  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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..”

  5. 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.”

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.
