see them in much better quality (and support my channel in the process) if you get the DVD! captaindisillusion.com/store
thanks for the heads-up. I love your work just bought one. I know it's not much but, I had to give you more than a like. I'm going to start uploading soon and this has been very informative.
Just like how there is a benefit to upscale a 1080p video to 4k before uploading to youtube because youtube compresses it less, there will be a large quality increase if you upscale your old videos and re-upload them to youtube. Especially that super compressed audio.
delving into the archives for more captain content and its amazing how consistent the quality has been. dreading reaching the end of the rabbit hole though
bruh, this guy hasnt changed a thing like what other youtubers. His intro and outro and the way he films his videos are still the same. I swear this guy deserves more than 2.05 mill subs.
That reminds me, the other day I saw a Yahoo Answers question and a reply said "a decade ago" as the reply time... Also, it turns out the oldest RU-vid comment is- drumroll please, almost 12 years old. It's older than a lot of people who use RU-vid!
I never would have been able to figure all of that out. Guess I'd have to know more about special effects. Good job, C.D.! And your ending on this was CLASSIC!
I didn’t know that there were any of his videos that I haven’t watched, low and behold here this one arrives. He was so different 15 years ago “We may be able to take it down, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t require a lot of work”
I love how the creators of the original video said Captain D only figured out _some_ of the effects; everything he explained was simple enough that if they _didn’t_ do it as described, it would have to be even more complicated. It doesn’t exactly make them look better…
.....did you film the words "had to tape" in the final monologue separately (in reverse?) to show what the filmmakers were doing? It stutters a bit so it could be an artifact of compression? Or am I really thick and it's supposed to be obvious?
It's true, you never change but your quality did. The best cheapest 2007 camera now exists on 2018. Well done capt'n, you've sailed my ship to heaven...
God Blessed Video 2 Did you know that DVD is a standard definition only format because mpeg2 encoded HD video requires a lot more space than the capacity of a DVD??
Yes, I do know about that. But CD already filmed these in SD-only back in the day, and those clips are only on the DVD release, not on the web. That's what i meant to say.
God Blessed Video 2 I didn't say they were on the web, I was asking about the master copies. Typically videos, especially ones involving effects made with computers, are filmed at a much higher resolution than they're published in. The point is to eliminate aliasing and other artifacts, make the effect look more natural, and less grafted on. These higher resolution versions are called "masters", and I was asking if he has any intention of using the masters (assuming he hasn't destroyed them) to make HD versions.
three videos later..... subbed great stuff man, i have always called out the authenticity of these videos but have never actually be able to figure then out.
***** You don't say? It was strange for me to see that becuase a level of your videos is still the same. Great montage, great audio, great FX and camera work. All backstage is still very professional but I was surprised just 240p resolution :)
Bunch Productions hes not joking back when youtube started there was 1 qoulty setting then they added a second so it was low and high high being 480p it was only in recent years hd was added. whats realy crazy is that the captain started doing this at a time when no one was doing video reviews of viral videos.
Damn, you've been on here since the beginning huh. Back when Fred was all the rage, monetization wasn't a thing and I posted the cringiest video ever made, which I've also yet to delete for some reason.
