I feel like an idiot because as I watched this movie as a kid/teenager I never thought about how it was the same actor. The fact that they actually did all these tricks in scenes where they were just sitting around the dinner table went completely over my head.
Super cool video but the notion of treating a CGI character as a real person is annoying. It breaks the whole point of explaining the cup effect because it is just done with CGI. Strange that CD chose to do it that way.
Visual effects were obviously needed in the movie — but to this extent and effort? Incredible. Just to imagine the extra man hours needed to achieve everything makes my appreciation for the movie go up so much more…
Hell, just the time that Captain Disillusion must put into his individual videos to clearly present this to us is also mindblowing. Almost makes me irritated that not every one of his videos reaches ‘viral’ status on Youtube.
I’m trying to wrap my head around using the Vistaglide to film an animated character talk to herself. That’s pretty meta.
Ami has an entire channel dedicated to portraying herself as an animated character in real life, which I find super interesting. Yet, I couldn’t find out how she does it.
People are getting downvoted for asking why Ami uses a cgi character instead of showing her face. But that’s a valid question. It’s a bizarre choice that probably takes a long time to animate.
Very interesting, but I always thought Vistaglide’s first movie was Dead Ringers, Cinefex issue 36. BTTF2 was nearly a year later. But I guess it is possible it was in production earlier.
this is heavy.

Nice video but whyd he have to include his waifu in it?
Edit: /s because it apparently wasnt obvious enough
This channel ~~needs~~ deserves some love.

Let’s get this to the front page. The Captain deserves more love!
Nice touch releasing it on this date [November 5th](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiD4Sm5Vbwk&app=desktop)
the stand-in at 3:15 looks computer generated
Ib4 hundreds of comments saying that his videos are cool but won’t suscribe because of the makeup

Love how he explains stuff while simultaneously doing it even better himself.
The high 5 at 5:15 was epic.

Oh fuck yes part two’s out
God I love it when they just start with the video after a brief title.
So sick of the “HEY TODAY WE”RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT BACK TO THE FUTURE AND THEN ILL TALK ABOUT BLAH BLAH..”
who the fuck is this guy. He’s a fucking boss
Can’t afford 80’s camera system for demonstration, but can afford CGI.
The comment on real-time motion control rigs was a nice nod to Doc Brown:
> “I’m sure that in 1985 plutonium is available at every corner drug store, but in 1955 it’s a little hard to come by.”
This is awesome!

Lol obviously wasn’t going 88 mph in that last scene. Get it right cap.
Another fantastic CD video, love it. Does anyone know of other documentaries or YouTube videos that deep-dive into visual effects like this?

So unrealistic, the car would’ve never started on the first try.
So when does Captain Disillusion get his own ride/show at the hollywood studios park?
Back to the future 1 will remain the best movie I’ve ever seen. I saw it at the drive in. Holy shit what a time to be alive.
I’m not going to watch anything from a guy wearing that stupid shit on his face.
Watching this impresses me because here are some filmmakers that changed history by thinking outside the box.
