You've carved out a nice niche for yourself-cinematic educational films, with an eye towards appreciating our planet. You've got a knack for presentation as well. Can't wait to see what comes next...
I just came across your account and have come to the conclusion that you make the best vids on yt. These are cinematic masterpieces. As a geologist, they are the perfect mix of story telling, beautiful imagery, and scientific explanations to watch at the end of the day
These kinds of chans are why I like RU-vid. No lowest common denominator guff or bad british VO. Beautifully written, shot and edited on interesting subjects that in the end always leaves open questions to hook you into either going to do your own research and exploration or stick around for more and likely both. Extremely well done.
Well done, Aidin I was captivated the entire time. I’m so impressed at the storytelling and production quality…I can’t believe you do it all by yourself. Looking forward to see where life takes you next.
Another major human impact in iceland is the lupine. One of my favourite parts of iceland is how massive fields of lupine seem to hide the ring road. The lupine is an invasive species from alaska. Originaly brought to iceland for its nitrogen fixing properties and (according to some locals near vic i myrdal) as a way to stop the sandstorms. The lupine did a little too well in iceland quickly covering formaly forrested areas and now threatens local biodiversity. Particularly by outcompeting local nitrogen fixing grasses that serve as essential food sources for the islands birds.
It is a controversial plant for sure, but I would rather have that plant than the desertification it's absence would invite, and actually recent research shows that it doesn't actually outcompete things like birch trees or spruce because it is not tolerant of shade and will eventually loose the battle for light to things like the native birch trees. But yeah, we should definitely still control it's spread where possible to avoid the negative factors, like it out competing 'melgresi' but I think that melgresi is an even hardier plant and will actually grow in places where even the lupine won't.
Just wanted to say, spectacular presentation, it's so good even kids like it. My 4 year old asks me to "watch the volcanoes guy" when she wants to watch educational videos
Another amazing video on such a peculiar, yet humble and intriguing island! I never knew the mountains could look like that. Thank you for an astounding geological lesson and overview of Iceland's natural wonders!
I really enjoyed the whole video a lot. Great visuals and especially storytelling. Not too fast and hectic, but calm, peaceful with simple editing techniques. You really can make wallpapers from the video. Visuals and Iceland are so beautiful.
I'm not a professional cinematographer or great at color grading by any means, but sometimes your videos are waay too saturated and are too contrasty (in my opinion, maybe I'm wrong). Maybe bringing up some of the complete blacks to grays and desaturating just a little some heavy shots could look better. I hope you can understand what I'm talking about since English is not my first language. Again that is a personal opinion and by no means am I telling you that your videos are looking bad, the are f"ing amazing, just trying to give some constructive feedback. Love your content, it feels genuine, and is beautifully crafted.
Dude i have just found your videos and man you are one of the most fascinating people on youtube your documentaries are outstanding gosh to be a friend in your life would just be amazing
there’s people actually trying to recover icelands great forests!! I’ve watched there videos on RU-vid, they aren’t from Iceland but are very good at doing conservation work.
I just found your videos and I’m binging them all! You really have a gift for relaying information to us with a passion and interest that is contagious. I’m really really enjoying all of them and wish they were longer!
Just imagine, it took years of practice and effort to Aidin reach here.. and people expect to niche down your channel just like that. Huge respect Aidan. each video I am learning something..
The way you present these topics is just marvellous. Perfect sound design with gorgeous animations and cinematography just makes each and every one of your videos as masterpiece.
This is beautiful, man. It's awesome how you juxtapose so many themes throughout the film: fire/ice; destruction/rebirth; man/nature; etc. Question for you: My wife and I are taking our girls on a 6-month around-the-world adventure starting in about 6 weeks, and I'd love to create a few similar films during our travels. Did you set out with this specific story in mind, or did you learn about it while you were in Iceland and have that inform your storytelling? I'd love to know more about how you research and plan these films! 👊🏻
Damn, this is a great video, far better than most of the Iceland-videos I've seen. Especially in terms of storytelling combined with visual graphics, this is top, top level. Thanks for making this video, it was a great preview for my Iceland trip in two weeks!
Wow! Lately there have been so man Iceland videos by different content creators on RU-vid, but this one is by far distance the very best. You are amazingly talented!
Driving from Show Low to Springerville on US-60 you'll see dozens of these cinder cones. On the outskirts of Springerville you'll see an escarpment that is the edge of a massive lava flow.
I’ve been to Iceland twice and was lucky enough to see the most recent eruption form a helicopter and I drove the ring road of the country over 10 days and it’s like a different world
Wow! That was captured beautifully. Love how you put history and science into your videos, I definitely learned a lot from this video. Keep up the great work!
The other reason Iceland exists where it is, is because there's a hotspot directly underneath it on the plate boundary. As far as I know, this is the only hot spot that exists on a divergent boundary too
Awesome video man!! You’re a beast of storytelling! I want to visit Iceland next year? Any recommendations on who to use for as a guide to check the same places you showed in the videos?
your content is underrated, found it by your vlogging with g7 tutorial and decided to check out more, glad i did, def subbed, keep grinding, btw how did you learn? school/self taught? keep pushing out the content bro
gran video como siempre amigo!!! también soy usuario de Artilist hace par de años, pero siento que no están renovando mucho su contenido, deberían tener mucho mas !! un abrazo
amazing video man, like always! love the storytelling, drone shots, colour grading and i just wondering, where did you get all the old archive footage?
@@AidinRobbins Respect! As someone seeking to move forward as a solo creator it is extremely inspiring to see what is possible solo or with minimized team.
