    to everyone who's asking 'who's benny', he's the rabbit featured at 0:23 who was a pet of captain disillusion, he passed away during the production of the video so he decided to commemorate him with that

      +Adam Fournier Well said. Almost every youtube creator uses other peoples rendered footage to improve their scenes. Almost no one really knows how to make real/adjusted particle effects for their own scene, or else they would prob not be making youtube videos but working for a studio. Ive seen some like corridor digital make their own particle effects but... only when they cant avoid using stock footage.

      There's also the issue of why reinvent the wheel. Big studios use plenty of stock. Just listen to any show with automatic doors. You are likely to hear the Doom door effect. The beeps from doom computers are also super common.
      It's not just those who use stock that tend to start recognizing it. Gamers can identify a lot of stock because you get used to hearing something. For instance in my town the register-accept sound of several POS systems is the sonic ring collect sound.

    I don't think I'll ever stop being impressed with these videos. Not only the production value which is extremely high, the level of knowledge of filmmaking which is extremely deep, but also the lengths CD goes to uncover every element used. Like he didn't have to name the exact plug-ins and artifacts used but he wanted to completely debunk the discussed videos and he did. He debunked them so thoroughly he even removed the effects and showed what they looked like unaltered. This guy is a master.

    I've watched this video well over a dozen times. It's one of my favourite videos ever. However my favourite is not the world class debunking or the amazing CGI work but the end, where plucks the cat/bunny video back out of tube.
    It shows the social feed is dangerous, but that doesn't mean everything we found good in it is bad.
    In one simple action, D shows true nuance by helping us bridge the gap between the loving in our heart and using our head for everything else.

His content is so refreshing compared to 99 percent of the trash on this site. He really puts so much effort into them. I feel like he could've sold out and made his channel more clickbaity or dumbed down, but he hasn't. Much respect for him. He also never seems to age. Jealous.

    • @bashkillszombies
      @bashkillszombies 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      +cidshroom I've often wondered the same thing. CD is totally the next Bill Nye, and in an information age where we are drowned with misinformation one would think that he would be the perfect cure for what ails us. But then recently he dropped a bombshell that he 'identifies as a feminist,' it might sound minimal at first, but when you consider everything that entails and the way in which 'atheism plus' derailed the atheist movement and the toxic political affiliations held within those groups it makes me wonder whether CD is, in fact, somehow attached to politically untouchables and people who would undermine his 'rationalist' and 'skeptic' persona.
      I suspect that has something to do with it, as 99% of my comments since the reveal have been pondering on this topic so I know if I'm having trouble understanding how a 'skeptic' could not be skeptical of an evil political movement that is the polar opposite of egalitarianism that studio execs would stumble on that too. Heck, I might be wrong, CD might be a coke fiend who wakes up in strange places every day and is just unmanagable for other reasons. I still find it unfortunate as over the entire duration of his existence I've grown fond of CD as a character.
      Then again, we only see the tip of the iceberg. We don't know and may never know the full story. I still support him financially regardless, but it does worry me significantly. I find switched on skeptics tend to be more akin to Thunderf00t et al. of the world, not the PZ Meyers of the world.

    • @cidshroom
      @cidshroom 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      BaSH PROMPT I find that people who never really bothered to look into the new feminist movement identify as feminists because they like women's rights. They don't realize that new feminism isn't about women's rights, it's about taking away everyone else's rights.

Just because your emotions and gut reaction says one thing, it doesn't mean the facts that say another thing are incorrect all of a sudden.

The sound and the light/impact happen at the same time, and when you are that close, the sound is deafening. It’s almost impossible to not be scared by that. I was scared shitless when it happened to me. And sure, I wasn’t in a car, but still. My point stands.
