Good God, CD, this was amazing! Well worth the wait!

are you actually annoyed at that Jacob Ronaldo kid? or is it just a friendly poke?

Also, don't beat yourself up about your subscriber rank! It is your content that matters, not a number!

Loving the increased production values and new, red-room-less format.

The thought of the Captain's swinging silvery knackers getting sweaty in those jogging pants arrived unbidden and yet, I'm astonished to find it isn't entirely unwelcome. Rest assured, nobody is more surprised than I at this unexpected development.

Oh, cool, we have the same mad skillz on the basketball court!

Great video as always D! You've got to give a shout out to Adam Atomik for his awesome mural at in the background at the VP courts! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2dxccdrl5U" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2dxccdrl5U</a>

Thanks for the warm feedback, all! Does anyone have a suggestion for a better/more effective video title? My brain has completely shut down now that I finished editing.

Not only is this the best one yet, but ranks as one of the finest examples of creative content I've ever seen on YouTube. When CD lept from the platform down to earth I actually gasped! :-)

WhiteZero

Great video, but no "It's time for me to go, kids" sign-off at the end? :(

Another incredible video, Captain! I'm a new Patreon subscriber as I thought it was about time I supported your excellent work that I've enjoyed for a long time. With love from the UK :-D

That was awesome, a treat as always! :)

HEY!! I pay you via Patreon $5 a month for Early Access - WHY am I not getting it??

This is the first new video since I discovered your channel a week ago whilst reading about Derren Brown's lottery debunk. Over the last 7 days I watched everything on your channel and after seeing the 22mins of raw footage for that 1 trick shot, I knew I just had to support you on Patreon. This is the first channel I've ever supported, but your videos are awesome and I only wish the $20 option was still available!

You sports much better than a lot of magicians I know.

Someone in the YouTube comments pointed it out but I like the Back to the Future 2 feel when you're running on the street/sidewalk!

You've provided excellent work yet again 😃 Your patience and persistence certainly has paid off. You are inspiring. Thank you again for the excellent work 🙏🏽

Was the part where you are jogging towards the basketball court s reference to Back to the Future?

Thanks. Interesting and amusing, and informtive, as usual!

Love the fresh story/theme ideas!

Hah I love the idea of the captain crawling in random windows. :-)

Carl Fink

Hey, you never told the kids it was time for you to go, or gave them advice on which organ to use when loving!

CaptainDisillusion

Sometimes we surprise ourselves in fundamental ways. But yeah, filming that was absolute torture. As close to severe, medical emergency level heat stroke as I've ever come.

CaptainDisillusion

Did you really not receive a notification about this when it was posted? You should receive an email and, if you use the Patreon app, a notification. Sorry if it didn't work. I guess check to make sure that Patreon emails don't go into spam..

CaptainDisillusion

Yeah, I tend to unconsciously steal from every movie I like. This kind of shot actually appears a couple times in BTTF 2, but the other day someone showed me that the EXACT crane shot I did is actually at the end of part 3, when Marty has made it home and still in his old west outfit runs through the gate of Lyon Estates.

CaptainDisillusion

See a couple comments above :) It wasn't intentional, but obviously that must be where my brain got it from.

CaptainDisillusion

Ha, that's certainly a weird and very incriminating looking glitch. But I think it's just that. If you look at the left edge of frame on the ground, the shadow of the ball continues uninterrupted on the frames where the ball disappears. And they do this exact jump/throw in other videos, including over the wing of a giant plane, which I think was some sort of official record. Not sure!

I watched that raw footage. I became a patron after that. Dedicated.

The Men in Black fly Soviet helicopters now?

Michael P Andersen

Yeah the raw footage was also part of why I became a patron. I don't think I could have done more than 20 times before I gave up

Hey Captain! I used this video of yours for my Sound for Film class at the Academy of Art University. I had to analyze a piece of media, then identify the sound elements in it (Ambience, Music, Sound Design, Foley, etc), and my professor really liked this piece, as did the class. Your edutainment piece really went to good use for me, and I was proud to share it with my peers!

CaptainDisillusion

That's great, Steven! I'm honored. If you need to do more of that type of analysis, scroll back through the feed here. I sometimes post versions of my videos with the dialogue track removed and just sound effects and music remaining. Fun to hear the little details :)
