The Man, The Myth, The Intern...

Captain Disillusion doesn't feel like a RU-vid channel, it really feels like a classic TV show. And I absolutely love it.

It's cute to see how shy Alan is when he's not playing the character of Captain Disillusion. I'm glad he showed up to do this video. It was only a matter of time ever since he trolled Corridor last year.

“VFX Artists react to Magic Shows” would actually be a great episode

Captain Disillusion is a relic of old youtube who's still just as amazing as he was back then. I'm glad he finally got the recognition he deserves. Edit: I didn't intend for this to seem rude or as a backhanded compliment. I should mention that I've been subbed to him since 2008 when my channel was made. The Captain along with Andrew kramer, real G's know about video copilot, are the ones who originally got me into vfx. I was about 12 back then. I'm now 23 and I'm working on getting a career in vfx!

OH MY GOD ITS REALLY HAPPENING, THE CAPTAIN HIMSELF IS HERE correcting myself, its Alan (i blame the title tbh)

Craziest thing I learned here was that Captain Disillusion films all his videos in his intern's parents' house, while still keeping his production values among the very best on youtube

15:22 His Wren impression though! That was spot on 🤣

Captain Disillusion has the highest work-per-second-of-screentime on all of RU-vid - absolutely insane production values for a one man show.

Here’s an idea guys - how about something where novice cgi artists can send you in a clip of something they have done, and you could critique it to point out what they missed, what they did well, what they could do to improve that particular effect?

It’s SOO incredible seeing Captain D really find an audience the last couple years. I’ve been watching him since 08’ and it’s always been really frustrating to see the view counts. Well, the algorithm finally pulled its head out and he got his way over due.

This was awesome! Alan absolutely nailed it when he explained how you bond with your audience and feed from one another!

"going full Wren" should be used as the official term to describe Wren-level reactions

THE CROSSOVER WE'VE ALL BEEN BEGGING FOR 🙏🙏

When I was a kid, I was seriously into magic and this video reminded me of something I learned really early on. Great magic tricks come in one of two flavors; The secret is either so obvious and easy that no one will ever consider it.... or so ridiculously difficult and complicated no-one would ever believe someone would go to that amount of trouble to achieve the effect

I really appreciate the guest appearances. I've never heard of Cpt. Disillusion, and have now spent the past few days binge watching his channel. I have no idea how I've missed his stuff over the past decade... Just goes to show how crummy RU-vid's algorithm is!

Captain Disillusion is an instant click. The man so rarely makes content and when he does it's always gold.

CD is not just really good at visual details in his videos, It's his deadpan sense of humor and writing that go a long way toward making him such a good and effective educator. What an awesome guest to have on this, another of my favorite shows on this awesome (though flawed in so many ways) platform. Great episode! He needs tocome back again.

This is my favorite so far. Listening to Captain Disillusion speak so candidly and wholesomely about his janky magic is quite inspiring. Added full to my little VFX fire.

Alan is the BEST. Seriously I love Captain Disillusion this is the collab I've been waiting for for YEARS

This was so amazing! Our two favorite VFX channels (don't tell Ryan Connelly) finally together in one video! =D

"Endgame is the best crossover in cinematic history" Corridor: Hold my Vessi shoes

I can’t believe the captain made it onto corridor. A crossover I didn’t know I needed.

Seeing how you guys often make your own sound FX, I think doing an Audio Engineers React or a Foley Artists React would be incredible, too.

I've been waiting for this collab since you started this show two years ago! Great seeing Intern Alan on the couch... reviewing my favorite film of all time, no less! 😁

"What else do we do this for?" **immediate cut to sponsored segment** perfection.

CD is incredibly lucky to have not changed physically all that much in that time - the continuity between his 2007 and 2021 work is staggering

Captain Disllusion is so underrated, he is one of smart guys who see things very unique way. I truly enjoying watching more of him.

Can't believe the Captain was so kind that he put on full-body makeup to make him look more human and alike with the Crew!

I see Captain, I must watch. He's taught me so much about animation, and he's one of the few RU-vidrs where you can watch a video from 2011 and apart from the maximum available resolution, nothing has changed when compared to the video released last month. His dedication is inspiring. EDIT: Aw, just now I realized it's not the Captain, just Alan. But he seems to know a fair share of things, too. Nice guy... Maybe some time Captain will come over, too.

I realize that a lot of people are going to be introduced to the magically wonderful creations of Captain D. Have fun guys on his channel. Grab some popcorn while you're at it.

15:03 when he says "even the corridor crew". Look how the guy on the right is totally offended and shifts away from CD lol

Corridor Crew finally made it to the big league! Even though CD sent his intern, this is a great honor and a sign of moderate approval from The Captain! Cherish it, boys!

Captain needs to come on more often. I feel like we didn't even really get that big of a taste of his knowledge. I remember finding Corridor through Captain Disillusion videos, so it's just a dream come true to see them together.

Wow! I hope CD gets more guesting gigs so he'd be discovered by more people. He deserves more acknowledgement.

I would watch a whole episode on vfx reacts to captain D's videos. The amount of work he puts into his yt videos looks better than a lot of actual movies.

Alan has the most sincere and humble sense of humour and subdued sarcasm on this website. What an episode. He’s a legend.

Can this be a semi-regular collab? I feel like CD brings a different perspective to how things are done and you all bounce off each other so well. I'd also love to see a non-react video collaboration!

Captain Disillusion is a great balance of energy and word choice. Super chill dude that seems like he would be fun to hang out with.

This couch is a legendary relic in CGI YT history now. We must protect this couch and its people at all cost .

I really hope he is a guest more often. It’s very rare to find somebody with such extensive knowledge of VFX and also has a sense of humor.

finally a Captain D & Corridor collab!

It seems like Alan has a calming effect on you... Well, he's a chill guy, at least way more than the real Captain Disillusion. ;) I wasn't expecting this collab, and it was very cool to witness!

I love how Alan creates so much lore for Cap even here

That was fun! Legends!

I'm super glad CD is big now. I remember subbing to him back in 2007. Dude deserves it

I'm so glad to see the Captain getting some exposure... been following him since his channel was still small... 🤘

I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit that I didn't know of Captain Disillusion before, but within a minute I paused here and went and subscribed. What an awesome dude. I loved this episode. Now, I'll be spending the next couple hours watching him haha.

I honestly can't believe I've never heard of Captain Disillusion before. The channel looks really cool.

21:19 the captain's proud smile is priceless

Thank you so much for this epic video! Corridor Crew and Captain Disillusion are by far my two favorite RU-vid channels, and having both of you together was such a treat! This is officially my favorite VFX Artists React video now! Keep up the great work!

This crossover was Corridor Crew's destiny.

Usually Corridor shoots multiple episodes with their guests so hopefully we'll get another episode! The ultimate crossover!

I laughed SO FUCKING HARD when he revealed that there's a thing on his wall that he's always having to shoot around. LMFAO Is that where the "huddled in the corner" aesthetic came from? LMFAO God I love Captain Disillusion. Love with your heart, use your head for everything else!

Fun fact about what they said about the gun in the doom clip being filmed separately, is that in First Person Shooter games the gun is also being rendered independently by a different camera put on top of the rest. That way if you clip the weapon through something, by being to close to a wall for example, the model will always appear in its entirety instead of half of it being behind a wall. (probably very well known fact but thought it was an interesting coincidence)

Alan's analysis of Fight of the Navigator is fantastic, and I hope he has another overlooked movie he plans to investigate. Something like Explorers or Highlander.

After 84 years! We finally have the myth, the legend on the show!!!!! WHOOOOO

Can never get enough Capt. D! Thanks for bringing him on!

we need way more of this. Captain Disillusion is one of the greatest and most underrated content creators in youtube history.

Finally Alan gets the recognition he deserves!

When Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon came out, my mother watched it with me. Half way through it she turned to me and said, "These are the best acrobats in the world! I can 't believe they can do these stunts!". I explained after and she was so disappointed.

I definitely want to see a *"VFX Artists React to Good & Bad Magic"*

After looking at Doom, it reminded me of another POV movie called Hardcore Henry which is almost entirely POV action, It'd be cool to check that out

I love how they were all so genuinely happy to hangout with one another. Can’t wait for the next appearance!

Captain Disillusion and Corridor Crew is the best collab I can ever imagine!!! Thank you for that!

Eeeeek!! I LOVE Captain D!! He taught me how to debunk "ghost" videos so well, I spend my time annoying commenters and people who post "ghost" videos when I'm bored. People really hate how logically I can point out how they were done. And it's all thanks to Captain D and Corridor Crew. And I love how much you guys have taught me. Don't look for the most convoluted way it could have been done. Look for the simple tricks, and you'd be surprised how easy they can be to spot.

Another great guest and another great episode! Fantastic commentary, guesses and clip choices to learn new things about older film effects, all making a very fun episode!

Me: The whole set is greenscreened, some cg, the tv is superimposed Sam: There's a hole in the wall Me: Right, yeah, I knew that

His advice for up and coming VFX artist’s is 100% true for all of the arts! It’s so easy to learn the techniques these days but at the end of the day it’s all about what you do with them. Creativity is everything!

These guys inspire so deeply. Thank you Captain D and Corridor Crew.

So happy to have these two channels. I couldn't recommended Captain Disillusions BTTF videos enough

This is great! I love seeing both of these creators analyzing VFX together!

I'm no VFX artist, I'm an IT tech. I just have a deep appreciation for the vfx art realm, and actually educational while entertaining content. I've been watching Captain D since the beginning. I love that he had Amazing Randy on the show, because to me it's the same thing just different realms. I love the corridor crew for similar reasons. just a lot of fun and insight into things.

The ending brought a tear to my eye. Love your work xx

😃I remember Captain D breaking down my Double Bottle Cap viral video! I've been a long time fan so that was amazing.

I just want to let you know, I couldn't stop smiling the entire time. So, so, soooo happy to see the captain with you all! Mad love and respect all around. Thanks for sharing, and take care!

I've been waiting for this since you mentioned it in episode 20 and I'm ready for the greatest collaboration of all time.

The collab we were all waiting for

I absolutely loved this!! such an awesome video!!! so inspirational!

captain d really changed the course of my life. now im going to film school and just excited to become a VFX artist and filmmaker, all because i found his channel way back in 2014. so glad to finally see him on vfx artists react

Y’all better recognize the amount of respect Captain Disillusion deserves. 👏🏽👏🏽

I’ve been binging out on your channel. The amazing community that you guys have been building has been so fun to be a part of.

ONE of the best episodes ever!!! SO glad you and Captain Disillusion collaborated. It was about TIME! Pretty serious shit :)

The guns in 1st person being a separate element from the scene is very smart to emulate feel of games.

It almost seems weird having on as himself and not the captain, you forget how much of just a chill laid back dude he is when he's not hamming it up as the Captain.

The collab I always needed.

Finally collab I've been waiting for!

Fuck, seeing a flash of James Randy on that Captain Disillusion clip, I went to check how he's doing and apparently, the grandad of what Captain and the Corridor Crew do in reacting to videos has died just over a year ago. Granted, he lived to a ripe old age of 92. He'll be missed and should never be forgotten.

It never really occurred to me how insane it was to stand in front of the DeLorean as it was accelerating like that. If it didn't jump successfully they would have both died XD

My two favorite VFX channels. Found you guys because of clock blockers, and found Alan because of debunking. It's great to see you both in one place. I still want Clock blockers to be made into a game.

I love this video. My first vfx channel that I watched was Captain D and to see him here is jaw-dropping. Heartwarming.

2:28 Ghustbusters afterlife brought back the hand drawn lightning and effects :)

I don't watch these until my lunch on Monday, but let me tell you how extra excited I am that The Captain is here! (Or at least his chump assistant Alan. He's busy I guess)

What an amazing video. Not only Captain Disillusion but also a clip from one of my favorite videos "Dubstep Guns"

I love all you guys from the absolute bottom of my heart. And if you'll allow it, a story with context for you... CptD you have been an absolute favorite for a very long time (sorry I was not subscribed... there was a very deliberate reason as to why). Cant remember where you were first discovered... maybe ebaumsworld or albinoblacksheep, one of those E/N sites where you were surely hot linked. The love of your work has stuck with me from the first moment your videos played... Which is my onewheel (or Segway) into my next feeling... CptD, without you, and that gift of love you've passed along... all the entertainment, KNOWLEDGE and joy... bolstering my already curious mind every time I watch a CptD vid. I truly believe I'd never have found Corridor Digital.. Corridor Crew... you and your team were and are there for me at a time I needed... something.. wasn't sure at the time (my dark ages as I like to refer to those years) what it was at that time but.... CD.. EVERYTHING you guys do... changes me for the better. I look for learnable and teachable moments everyday... you all continue to provide something I very much NEED (not just want) everyday. That video of Niko and how he manages people... *chef kiss* I'm in management... happy to admit, I stole from your "bag of tricks". NAY! You inspired me to be better. Thank you for always leaving things better than you found it. Thanks for being such AMAZING educators. I'm passing my love for VFX (specifically break downs) down to my kids. We watch movies differently now because of you all. As a single dad of 2, its not always easy to connect with children. CaptD and CC... Thank you so much.

We need Ryan and Josh on the show!!!! (film riot - I'm sure everyone knows...) They are the OGs who have helped millions get into VFX (me included). Do ittttt.

Finally, the crossover we've all been waiting for! I was afraid Captain D would never appear on this show after his own episode where he made fun of Corridor for having "exaggerated reactions" (briefly showing a clip of Clint freaking out) lol. Glad it was just a little joke and not him seriously disliking the Corridor guys, since I am a fan of both their content ;)

by far my favourite. CC video to date. lovely to see and just a pleasure to watch!

at 12:07 when you can see the hand bones cuz of the explosion, it looks like the character has webbed hands for a split second
