A small light rigged above a doorway in an odd way, using a grip arm and a string coming from a ceiling vent.
On-set video monitor displaying a shot of a TV in a room. In addition to the various camera status displays around the image, two vertical pieces of green masking tape have been applied to the screen itself to indicate the vertical video frame crop.
Lights, a camera, microphone and video monitor arranged around a blue curtain backdrop raked with the beam of a spotlight.
HD 16:9 version of the same screenshot, showing the top and bottom of the frame are slightly cropped in.
YouTube comment: "I'm so sad, that the captain made the mistake of getting in the fatal "every video has to be bigger and better than the last one" trap. Now we are down to 1 video per year, with almost no payoff, other than some ego petting. He should bring back the countdown clock. The channel is virtually dead right now. Either hire people to help out with the workload, to come back down to earth."
One of my old tweets from 2019. “EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK at Mr. Flare in the controversial Captain Disillusion live-action remake.” An image of a cinematically lit, hideous Mr. Flare abomination with fur and a realistic human eyeball.
Ami Yamato (wearing in a colorful lenticular cap from Back to the Future II & a Captain D merch shirt) and Captain Disillusion stand together in front of a DeLorean time machine. It's a still frame from one of their collab videos.

Still from NBC's Community. A Dias de los Muertos-themed hallucination of Annie seductively saying "tell me about Woodstock and Sputnik, Pierce."

The exact same graphic but with a pie chart, just as wrongly proportioned.

Same image but with the background deeply out of focus
The same production still comically altered into extremely high-key lighting on the characters, with blue/purple washes on the background.
Screenshot of two Bluesky replies, (identities blanked out). Reply 1: "So, how did the camera op know to pan up?" Reply 2: "Center of gravity goes straight down at a constant acceleration when falling (ignoring drag), so if you shift position your body's location/rotation is determined by how it moved the center of gravity. This is to say you bent the wrong way for that rotation at the start to make sense lol"
Hundreds of thin, densely-packed vertical stripes of varying widths stretch across the entire image. About a third of them are bright green, the rest magenta and red.

Seated in a car, Natalie Tran (communitychannel) is gleefully showing Alan Melikdjanian (Captain Disillusion) something on her phone. He is comically stunned and concerned.
