@@CuriosityCulture Your video isn't even up yet, but you've still earned a new subscriber. I love watching collaborations of great channels, and you both seem to have great potential for growth.
@@TommoCarroll Unfortunately, no, I couldn't find any specific articles or videos on the topic. And I've looked. I just remember because another British RU-vidr I support on Patreon, Name Explain, had two of his videos locked a private for "deceptive tags" and he had no idea what was going on and could get no help from RU-vid: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P1lo3QVHJ4U.html In the comments, someone suggested that it had to do with listing his patrons in the description. Then after it happened to another one of his videos, he told his patrons in an update that he was going to have to remove the rewards tier that said "get your name listed in the description!". Sure enough, he has never had this issue again since then.
@AspectScience I have an explanation, so there are a lot of videos on RU-vid that put 10 to 100 words and names in the description of the video with addition to tags and RU-vid decided that this was spam and only tags were the correct and allowed way to do this. The tag spam doesn't describe the video most of the time, it actually got to the point i saw a video about reddit with 4chan 9 times and 23 different unrelated topics. It has been taken down. RU-vid probably said "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!' and programmed the bots to find spam and remove videos with spam. Now having a lot of words in an isolated area in the description that doesn't make a sentence counts as spam to the bot and puts the video in the risk of being taken video down. You can tackle this by making a sentence or maybe say their name at the end of their video like Marshall Does Stuff who makes a song with the names.
Fantastic exploration into our human innate calling to dance and move our bodies when we hear music and feel it through our bodies. Great graphics and examples. I truly believe we all have "eternal dancers" us that just got to move to music regardless of what our brains think about our dance abilities. Happy dancing, friends!
I love this style choice of animations blended into the real world. It's unique and looks amazing. Just waiting for your channel to get the millions of subs it clearly deserves!
Thanks so much! That means a lot as it has been a conscious decision to shift to this style! I'm slowly transitioning my whole video style and want to include a lot more seamlessly integrated 'real-world' animations so I'm glad you like them!
Perhaps it is related to contagious yawning and laughter. In any case, I'm sure we've all engaged in the Chicken Dance at a wedding at least once. Now that is contagious!
Gravijta oh interesting! I didn’t come across those 2 elements of human behaviour in all the research, which is actually really surprising! I’d love to do a video on them but don’t think I could stand days on end of laughing and yawning! My personal favourite is the ‘pterodactyl’ dance move. It’s niche, but effective.
This is soooo good! I have always wondered why people danced outside of “seems like a good idea”. Well researched and fantastic production quality. Totally worth waiting for.
That means a lot to me - ultimately my goal is to do exactly that, and to prove to people that there's knowledge to be gained from even the most mundane things around them in their every day lives!
Very proud to be a patreon Tom, absolutely love the channel and seeing it grow. Another great video and love the quality and effort that is put in, nice one.
Thanks I lot man! I love yours! Have been a big fan of yours for a while! Haven't comment in a bit on the whole of youtube, been too busy! You should see me exploring your comment section soon!
Aspect Science Both! Trying to get done with a video I wrote the script for back in April that ended up being very difficult to find footage for/animate. But non-RU-vid life has been extremely busy the last few months. I want to be done with this video so I can work on some other ideas!
FutureNow eek! That sounds like a tough one! I know how frustrating that can be, so all I can say is keep on pushing through with it because it’ll feel great when you hit that publish button! Looking to have a big end to the year on your channel? Ie do you have some big videos in the works? Ah yeah that can be so tough. My last 2 weeks have been non-stop. Literally. Just had to sink onto the sofa after publishing this video!
Awesome, I have always wondered why do we get used to a song after listening to it for more number of times and then we don't like to listen to that song
Stumbled upon this video because of austinmcconnell and boy, oh, boy did I found a gold mine. Instantly hooked with your videos. I'm joining your army, Aspect Science. More power.
Danny Dankmeme so true, I still can’t believe it to be honest with you! I’m just really grateful for all the love and support from this growing community!
Yo my guess on that poll was really close! Also: why won't you dance? You should totally dance. Also also: it's really cool that you reply to so many of your commenters (including me!). Thanks for that! 😄
Yeah it was! Haha, I've had so many requests for me to dance! I've listened and have created a new goal specifically for it! 100 Patrons and I dance! :p No problem at all, honestly! I LOVE chatting to the community as much as I can!
This is great stuff, as always! The related question I've always had is: Why is it that some sounds that are so pleasing to us, while others are so awful and physically irritating? What is it about a beautiful piano piece, or symphony, that makes it "beautiful?" And why, when I sit down and bang on my piano, does it sound so "terrible?" I've always figured it had something to do with the math and the arrangements involved in music, and something about how our brains find it to be pleasing when it follows a defined pattern, or when the sine waves from the various sounds themselves are complementary rather than discordant - but that's all just a completely uninformed guess! That could be a cool follow-on video! Keep making awesome content, man - really love your stuff!
Haha! I've had so many requests/comments about me dancing! I've had to actually add a new goal to the Patreon page for this specific reason! At 100 Patreons I will be releasing a dancing video!
I just want to add one more point: Dancing without music happens a lot in animals, mostly to show off to the ladies. It might just have started as a way to move in beautiful ways in order to look sexy. Add to that the human need to communicate, the way we infer meaning from everything and our sense for rhythm and music, and we end up with dancing as we know it today.
Please make a video on your setup and how you edit. Your awesome. Quick tip... Turn down the brightness of the lighting on the right side of your face and angle it to where you have slightly more of a shadow on the left side.
I don't think the activation of movement-related areas of the brain is a cause but rather the effect of "having to move on the beat". We have learned as a society that it's fun and somewhat normal to move to music. Hence, our brain learns to link both areas. The study should've done these experiments on babies, people who hate dancing or people who don't like music all too much. The examples you stated at the end of the video is the same thing I think: we weren't born loving moving to the beat, we learned it. The question then is: what *is* the cause? I dunno. Jammin' is still dope though. That's something I do know. Disclamer: I'm not a neuroscientist and haven't read the studie(s).
Mattias Niels hey! Thanks for taking the time to write that thoughtful comment! It’s definitely interesting questions you pose, and their are some semi-answers for you! So first off, there is strong evidence that babies have an innate ability and tendency to move to a beat and in synchrony with a beat, so it’s likely an tragedy we have built into is, but it is thought that life/society reinforces those abilities/tendencies! Also the cause vs result questions is always fascinating! But the question you should consider is _why_ we enjoy dancing to a beat. Our brains have a reward pathway in response to dance, which really suggests there’s an adaptive/general advantage to it!
Love your videos man. Quality content and high production value editing. Where do you get your background music, if you don't mind sharing? keep up the great work, I'm a long time subscriber :)
top notch production man!! you should do a set up tour or something! really curious to know if you do it on a budget cause you're just starting up or you have any experience working under any other influencer. that would make a great video!! cheers :D
I’ll answer it for you right now! Budget - still using the same camera I have from 2012 (Canon T3i/600d) and some consumer-friendly LEDs, then I do everything myself so don’t have to pay anyone! Nope, haven’t worked under anyone else!
@@TommoCarroll you are full of surprises just when i thought it's impossible to do all that as a newbie but that insane simple equipment is truly inspiring !!! watching out for more surprises, bring it out! :D
Why we move to music is a very interesting question indeed. But i do not believe it has to do with mirrir neurons, because we move even to sounds of which we have no idea how they are made and which movement goes with it. Someone in the middle of the Amazon forest can dance to a clarinet without having any idea what it is. Lets get back to a time before complex music insturments, before electricity and all that. This is a time when every sound was important and many sounds required action. Wether it is the sound of flowing water, the rustle of leaves, the cry of a baby or the annoyed souns of the hewad of the tribe... Especially sudden sounds needed action, usually juming up from a sitting position or prepairing to run wshen in a standing position. These reflexes are what makes us move to modern sounds, to music. At the same time we do know that there is no danger, so there is a release of positive hormones (similar to when your lover tickles you or bites your ear). Dancing is a reapeated reflex to sound that used to be important. [sorry for my bad english, it is not my first language].
Previous month I managed to pull my first five figure wage ever!!! I've been working for this provider on the net for 2 years now and I never been happier... They are paying me $95 per hour, and the best thing about it is that I am not really that tech-savvy, they just required basic idea of internet and general typing skill...The best thing about this job is the more free time I got for my loved ones. I am able to commit quality time with my relatives and buddies and look after my children and also going on holiday with them very consistently. Don't avoid this chance and try to act fast. Check it out, what I do... *amazing73.com*
A little anecdote: I was never really someone that enjoyed music in the traditional sense. I listened to it when other people did, but I never went out of my way to listen to music; I absolutely never danced, not even in private. After I got convinced to learn how to play the guitar I found a new appreciation for music. I actually go out of my way to click on music videos that are recommended to me by RU-vid, and even get chills when I hear certain songs, even though I never did before. Still don't dance, but I at least move to music now. Bob my head, tap my feet, etc. Something else I was thinking about: Perhaps the synchrony of human movement is influenced by our hunter/gatherer past? Synchronous, complex hunting techniques could have been guided by the rhythmic patterns of human speech, though this is only a thought, and I have no evidence to back it up haha.
Natthone Cole that’s a really interesting anecdote, thanks for sharing! I wonder if the fact that you started to directly engage with music had some impact on your brain’s internal wiring. The brain is pretty plastic so I wouldn’t be surprised if some research out there could back up/look into this idea! And yeah, that’s actually another theory - or at least another thought that people have; that our desire for synchrony could have been to do with speech/hunter gatherer communities. But then the question is did our desire for synchrony come from that or _cause_ that? All so fascinating!
@@TommoCarroll Ha, I hadn't thought about the order in which it could have occurred. Extremely interesting, I'll probably be thinking about it all week. Great video as usual. Gives off a real Verge-like vibe, and really well put together. Honestly was surprised to learn you make them by yourself. Extremely professional.
Natthone Cole thanks Nathan! I really appreciate that. And it goes without saying that I live Verge and Verge Science content so that’s a big compliment! Also - if you can apply that thinking to a lot of questions you have I can guarantee it’ll open your eyes to a lot of things: at least it has in my experience. What I mean is, if you have the time, ask yourself “ok, what if I flip the idea I have of this to the opposite” and you’ll start to have some really interesting thoughts! I mainly apply this to ideas about evolution, which never ceases to fascinate me!
Mate, brilliant film! It's so easy to not even think about why Dance exists. It's like breathing. We just accept it as a thing humans do haha. And Loved seeing the animated humans being used haha! The hours of character rigging was worth it.
While researching why we all do something is interesting, what about those few people that couldn't carry a tune if you gave them a bucket? Finding out why they can't keep a beat, may be the clue to the puzzle.
His is a fascinating thought. And it honestly never occurred to me! During my research I came across the observations that even people without musical training can easily pick up a beat, but you’re right - there are some people that will always clap out of sync...I wonder what is going on there
I like how you've minimized jumpcuts with close-ups in between takes. It's a much better viewing experience in my opinion. Just one critique and that is you should either cite your sources in the description OR create a website and just put your script with sources as a blog post for further reading. BTW .. Do you do everything yourself? Animations were slick.
Animated Lessons thanks a lot, that was actually a conscious decision and I agree, it definitely adds to the flow! For sure! I’ve got some sources to add to the description but after hitting publish I just need to sit back and chill out haha!
I definitely could do this in the future - I might even add them to the description of this one soon! If a song is playing in this episode whilst a spotify-looking app is open on the phone, the names are on screen!
Hello! Awesome video as per usual. Would you mind linking/referencing all the music used in this video? I really liked it and it would be appreciated. Thanks
The social aspects are surely important for humans but the fact that there seems to be exactly one class of animals that _can_ synchronize their movements to music -- so called vocal mimics -- and more importantly the fact that they _will_ do this spontaneously and voluntarily when exposed to human music, even though none of these species themselves have any culture of music of their own, points to the incredibly fascinating fact that there is something inherent in this vocal mimic ability that leads animals to behave this way and to apparently find pleasure in movement that is synchronized with a regular auditory stimulus. In other words, all animals that can dance, like to dance. And all animals that can dance are vocal mimics. Interestingly, they do not share a common ancestor that was also a vocal mimic. Far from it in fact. There are bird and mammal vocal mimics and their entire higher brain development happened completely independently from each other. Call me biased, but I find this much more fascinating and noteworthy than the fact that something that a species likes will be co-opted for their social bonding.
I have an idea for the next episode. I am very interested in why we developed to do sports. We dont gain the ability to defend ourselfes nor how to survive. And we only get good at things that are oracticly usseless outside the court/ring etc. The only thing that sports help us is to stay active, but wouldnt it be more effextive to train karate or kickbox? They train our body and teach us how to defend ourselfes. To clarify i dont have anything against sports in jeneral im just curious to why we do it Ps sorry for any mistakes that i may have made in my grammar.
