greetings general audience of this Coppa
compliant content presented in the style
of a kids show but not actually aimed at
children captain the solution here it's
the start of the year and you know what
that means
my annual bath already taken care of and
clearing out old videos these things
expire you know every video has a
half-life of relevance and I admit I
don't always get to all of them in time
remember this one you guys kept sending
it to me it's actually a viral ad for a
cyber security company what they did was
filming that's what happens when they
expire and it is not pleasant all right
let's see if we can find something with
a little more time left on it one of
these have been covered way back in the
day by the Mythbusters but you know what
they had 13 years to do it before
getting cancelled I've only been around
for anybody else here that oh here's a
good one
the color-changing car wrap you might
think the trick is achieved with simple
selective colour correction of the shot
but then how's the pattern print done
was it meticulously match moved on to
the car no because there is no car there
is no remote it's just a hand holding a
dummy object some solid tracking and
elegant 3d modelling work by digital
artist s candidate with Tobiah whose
instagram is full of similar sexy
vehicular concept art his work proves
once again that ok compositing will seem
perfect if you add enough delicious
specular reflections and a bit of sound
design BAM and that's how you do it
I've never been a clock-watching kind of
guy and not all hi-tech invention videos
are fake I've sure seen a lot of these
invisibility panels in my mentions
they're the brain foetus of guy Kramer
founder of Canadian hyper stealth
biotechnology corporation which makes
specialty camo gear for all sorts of
armies and he must have come of age in
the 80s when Auto stereoscopic post
carts were making a comeback these
things use lenticular lens arrays to
directionally magnify slightly different
parts of the surface they're attached to
depending on viewing angle they could
show certain slices of an interlaced
picture to your left eye and other
slices to your right
creating a 3d illusion normally the
focal plane of lenticular lenses is
their own backside where the picture is
printed but if there is no picture and
they're placed at a distance the results
can be wild
they might magnify objects flip them or
blur them and isotropically like the
motion blur filter in Photoshop
also known as directional blur in After
Effects they're the same effect but they
must never be called the same thing
never now personally I don't see what's
so special or patentable about simple
and ick Euler sheets you can get all
sorts online and it kind of works
especially if you use a horizontally
continuous background in your
demonstrations but I guess mr. Kramer's
brewing his own special kinds of lenses
and playing around with different
lenticels and angle of view to create
some impressive results that will surely
be able to sell to some military
industrial complex for a million loonies
Wow
well that's just not fair that was on
time what do you want from me
you know it's just a little irritating
as I work to raise the level of video
fakery discourse online requests for
ghosts and crypto zoological creatures
still appear in my inbox like this thing
from a while back the dolly
I mean dotty means dobby sighting
everyone was obsessed with this
surveillance video but not many bothered
to track down the source cuz like most
trustworthy things this one came from
Facebook from a post by this lady let's
call her Vivian bow mess now to me the
subject of her video looks just like a
skinny little kid with his shirt pulled
up onto his head doing a really goofy
walk down the driveway but miss bomas
insists she has no idea what this entity
captured on her porch cam could possibly
be there does seem to be a kid in her
household that's about the right size
and friends in the comments asked
whether it might be him but miss bomas
is adamant that it definitely couldn't
be him or any other kid because there
aren't any in their neighborhood he is
walking from the house and if I turn up
the volume I can hear a woman's voice
if this video didn't conspicuously cut
right there might we see miss bull mess
walk out right behind him both get in
the car and drive off to sports ball
practice admittedly that's not as
exciting as owning a viral video of a
cryptid that gets on the news but maybe
she is telling the truth
she really had no idea that her own
flesh and blood was outside without
supervision stomping around half-naked
in the middle of the night and she'd
rather not admit it to herself and
believe it's a monster on the recording
so which is it mrs. bowl mez are you
telling tall tales for internet fame or
are you just a sad mother I'm sorry
that's a terrible thing to say cuz
sometimes I I get carried away because
you know I I just care about truth and
science so much and it's not about cheap
laughs at all
ah okay okay I know I need to work on
this I got to take it easier on the
people around me like friends and
interns and such Alan get in here
yes captain Oh Ted Danson cosplay again
what no just I know I don't say it
enough or at all but good job and stuff
just in general all right enough okay
let's go get out of here go go go go go
go look I can understand how when I make
a clip of myself punching Zach king in
the face people might think I dislike
the guy but nothing could be further
from the truth
he's great I just hate how good his work
is sometimes he's made many
mind-boggling allusions but not as
annoying to an expert's eye as the
graffiti gag from the past year because
it's only kind of explainable yeah I
know it's projection mapping and that
the real ladder is quickly swung in and
out at certain moments even the corridor
crew figured that much out there I go
insulting people again I'm sorry
they're cool guys their VFX reaction
phases are very natural but anyway how
does the shot transition at the end from
Zach on ladder to know Zach a projection
map ladder and security guard all in one
continuous handheld move at first I
thought maybe all this shaking is
artificial and there's some motion
control cinematography involved but
tracking the shot reveals the camera
makes arcing motions and I don't think
zach is using a frigging bolt crane the
only moment the camera isn't moving
through space is right here as he looks
away from the security guard and starts
to climb somehow the wall must already
be from the security guard stake
projection mapped onto the wall of
Zach's take and the ladder is textured
onto a 3d mock-up of the ladder to give
it realistic parallax until the moment
it's transitioned into a projection map
on the wall they must have used the wide
enough lens to how
I'm sorry I can do better you guys took
time to make these requests so I got to
work faster
[Music]
[Applause]
students performing coordinated human
mosaic moves oh it's a real art form
Hans but this video has been slightly
sped up making it look way more
impressive
you wouldn't know about the double
bottle cap flick Mostafa well the guy
who posted it is called 3d sage he does
3d modeling printing an animation I
think you can manage a couple of CG
bottle caps and look at how they
spontaneously appear and run of his
fingers Oh a guy using his upper body
strength to pretend to walk on air it's
a thing people can do Robert but you
already knew that you follow it up
saying I am nearing 40 and I'm just
jealous of how fit he is sorry I have
absolutely no idea what that's like I
mean uh this is real because people have
been doing smoke tricks like this for
seven thousand years get with the
program Emil is it just me or is this
fake wind turbine explosion really easy
to trace back to the Instagram post by
the motion designer who created it come
on unknown user and ostrich chasing
cyclists it's real of course it's real
why wouldn't it be
ostriches run they like to run
oh I guess it's fine
this is my countdown I control it there
are time limits in life that we can't
postpone and that's exactly why we
should give ourselves deadlines it's
good practice for the big one
but maybe I've been unrealistic with
mine let's try this again
there that should be plenty of time to
have a few adventures and there's no
need to obsess over it let's just keep
it in the back of our minds
it's been an interesting decade I better
prepare for the next one
remember love with your heart use your
head for everything else
captain disillusion
[Music]
you
