Captain Disillusion is many things: A skeptic of heroic proportions, YouTube sensation, VFX aficionado, Blender user, CG Cookie user and alter ego, Alan Melikdjanian. With over 700,000 YouTube subscribers and over 44 million views of his videos, the Captain has succeeded by debunking visual trickery in pop culture. He does this by breaking down and recreating the visual effects used to achieve said trickery. His success has earned him keynote presentations at conferences and an interview on the H3 podcast.
The Captain is generously taking time away from saving gullible eyes to discuss his Blender/VFX skills, YouTube success, and whatever else comes up!
There is a video of Captain Disillusion with him, I hope there will be more videos like those in the future
Gotcha. I knew Bill Nye but hadn't heard of Beakman's World
A green lab coat and two weird sidekicks
It was a science show I used to watch as a kid
Yes, sort of
Was Beakman's World like a pre-cursor to Bill Nye the Science Guy?
I've seen a few of his videos.
I heard of him when this interview was scheduled
I used to watch Beakman's World, that episode he did with him was superb
Good deal, it's helpful for me to gauge the awareness of the CGC crowd.
