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!
Gah!! Just saw Nicole Kidman eat worms.
I'm excited to find out about who this Captain Disillusion is.
I'm in Richmond, VA
I'm doing well though! Excited to talk with Captain Disillusion 🤩
Where are you Kent?
Hopefully it will end soon, lol I need to clean up my yard.
Geez, this April snowfall seems crazy to me. No snow where I'm at but all my fellow CGC colleagues are getting snow too.
Excellent! How about you. Well besides digging out of the snowfall this weekend.
How are you today, Char?
