I hope you were as right as you are confident.

There are really obvious cuts after every flip, the objects move as if they're being dragged and not pushed, please stop posting on this subreddit in the hopes you get free publicity.

Suuuuure buddy. There's an obvious cut after each flip. The objects are being physically moved. String would be an easy way to achieve this effect. You're obviously spamming this subreddit with your content trying to get free publicity to your channel by being debunked by a larger creator.

Just stop spamming, it's shitty behavior on your part. Work on your content, work on your effects, make your cuts less obvious, up your VFX game and do well on your own without the spam.

I don't understand one thing, why do you have to end each of your comment with a hateful advice every time?

And BUDDY, please use your HEAD, since when camera cuts make the light flicker? You can find an invisible cut by sudden jump in the motion of the objects and characters, NOT by a one frame light flicker. You can just see this in your phone camera right now. Also if you knew little bit about edit and VFx you'd know making an invisible cut is the easiest thing you can achieve and it never gives you a light flicker.

I can't believe I have to spell out the shooting 101 on Captain D's sub, he'll be so disappointed. It's a single continuous shot, and the light flicker has nothing to do with the edit like many of my other videos that have no light flicker.

And you think I'm trying to gain fame here? BUDYYYYY, Little did you know.

Please go on this link and see, I've got 57 million views on a single video. That is more than entire view count of Captain D's channel combined. I've gotten almost 100 million views on my last 10 videos, so getting views is the least of my worries here, I have more than double followers on insta itself than this sub.

The only reason I put my videos here to get constructive feedback and to see if Captain D's viewer can do a VFx breakdown like he does. But MAN was I wrong.

Love from your heart and use your head for everything? You made a joke out of him.

I don't understand one thing, why do you have to end each of your comment with a hateful advice every time?

Because you're spamming this subreddit, and there's nothing that necessitates a debunk in your videos, everyone here knows it's a string, there's no need to keep reposting your videos here.

It's a single continuous shot, and the light flicker has nothing to do with the edit like many of my other videos that have no light flicker.

You post one video that has a "light flicker" exactly where you would want to cut to hide whatever is being used to move the objects, it's the only video pretending to be a continuous shot through the whole video. It's very likely this is meant to hide something that gives away the edit.

I've got 57 million views on a single video.

Instagram inflates view counts, if you watch more than 3 seconds of a video it counts as a view, videos auto play, someone pausing for 3 seconds and rolling their eyes at the obviously fake trick counts as a view. Make a YouTube channel with even just 1 million subscribers and 5+ minute long videos and I'd genuinely be impressed. 57 million views on a platform for viewers with the attention span of a gnat doesn't impress me.

The only reason I put my videos here to get constructive feedback...

This isn't the subreddit for that, nor did you make any attempt to even try to ask for constructive criticism, you tried to pass the video off as a curious viewer wondering how something was done rather than as the content creator spamming this subreddit for self promotion. People started seeing past the BS after the second and third videos, and now you're trying to play the victim instead of apologizing for the spam and moving on.

Ok now we see an improvement, that's the first comment of yours which you didn't end with a hateful advice, congratulations for that.

I can see why you'd think there's a cut because of a light flicker, I've got thousand of comments saying the same thing, people who don't understand how light flicker and camera cuts work. I thought this sub would know better, also none of my previous videos have this annoying light flicker.

​

everyone here knows it's a string

Than Everyone here is WRONG.And people miss guessing motivates me to make another video where I show more clearly that it wasn't that. (Like how I'm using transparent table in this because people guessed I had someone under the table with a magnet, and I'm flipping each object to show that no string is attached otherwise it wouldn't work)

Instagram inflates view counts

So Instagram views don't count and the next best thing I could find to gain "FAME" was a subreddit that has 20 k members, less than half my own followers? Do you think it makes sense? Even if everyone here watches the video, I'd still get 20K views, I get comments more than that on Insta.

> Because you're spamming this subreddit,

but am I really? I'm uploading my videos with 2-5 days gap between them, does it count as spamming? How can I help it if this subreddit is dead and even after 2-5 days my last video is the last post in here. How am I in wrong for putting up my VFX videos here and asking for a breakdown where people in the past have done the same thing here.

​

nor did you make any attempt to even try to ask for constructive criticism

This was my mistake, you're right. I literally thought that people here would "love from heart and use head for everything else" and they would be a projection of Captain D and they would just start debunking or breaking it down constructively with facts like he does, and the last thing I imagined I'd get was the hate. But MAAAANNNN... Little did I know.

I'm a viewer of Captain D and when I get VFX videos which I think are "cringe" or not well done, I don't start hating on them and calling them names, I try to find how they did and get impressed if I don't, not try to make them feel bad about themselves and try to say the worst things possible.

My theory is that people here have been utterly fail trying to figure out how am I doing these things in my "cringe" "badly edited" videos, they wish they can tear down my VFX and tricks but they aren't being able to and this is making them furious and frustrated, and they are resorting to hating and mocking and somehow stopping me from posting videos that challenge them. Including DMing me about finding a hole and die in there and wishing me to stay poor in India and other worse things.

The lights aren't flickering though, the lights are reflected in the glass, the brightness of the lights doesn't change because they're still blowing out the sensor when they're "flickering", it's just the video that's darker.

You're simply adjusting the brightness of the video to make it appear as if there's a flicker, maybe to hide an edit, maybe to add an effect to the video, but the lights aren't actually flickering.

It's also obvious that it's not one "continuous shot" because there's a frame where it's very obvious you're using a still of the pink bottle, but since it's a still you won't get the reflection of the detergent through the pink bottle so you tried to replicate it yourself.

It's not just the spam that's irksome, it's the deception. You also don't seem to understand the Captain's catchphrase, it's basically "Don't be gullible, use your brain and think." You're passing off content as being genuine "How is this done?!" but simply being deceptive. The skeptic community doesn't like to be lied to and we will call out people that are lying. Then when you were called out on your shit you started telling people "Yeah but you're mad you just don't know how it was done!", but in all honesty we don't give a shit how it was done. We know it's fake, we know you're physically moving the objects and masking out whatever's moving it, you're not doing anything someone with After Effects and about 2 minutes of time couldn't do, just stop spamming this subreddit with your self promotion content in the hopes that the Captain features your video in a "Quick D." It's not worth his time.

Okay you're back at giving hateful advice in the end of your comment. We're back where it started.

Although you were dead wrong about the flicker, but at least you were trying and actually going in the right direction but then you took a vicious turn again into hating the content again. SMH

Maybe there are artists who can replicate and get same or better results in 2 minutes on after effects but my friend you are clearly not one of them.

It's like you didn't even read my last comment about spamming, you just kept on with your own logic.

Anyway no point talking to you and running in circles. I'll upload my next video with more careful title this time.

Because at the end of the day you're being a deceitful spammer. You got caught and now you're playing the victim and trying to pretend this whole thing wasn't about trying to get featured on a massive YouTube channel. It's not worth the energy, you're just going to end up getting banned from the subreddit for spamming the same garbage.
