Thank you for, uh, waiting. I'm very proud to bring you the most elaborate video I've ever made on the channel.

Hope you like it!

(Even *I* think I've gone too far.)

Manoel

YEAH!

James Pain

This is the most insane amount of detail I've ever seen you go to. Surprised it's not released episodically. I think only people with the most respect for you will have the patience to watch it all. Hope it does well!

Adam Wishneusky

YESSSSS! I love vfx cool and this movie! 🙌

Jacob

Well worth the wait. Incredible episode 🚀

Brian

This was absolutely incredible. This is the most amazing thing I’ve seen you pull off so far. Great work captain.

Michael Krehan

"This isn't about me". Okay, yeah, but an episode about Captain Disillusion's life story would be kind of cool actually. Including Citizen Mavzik :) And why he isn't a bigger deal in the business even though he can single-handedly recreate any visual effect without breaking sweat. Anyway, great video! Definitely taking it to new levels.

Kulu Orr

Wow. Astoundingly well done! You're just the right kind of insane...

Dag-Erling Smørgrav

I was in the test audience when this film was rated for release in Norway. Saw it again on TV maybe ten years later. I loved it but never realized it was such a big deal!

Brandon Dilbeck

I'm eager to watch this tonight. We watched "Flight of the Navigator" on Friday in anticipation of and as preparation for your video.

Landon

Truly astonishing.

Austin Welsh

Disagree with James. Hella people will watch this to the end regardless of their respect for you cause it freaking rocks.

Matt Sims

Utterly incredible.

I understand your point, though I think the way Alan made is works better as a single movie than an episodic thingy. Things are a bit too intricate to make short episodes I think.

David LeBlanc

Amazing work! I was not prepared to dedicate 40min when I clicked on the video, but after 3min I was committed lol. Fascinating info about the film!

Zakabog

Very excited to watch this later when I'm not waiting to be seen at the doctor's office...

Jay Walkin

If you REALLY suggest doing this... I would gladly dedicate my right arm to play some Max

Taylor Clark

I hope you get the job directing the sequel!!

Useless Duck Company

This is really cool. This movie was one of my favorites as a kid.

Carl Andersen

When I was a kid (I'm 35), I used to play Flight of the Navigator on repeat in my play room over and over and over. This vid you've produced feels almost therapy, revisiting my childhood. Thank you so much for making this amazing work!!! Super impressive research too. BRAVO.

Markus Fink

Well, the only thing i can say about this is a plain old.... WOW!!!!

Jonathan Millward

Incredible work about incredible work! 40 minutes felt like 4.

Daniel Kohl

wow, nice! Allen should totally do it!

Gabe

Holy crap. This is a wonderful video. So much love for all the great stuff in the movie - That floating push scene and the morphing scenes blew my mind as a kid. And I like the way you did the commercial break "set-up & pause" moments. Cute touch.

Keith Marrocco

See? This is why I give you my money.

Gene Blalock

Woke up, received the email about this video, and instantly postponed a zoom meeting just to watch it. I had a feeling this video may be FLIGHT OF THE NAVAGATOR. I've always enjoyed the little nods to this film in CD videos over the years, I'm happy someone else loves this movie as much as I do! Amazing work! If you get to direct the "reboot," please consider me your unpaid intern!

Matt Hatton

Excellent work! This documentary is a marvelous work of art, passion, and expertise. Thank you!

Erik

Thank you for all your hard work!

Harry Starzec

Well now I REALLY want to rewatch Flight of the Navigator. The first time I watched it was when I was a kid and it was super late at night so I wasn't totally sure that it wasn't all a fever dream. Fantastic video, at some point I legitimately didn't think I was more than halfway through, then when I looked at the time I realized I only had 5 minutes left.

Zach Moroney

Wow, stunning work. This blew my nips clean off, I will be billing you for a pair of replacements!

Simon Lee

That was seriously impressive and entertaining. Wow. An absolutely monumental effort. And I'd never heard of the movie before! I am a bit concerned about how well the title and thumbnail will track with the vast majority of onlookers who know nothing about Flight of the Navigator. It looks...I dunno, generic. Which would be a shame for people to miss out on something so brilliant.

Howie Day

Oh, god. I've loved this movie since forever. Even tried to do some of my own what if fan art a while back, before stupid life stuff got in the way. I always thought about what the sequel could be, but I definitely like your intern's idea better than any I had. Fantastic work, sir - the depth of your effort is amazing, as is the obvious love of the subject. Any chance of getting the "CD-approved" versions of the cgi model for some of the rest of us? :P

Jarod

Oh heck yeah!!!! One of my all-time favorite childhood movies!!! Love yah CD!!

David Addis

Fantastic work, Captain! You could have sold this one to Netflix. 😁

Anon

I watched the movie in anticipation of watching your video. The story was cutsie enough, but I thought I could tell how much effort went into ship shots. Turns out I had no idea!

Daniel Nelson

This was genuinely amazing. Fantastic job on all of this, you put so much hard work into it and it totally paid off. The ending seemed like it was setting up the differences between the Captain and Alan and if this is hinting at a split coming in the future I'm torn, because I'd love for Alan to get work outside of being the Captain's intern, but I also don't want the Captain to stop making videos.

Brian Yates

Take my rubles!! I love it, your best work yet

Anonymous

Wow, what a blast from the past! Thank you!

Felipe

Kinda modivates me to boost my blender abilities knowing they had to use SUPER COMPUTERS to render basic CG

Tony Hammitt

Wow. Just blown away by the details and how much you obviously LOVE the movie. Keep up the great, stupendous, awesome work!

Danny

This was great! I would love to see a VFXCool series on TV! However, I may be blasphemous here, but I really hate "asshole diva CD" - your stuff is too good to keep denigrating yourself like that, even if it is tongue-in-cheek....

Marion Anderson

One of my favourite childhood movies and now one of my favourite docos!

Kor Nielsen

VFXcool is my favorite thing funded from patreon.

Truckee

So good! Labyrinth and Dark Crystal next!

Matrim Cauthon

This is the most impressive job application I've ever seen

Jack

Excellent video! So interesting and impressive the amount of work required. My jaw dropped at the part where they could only physically store 2 frames at a time and so had to put them straight to film. What a crazy time that would have been to be in the industry.

george738

Woah my mind. Congratulations Alan, really well done. Proud to be a supporter.

Martin Samuelsson

If they don't make you an offer, they're the ones missing out. This is by far the most compelling job application I've ever seen. I've never seen the movie, but I probably should. Soon.

Gerry C

Amazing work once again! That Alan's gonna go places, you'll see!

Having watched this, I can't help but make parallels to Tom Scott's "The Greatest Title Sequence I've Ever Seen". It's like... these pieces of media at the nucleus of what makes you, you. I'd like to call it formative, but it feels lackluster in saying how much Flight of the Navigator seems to have affected you. Captain Disillusion might the debunking VFX skeptic extraordinaire, but man, this Alan character, loves the effort spent to generate technical effects to their core. Truly great work.

AndreGG

The video doesn't load for me, it asks me for a password then nothing happens :/

Christopher Arguin

Totally in agreement about the effect of this movie on my life; Every time I am hooked up to some sort of strip recorder I try to make it draw pictures.

Bizzaro.

I applaud your dedication to your passions. Wish more people had this kind of gumption.

Manfred Weber

This is sooo fantastic!!! Thanks Captain for this production!! Will rewatch it many many times!

Lukas Knöppel

Damn you Captain I should be studying right now not watching a 40 minute on Flight of the Navigator.

David Macdonald

5 minutes in I was like "Wait, the entire video is just about the ship?" After it was done, I was like, "Ok, that makes sense."

Alec

A+ work! Absolutely A+!

The Chad

Whatever you're paying Alan, it's not enough!

I had the same problem. It works after deactivating the Privacy Badger extention.

Fire2box

I loved flight of the navigator as a kid, as a teenager and now as an adult. it still holds up including in visual effects.

buhtum

This is the pinnacle of CD. Amazing work.

Fire2box

Just finished watching the video. It would be cool to see a follow up and I'd have faith in the director you pitched. :D

Verteiron

This is amazing and they should totally give you the film.

Q!KwAuTV8T8-aUQX

What an incredible documentary of a milestone film in VFX. Please keep up the amazing work!

Charlie Ross

This was incredibly good. Fun, informative, nostalgic, exciting... Thank you so much for this amazing creation.

Jason Rasmussen

VFXcool: Flight of the Navigator was made with so much love and detail, it made me become a Patreon supporter. Easily one of your best work, but I'm sure it wasn't easy. I'd love to see more like this.

Dipan Ghosh

You have outdone yourself with this one Alan. Just outstanding. One watch is not nearly enough, gotta give it several re-watches.

Dave & Holly Siederer

You know, whenever I see those prop auctions happen for movies I love, I always hope whoever wins is someone that would really treasure those props. It’s really awesome to see the best possible result of that. Amazing video, well done!

Alexandre Devilliers

Very nice work for a movie I like a lot (right age at the right time indeed) ! You got a new Patreon. :-)
