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!
Very interesting...
In my mind Blender comes from the same place babies come, from small gnomes in the north pole
From again?
For me he was, form my childhood
which part of the workflow you like most? writing? compositing? etc
Is Beakman another superhero?
No, people that make Blender go to the conference
Are Blender conferences where Blender is made?
QUESTION: Does Beakman watch The Captain videos?
In a month for one person, is intense.
