That moment when you realize Adam is so entertaining to watch that there is no music for most of the video's length.

[@plottwist3364]

Volvary great observation. many yt channels seems to think putting music is mandatory when it's not when your content is already interesting

[@TechGuard0]

I think it's part of the charm.

[@sausey5857]

Nah m8 Wailord

[@beingatwat286]

So true

[@Volvary]

First, no need to be agressive. You can tell your point without attacking people you know? Attacking only discredits your point. As for the music part, yes, there is music in some parts (time lapse, parts where Adam doesn't have much to say/ isn't doing anything specfic) but there are also a lot of moments where there is absolutely no music where other channels would had put some. (The fur side selection, while he is doing the frame, etc.) That kind of thing shows the mastery of Tested on attention span and their knowledge of their audience. They know that the audience of the One Day Builds are entertained by Adam's explanations and the sound of his workshop tools. Thus the lack of music for those parts.

[@maverickramah9477]

I like how his ability to see is his last priority 😂

[@scottwpilgrim]

[@MWeiss-ci3qs]

As an amateur seamstress, I love seeing Adam with buckets of quilting clips, bolts of muslin, and the exact same machine I use. It's so wonderful seeing people outside of the direct sewing community using and respecting my craft as something more than 'a granny thing'.

[@CapitanGrover]

You helped me so much figure out how to make my little brothers Totoro, instead of the camera system cause it was for such a small con, we figured out that we could fake the nose and used that as his way of seeing out. It turned out wonderfully. thank you, Love watching your work, keep at it!

[@lmaChroma]

I kept thinking, use mesh for the nose! How are you gonna see? Use the mesh Adam!

[@emilyc8958]

Hey Adam, if you use that support structure for costumes in the future, you probably want to consider running some foam over the band of metal that runs in front of your mouth. If you were to have a fall you would be really grateful for the 30 seconds you took to glue something a little protective on there. Also, if you ever want to wear a big costume like this in a really high temperature, have a look into cooling vests. I use one for medical reasons, but I reckon they would be great for keeping comfortable doing something like this too :D

[@daramaguiginn7992]

He used one for the bear, and probably also in the Totoro, though it's possible he didn't, since it was in New York in late October.

I noticed that too, but then I thought about where he is wearing the costume. The tail would either have to be stuck to Totoro's back, making it hard to notice, or it would have to stick out a bit, making Totoro more likely to get caught on/knock stuff over. This being said, he probably just forgot about it.

His excitement at this is bringing me to the point of...love the way he's just so...wow..he deserves more views

The sheer joy in this made me so happy. I want to see Adam do things like this all the time, because his passion and his drive makes it so enjoyable!
