Boooooy.

Fixing up the recording of my talk ended up a bigger job than I expected. The original livestream was okay, but there were quite a few technical issues, including some important visuals not being shown at the right time.

I color-corrected the entire video, remixed the sound and edited some of the excessive stammering and water drinking I was doing on stage to make this near-perfect "director's cut" version of the show.

You'll notice that the Patreon community and a few individual supporters get featured (pwned) in one part of the talk. I hope you know it's done with love and admiration for you all :)

Please enjoy!

Yet another incredible presentation, Captain! I was dancing in my seat by the end. Any chance you'll drop a single of your Blender song? ;)

Hey, cool ... My message was scrolled-over during the Galton board pwnage segment. (Below Dan's comment is the tippy-top of my blue dot, while above Marcell's are the last couple of lines of text *cough*showingthatsettlingthingswithasimulationwaskindaMYidea*cough*.) Is this ... is this *fame*?

Great video Captain! I really enjoyed it a lot.

That was beautiful.

We don't deserve you. This was amazing. Did you manage the live aspects with QLab again? Including the lighting effects?

Loved it

I've never even used Blender, but this was a lot of fun

Good lord man, your presentations have higher production values than some Hollywood movies.

Sylvester joke was roughhhh

Simon Pain

Amazing effort went into this and now I see what the moving head light was for :D Is the spark off the top of the laptop a physical effect or part of the director's cut?

Just an absolutely fabulous piece of showmanship. I can only hope to be half as entertaining and my next live speaking event. It’s this level of creativity and comedy that makes me such and “big“ supporter

Better than bad!

Is there something you can’t do?! Composition, decent singing, writing scripts, acting, quick costume changes, playing instruments.... ?!!! Though I suspect the suddenly bad lighting and camera work had to do with that quick costing change being a bit too quick, you did an excellent job. I was like “there is no way he’s gonna come out as captain D... no way, no wa— WHOAH!!!!!!!”

Whoa, my comments made it to your presentation! But hey, my second comment wasn't "I guess I don't know, but I don't think you're right still". Quite the opposite. I humbly assumed my lack of CG education, and your superior knowledge, and asked some additional questions out of sheer curiosity what exactly could have cause that effect. But that was quite fun to see my little input to this. But I promise from now on I will trust you, uncle D. Sometimes :D Oh, and really great presentation, as always! Cheers!

You're so talented, it actually makes me slightly nauseous...

Yep! QLab added DMX light control, so I had to play with it. :) I dragged two heavy lights all the way to Europe, but one wasn't compatible with local power so I had to hurriedly reprogram the other to do the job of both, minutes before the audience was let in.

My comment made it too! I was in the way!

I've just watched a 41-minute Blender skit, and I was entertained the whole time. I wouldn't have thought that was possible!

Thanny

Lot of hitching in the presentation video starting around 27:00 or so.

Wow, that was both entertaining and educative in the same time! Great stuff Captain D 😊

That was epic! I'm glad you incorporate Captain Disillusion in your talks!

CaptainDisillusion

Yeah, unfortunately that’s something that couldn’t be fixed. The original livestream was having an issue and and started skipping frames. That’s how it was recorded.

Great video mate. One of the most engaging talks I have seen online.

Dan Kuehling

So wait....you used Blender in the scene with Ami Yamato? I don't get it, what part of the scene wasn't real? ;-)

John Edwards

All these years and I finally made it into a CD video! Kind of.

You should post shorter videos on your channel with the best parts from this talk (e.g. the song). Most casual youtube viewers won't want to watch the whole 40 minute video, but would probably enjoy seeing the bits from it

You are an amazing multitalented artist.

I had to pause and rewind this many, many times to make sure I wasn’t imagining a cue or reference. You possess a rare combination of humor and skill. Proud to be a patrEon, Captain.
