Captain Disillusion Biography

Captain Disillusion is one of the most popular and richest Film Director who was born on April 13, 1980 in Riga, Latvia.

Alan Melikdjanian (/ˌ m ɛ l ɪ k ˈ dʒ eɪ n i ə n / ; Russian: Алан Меликджанян; born April 13, 1980), known by the alias Captain Disillusion, is an American independent filmmaker. Melikdjanian has been active in the founding of video-sharing sites Openfilm and Filmnet.com, and is the creator of the YouTube web-series Captain Disillusion, a comedic series of videos promoting critical thinking and skepticism, mainly centering around the use of visual effects and video editing.

In 2008, during an interview for The Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe, he describes Captain Disillusion as a YouTube web series that tackles paranormal and illusion videos uploaded by others on YouTube. He started this effort as a blog entry on Myspace but later saw these items as ready made scripts for short videos. He notes that Penn & Teller were instrumental to his current interest and eventually found the skeptical movement involved in similar work. He finds that his followers like to learn about the illusions. It is not his intent to spoil legitimate entertainment or spoil a current performers work. His intent in showing how video illusions are created is to clear up misconceptions. Melikdjanian describes the basis for Openfilm.com briefly, saying it “was formed for film makers. The goal is to provide higher quality product and a group of serious content creators.”

In his videos, he wears a vintage 1980s tracksuit, and the skin of the lower part of his face is covered in silvery paint. He later introduced a sidekick, “Mr Flare”, also voiced by Melikdjanian.

Melikdjanian was the co-founder and creative director of FilmNet.com, and was the co-founder and chief creative officer of Openfilm. Both were intended as alternatives to popular video-sharing site YouTube, but for serious amateur filmmakers who “don’t want to place their work alongside YouTube’s mediocrities.” OpenFilm closed in August 2015.

In a 2017 interview with Richard Saunders from The Skeptic Zone, he said, when talking about the video effects editing process that “You know, the tools change but the methods really don’t. It’s all about making things look questionable and kinda crappy and low quality and then you can pretty much get away with anything”. In replying to a follow up question regarding believing what you see on the internet he said “When I started out, people just kinda believed everything, it was like shooting fish in a barrel, but these days people are just really asking me “is this fake?”, “is this fake?”, “is this fake?” and half the stuff they show me is just you know, a juggler juggling a lot of balls. They can’t conceive that that could be real, people just don’t believe anything anymore. I guess that’s good for me because I get to explain lots of stuff but I wish people could finally strike that balance where they’re not too credulous but they also know not to just dismiss everything out of hand”.

With Captain Disillusion I connected a random thing—visual effects—to skepticism in a way that people seem to find engaging. I’m sure that can be done with many other fields in different ways.”
