How we made the monster and robot costumes (from 10 Years music video)

[@achnix3167]

Why is it that icelandic people never seem busy, always creative, living in nice houses with money.... lol im jealous.

[@sepijortikka]

@Tesla-Effect Exactly because of the small population?

[@zigisamblak]

Just google "happiest countries" and "highest social equality". Iceland scores 4th and 1st. North west Europe kills it here cause of education, social equality, health care. I mean every single scandinavian country is in the top 10. Pretty content Dutchy here though in no. 5. :)

[@achnix3167]

@@zigisamblak thanks i know... cheers from Berlin

[@zigisamblak]

@@achnix3167 Cheers from Amsterdam! :D So for the "there's barely any people living there" andy's, netherlands is top 5 and one of the most densely populated countries on earth. Also most of the people in these scandinavian countries live in highly populated urban areas. Low population density = happiness is objectively false since the vast majority of happy people in these countries live in densely populated areas.

[@sepijortikka]

@@zigisamblak What I have been experienced in the Netherlands, people are not living that packed there. There is people everywhere, but they are quite scarsely spread around the country. Even Amsterdam dont have overly populated areas (if you dont count the weed tourists in the centrum). I love Netherlands mentality btw, its kind of a cool version of my country Finland :)

[@sharonb3241]

Not only talented singers and group but they’re artistic/creative as well. Pretty neat Arny was the fluffy monster. Congrats on the pregnancy and then “10 years” and see you all in Rotterdam.

[@neslipatterns]

They are definitely the most deserving to be on that stage, the amount of work they put just by themselves is just admirable but it will not be possible anymore. This is so sad. Hope you receive the result that you want :)

[@ashdjin8530]

omg I love them, they're so laid back and down to earth, just watching them reduces my anxiety. Their music and his voice are also calm inducing. If Iceland can produce such music and people, I want to move and live there for the rest of my life.

[@teaandmoretea5016]

Love that Árný is confused about ‘Nephew’, ‘Cousin’ and ‘Uncle’ in English - I am learning Icelandic and ‘Frændi’ confused me too - for the exact opposite reason I guess!

[@AtlasBlizzard]

It's because in Icelandic there are no different words to differentiate. It's always "frændi" (male) or "frænka" (female).

[@newawkward9803]

I'm learning Icelandic too! Do you want to talk about the language and some books/sources to studying it?

[@julianamagg3177]

We do have names for uncle and nephew but frændi just means a male relative that is not your father, son or brother (or in straight line up like grandfather) and frændi is just used more (and frænka for a female relative). It confuses Icelanders endlessly when speaking English and foreigners learning Icelandic. Uncle is föðurbróðir or móðurbróðir (father's brother or mother's brother). Aunt is föðursystir or móðursystir. Nephew is systursonur or bróðursonur (sister's son or brother's son) and niece is systurdóttir or bróðurdóttir.

[@Anno_Al]

@@AtlasBlizzard that's so interesting because in swedish we specify even more specifically than in English, for example farbror (father's brother) and mormor (mothers mother) so I was always confused by English like "okay so how do people know if you're talking about your dad mom or your moms?"

[@ThornyRoseV]

@anno sterner. We do that too in icelandic..farbror = föðurbróðir. Whats your point?

[@ilkmanm]

I llllllloooooveee their English accent and beautiful relationship. 💖

[@JMG-nl3lf]

I like the subtle The Roop reference at 6:41

[@charliekoohler4774]

Was gonna comment the same. Seems like he has been practicing that move. I love it!

[@vahvahdisco]

The hand gesture isn’t from The Roop originally ! The ‘V’ part of it is from Star Trek and is known as the Vulcan Salutation that Spock (Leonard Nimoy) used to greet others - it first appeared in 1967 (2 years before I was born). The ‘E’ part, I have no idea on except that I was taught this (and the ‘V’ part) as an exercise in typing class in the 1980’s - it was supposed to help teach you to keep your fingers in alignment in order to keep your fingers on the home keys. No good in my case because my little fingers have always had ‘a mind of their own’ and stick out at odd angles when I try to type (I can only use 3 fingers on each hand even now, but I type just as fast as anyone else !) and when I do the ‘E’ part, my Index and little fingers move further backwards (splay upwards with palms down); my left little finger also gets stuck and I can’t bend it without forcing the tendon back in place ! It sounds painful but it’s something I’ve had all my life so it doesn’t bother me too much !

[@lesanimaux4416]

@@vahvahdisco No need for the mansplaining, Terry. We know it's not their 'original' move, it's just something they do.

[@FigoNOVA]

What a great video!!!! :) Super impressed with how you all got these costumes together. Loved hearing about it and seeing behind the scenes, and the end results were so fantastic! The sketches, the ingenuity behind repurposing things and the use of different textures was fantastic. Also, "The robot smells of cows," that would be a nice shirt slogan or easter egg in a future video/skit :P

I just wanted to compliment you on your English. I know its not an easy language but you speak it so well! Thank you for the construction walkthrough - I appreciate the music video much more now :)

[@seren4740]

It's an easy language compared to Icelandic. Period.

[@milandulic]

@@seren4740 I don't know what language is easy if it's not English😂

[@GossipGirl770]

English is the easiest language in the world. Maybe it can be difficult to some people when it comes to pronunciation, otherwise its easy comparing to other languages.

[@jgmccabe]

@@GossipGirl770 I disagree; many language have far stricter rules. Spoken English can be relatively easy to learn to a certain extent (partly because it's so widely used in the media), but getting it right in all circumstances is very difficult because there are so many exceptions to the rules. Spelling, pronunciation and grammar are all more random than many languages and, in fact, many native English speakers I've met are rubbish at English. :-)

[@jgmccabe]

I want to know how on earth they can sing "I don't wanna know what would've happened If I never had had your love"! Maybe it makes it easier if you're not a native English speaker, but I struggle big time with that! :-)

[@BeauHumor]

If you look at 9:21, a fly flies on the robots head. Then the coolest picture ever comes into view, and suddenly there are two flies. Then we go to a shot of the whole robot, and they're suddenly gone... Did you happen to see these flies? Let us know!
