New Video Early Access - Marble Sorting Machine DEBUNK

I’m sensing a spin off series! Is Holly going to be the Frasier Crane to your Sam Malone?

Keith Rogers

Highly educational and entertaining as always! *tips hat*

Ali

Erasing the mat on the floor helps ;)

Captain Disillusion

Thanks! Haha, we are, and always have been, just friends. The motivation for the story was more about trying to make Holly less cartoony and one-dimensional going forward. There's only so many times we can have the sole recurring female character show up as a lovesick ditz who is there to be taught smart things by CD... Frankly, by the second time I was feeling uneasy about it. Now hopefully we've made room for more interesting possibilities in her future appearances!

Captain Disillusion

Thank you!

Captain Disillusion

I think we've got a mix of what D said and this. There were plenty that changed color on the way down, but there were also a good amount that you can track from the top to the bottom.

Not sure if that was a real or in-character breakup but either way I love how respectful your relationship is. Hope both of you are as successful apart as you were together!

You're by far my favourite youtube. I love you're videos, they're outstanding!

@0:33 Channeling what few acrobatic genes you inherited. :D

Great debunk, but you've missed one thing. Near the end one of the green balls bounces to the right, where only red-pink ones are, and goes off the view. Then the camera pans down to where the green ball should have gone, but it's nowhere to be seen. That suggests the creator didn't recolor the balls at the and and remade the simulation, but rather setup the animation so that the balls would change their color to the right ones near the bottom. This way he could have the marbles randomly colored at the start. If he had the colors right at the start, the same coloured marbles would have to be near each other, and that would not look so stunning.

Fantastic, CD! So. Much. Detail! Your videos are always such a treat :-)

Sarah O'Donoghue

I've never been so attracted to an attention to detail.

Me: blows a kiss into space Me: for Holly

Are you referring to the quality of audio or writing?

Captain Disillusion

This is why it is generally better to comment AFTER watching :)

Captain Disillusion

It’s the little things..

Captain Disillusion

Lovely lovely lovely, I love it. What's funny my grandma said she saw this vid on facebook and when explaining to me what it was about I got that feeling of 'this is probably faked' and there ya have it, an entire cd episode about it. Good job cap.

Finally! Thank you, Captain!

Lindsay Ellis

Yes! Something this way comes.

Steve

Yeah, we know what you're up to. And I like it!

Steve

That was genuinely touching. :)

James Dominguez

Possibly just a physics sim with no random variables that will predictably produce the same results every time from the same starting conditions.

James Dominguez

But Captain! The fact that the balls fell evenly across each cell suggests he didn’t simply bake a simulation - otherwise the simulation would have resulted in a normal distribution, like a real Galton board. He’s done something else to his render to make the balls fall the way they did....

I say this with all of the love in the world, the dialogue isn't the best in this one and it sounds really hollow without background music.

Before watching... There was a video by the author of the original on how it was done...run simulation, see where results went, color, then re run the simulation, then motion track.

Jamie F

Woo! I'm disillusioned again!

Rashi

Nice, I guess all that rendering made the delay. Enjoyable episode of course.

You guys should totally launch a Holly show that is a science-based sister channel!

Awesome :)

Man... never get tired of these.

Alex

Great work, as always, and it was good to see more character development for Holly!

Sheepless

Wow I tought that video was real! Thank you captain 😍

DJ Flea

Worth the wait. Thank you for the wonderful video!

Norman

Great video!

Dum-di-di-dum, I'm loving it!
