Glad you liked our video! Put alot of time and love into this one.
thank you so much for this, Samuel 🙏🙏🙏
You (and Ren) are geniuses! Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world. You will change it. You HAVE changed it!
production on this video is INSANE! Awesome job guys!
You're a genius!
your work is both beautiful and engaging .Thank you.🙏
Don't forget to give props to Samuel Perry-Falvey (who does most of Ren's videos) and his team!
💯 agree this is a Ren and Sam production. It’s a beautiful and insightful reaction, but I wish, especially as a filmmaker, that he would acknowledge the actual videographer. Sam has worked Ren for a while now and the two together are amazing.
Oui! l'équipe autour de lui est bourré de talant et d'amour
🙌🏻🙌🏻✨✨Sam is 🔥!
Thank you. I was just going to comment the same thing. Great Minds! haha!
absolutely! he's incredible.
“Every cut is a lie…Ren instinctively knows this and it’s part of his persona of being incredibly authentic” 🤯. You have just articulated something most of us could have never drawn a conclusion to. Absolutely brilliant analysis!
thank you so much! cheers to you.
There is one cut only in this... when he's in the wheelchair and the camera rotates around his back, before showing the string quartet... and only because they were only going to get one chance at the rain scene afterwards so he wanted to get the best take prior to that.
Lu et approuvé vous avez entièrement raison je viens de m'abonner
@@GhostWatcher2024 Another cut when he pull down the "mask"
💯 agreed
Ren has an amazing BTS video for this. There is 1 cut, when they pass behind the wheelchair. It was needed to move the lapel mic to the tie (and waterproof it). Also, Ren only had the 1 suit. From the time you see the strings it was not only a 1 take video... it was only 1 take because they didn't have time to dry the suit and the set to do it again. He called the violin player on the left a legend because the water malfunctioned a bit and ended up getter her wet but she barely flinched and didn't move. They had to replace the strings on her bow but she stuck it out. Violins are expensive so the fact she sat there, not knowing how wet she was going to get... true class.
There’s no cut at the beginning too? When the camera spins? Seems like a perfect place for it.
There's also a good place when he removed the hood. They only had 1 day to film, I wonder if they added those possibilities just in case.. but according to Ren and Samuel they only cut behind the chair - Sam said the globe spinning was an amazing fluke... it stopped at exactly the right time and landed on Cuba@@mrrydogg
especially the smoke :D
heh I was going to make the same comment about 9:52 being a perfect opportunity for a cut!
There actually is a cut there, you can see it when his hand pulls the hood down, and is suddenly higher, pulling down again. They had to do it there,couse Ren got so sweaty from playin the piano😁 but still only 2 cuts in a video this long...legend😁
One thing i just realized is theough the whole video Jimmy is moving forward, never looking back, fueled by the words of his father. The scenes in the background dont go away though and when he gets paralyzed, the attendant places him so that hes facing backwards for the first time, essentially forced to see his past and the things hes done. Truly visualizing the moment of self reflection. Just a cool thing ijust noticed after watching the video a million times.
That's what I love about his videos - every time I watch them I realise something new that's cool and intentional!
The thing i just noticed that is beautiful is when he gets the call about his father. I never noticed that he spins the globe first before the phone rings. And as he answers, the globe stops spinning. Like the symbolism for the world stopping as he got the bad news.
Gotta do the 'tale of Jenny and Screech' trilogy. Basically the video that started the trademark style of Ren videos and arguably the best one till date...
There is one cut in this one. Behind the wheelchair. Because the use of water in the next scene was too risky and they would not have time to redo the whole thing. There is a really great behind the scenes video on youtube if you want more info on the making of this.
Truth, per Ren himself.
It lokks like there also is a cut when he takes the bag from his head
@@Bjarnis666 It could be, but not necessarily, since it is only a few seconds in.
If Ren was not playing the Grieg piano intro, there could also be a cut in the very beginning when the camera turns around and credits are displayed...could doesn't mean it was.
Why would the water scene require a cut ? Ren said they rigged up a hose system in the ceiling rafters and was ready when required. He also said that the cut was only necessary to get the string quartet into position. Sorry ☹️
@@thomasgoldschmidt298 The bag cut was because Ren's head was a sweaty mess and it took more than a few hand strokes to sort his hair out 😅
It also took the pressure off Ren a little with the piano playing at the beginning in case he made a mistake later so he didn't have to do the piano again as that's on the edge of his ability. I don't think they cut on the rotation, though it would have been an opportunity if needed. Boosting the brightness would probably confirm.😀
Ren is perfectly imperfect. All the imperfections that are present in his one takes makes it more real and relatable.
love this.
our smooth lines are comfortable. it is our jagged edges that make for a story, whether kind or not. the scars we bear owe a tell that needs told.
Hollywood made everything so smooth and fake
Societal illness is the best way I heard it put. Great reaction
thank you!
Don't you think Ren should be nominated and winning international prizes for these masterpieces?! Thank you for your reaction to it ❤
I believe he's been nominated for Hi Ren
Ren has yet to write his masterpiece. We are currently experiencing a artist on a journey of expanding and refining his tools on his path to that masterpiece.
Had been nominated for at least 4.
Honourable mention in Prague Spring 2023.
The most recent in Poland this month (November 23)
Yep, but somewhere in Eastern Europe which doesn’t exactly carry the same kudos that this warrants.
@@supertuscans9512 I'll let how chauvinistic this sentence sounds slip, you obviously have good intentions. BTW neither Prague nor Poland are in Eastern Europe.
But you are absolutely factually wrong. Camerimage is one of the most prestigious festivals in the world, it's just specialised, as it focuses strictly on cinematography, not on films, acting, directing, screenwriting and all the rest. It is for film professionals, not for general public. And professionals absolutely do take notice of what's happening there.
For Sam to be nominated for Camerimage best music video award with an absolutely independent, ridiculously low budget video of Hi Ren absolutely speaks volumes and is huuuuge kudos. And I can bet you dollars against nuts that he has now been noticed all over the world in the professional circles.
Your reaction has been one of the best I've seen to MG3. Thank you.
You are very correct that a lot of the virtuosity in Ren's videos comes from the fact that he has a small and intimate crew of well-trusted people as devoted to their film craft as Ren is to his musical craft. Sam Perry-Falvey is insanely gifted as his videos with other musicians shows. With Ren in the mix, he glows.
The one cut in this video--in the first pass behind Ren's wheelchair happened because they had a deadline for shooting and Ren had only one suit, so once the sprinklers went on, they wouldn't be able to reset. That fact is insane and speaks to the skill of cameraman Bo, lighting man Josh, and Sam and Ren, themselves.
If you want to know more about the video, check out Wolf Johnson's BTS video. It has some interesting information.
thanks so much for the detail!
@@itsjonhiller It's also at the cut that they change the mic from his lap to inside the tie not to keep his vocal, it is recorded live as well, 1 mic on Ren, one on the camera and some good work on mixing after. You are right with that small crew they make magic, great reaction.
Awww, magic killer. I liked it better when Sam had a working filmmaker convinced that it was ONE shot.
It's ok I suppose, they know they aced it!
I really appreciate your expertise and how you explain what is going on, not to mention your obvious enthusiasm when you spot something that particularly interests you. 👍
I love how you got sucked in and stopped analyzing the visuals for a while there. :)
There is actually *one* cut, aroung 9:54 when the camera goes behind the wheelchair. They had to move the lapel mic from the jacket to his tie. And speaking of one shots, after this cut they only had one chance to nail the final part, because they only had one suit, and they didn't have time to let the floor dry once they had started the rain. Also, the viola player got water on her bow (you see her moving it around 12:49), so she would have had problems playing after that. Still great of her to stay as still as she did, so that she didn't ruin the shot!
Nice explanation. Samuel is so good at that one cut, it even fooled a veteran film maker. Props.
an other cut is at 4:23 probably for make-up after pull off the bag
I honestly believe that Ren is one of the most important multi-media artists of our generation. I wonder what would happen if he was given enough budget to create, say, a movie or TV show. He, and his team, show such mature technical chops to enhance his vision. All this and a lyrical and musical talent. The world is his oyster!
With the plethora of reaction channels available, I have carefully selected a few key channels for their personality and focus. Your perspective as a film maker has been the perfect puzzle piece. Thank you and keep making videos.
so appreciate this! glad i could be part of the pruning process :)
To get that globe to stop spinning the moment he answers the phone effectively making his world stop hearing the news his father has died is beyond amazing.
Obviously Ren is a talent the likes of which no one has seen before (certainly in the arts), but I'm surprised there is so little (or any) recognition for Samuel Perry-Falvey here. Sam is Ren's good friend, and the filmographer behind most of Ren's best one-take videos. In fact it was your Hi Ren reaction that Sam commented on, where I learned the particulars of Hi Ren being not quite a one-take.
See Ren's interview with Black Pegasus when Sam pops in (in Canada no less). They also filmed Ren's 'For Joe' performance during Sam's visit. Anyway, Sam is a great talent and also seems a great guy, given he and Ren's close relationship. Shout out to Sam.
Oh, and this video was all planned while Ren was in Canada for treatments. He took time off and went home to film this. Crazy ambition and determination.
The amazing thing about Ren is that he impresses artists and professionals across all fields of expertise.
I have been looking forward to your thoughts on this one, it's so cinematic.
Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber shared Money Game 3 on Instagram and said Ren is one of the best storytellers he has seen in a long time. No wonder we all see so much Broadway potential in the way Ren approaches these things.
no way! that's wild. thanks for the comment.
I think there are two cuts in this clip. First at 4:22, when he putting down the mask (hand position) and second at 9:51 when camera moves behind the wheelchair. But still amazing piece of art!
Glad I'm not the only person with ADHD who noticed the 4:22 cut.
There is just one cut at the back of the wheelchair because they couldn't go back after the rain because they had only one day to shoot and one suit to wear.
A complete Artist ❤
Masterpieces, everything he does is magical.
Absolutely loved your insights, I actually watched your video twice already to catch what you had to say again. So many things beautifully spot on:
- The small crew, comprised of a lot of long term friends that all have a trusting working relationship that allows for collaborative thinking
- The authenticity that Ren strives for, shown in the long one-shots and even the practical effects of the spinning gimbal
- The use of negative space both visually and sonically to give the audience the space to breathe and absorb--Ren's studio production leans into this concept a lot as well, and I saw a comment once that asked, "Why did you bother to load more than one bullet?" and Ren responded, "To build tension.” (There's also a camera cutaway disguising a bit of sleight-of-hand that's happening with the clips at that moment.)
- The specificity of storytelling breaching into the Universal (have you seen the Tales of Jenny and Screetch--Full Version yet? Talk about mastery in simplicity and specificity of storytelling... well worth the watch)
- And the trancendence of art into the spiritual, and how Ren genuinely seems to inspire that reaction with some of his pieces, tapping into places of true emotion for the viewer/listener
It might feel like a bit of a backslide after watching this one, but the video for Money Game Part 1 is equally impressive, especially when taken in context of guerilla filming with practically no budget and (I think) 5 people total on set, including Ren and Romain (could be wrong on that number). There are visual cues in the MG3 video that are actual direct references to the lyrics in MG1 ("point the mirror at ourselves", ”rain, rain, rain, rain, a storm it comes our way", "finger on the trigger of a money game") that it might be worth a watch as well? Money Game 2 is a lyric video so not much for you to break down, but so worth the listen if you liked the message on MG3!
And last bit in this egregiously long comment 😅: I'll have to look up the author you mentioned, they seem to be someone that people who like Ren would get something out of reading.
Thanks again for your analysis!
I concur.
thanks so much for taking the time to summarize! deeply appreciate it.
@@itsjonhiller While this one wasn't a "one take" I believe the term is a "one shot" (which has clever cuts in it to make it feel like a single take) Money Game Part 1 is a true one shot video like Hi Ren. MG1 took 170+ takes before they got it just right.
Another "one shot" video of his It Murderer which follows him from the roof of an apartment complex into the flat down to the street and into the car and then they take a drive. It's truly impressive. If anything it would be great if you could try and find the places they did cuts in that one.
Amazing breakdown! Love your channel.
@@MsReclusivity, I thought that they only did one cut , which was discussed during a twitch stream . I will have to go back and watch it again. Maybe he only acknowledged the one cut because someone in the chat mentioned it in the moment.
Thank you , I so enjoyed your quiet review of this astounding piece.
This video has an extreme value add to this production. The music, video and story is amazing on it's own, but most wouldn't understand the absolute genius without this reaction on top.
You've got to see the Tale of Jenny & Screech. But *make sure* you see them all together, or chronological, starting with Jenny's tale.
Thanks very much for this reaction/review. I've been looking forward to your reaction to this piece. Money Game 3 is another music and visual arts masterwork by Ren and his team.
thanks for the appreciation!
Sam deserves much credit for this as mentioned below. His filming ideas and techniques have seen him shortlisted at a couple of music video awards in Europe of late (Hi Ren) and I think he was commended in one of them.
Ren practiced the Edvard Greig piece he played at the start as he was scared of making a mistake. He got a chap named Charlie to translate the music to the piano and play it.
Next watch you do of this, check out the globe; it stopped spinning on South America in a serendipitous fashion since that was the topic of the song in that moment!!
There was the one cut. when the camera goes behind the wheelchair and goes black. If you notice is is black for a fraction too long ie, the chair appears "wider" than it would be in real life.
I must say, I had visions of Mr. Baldwin when he began waving the gun, but it was a decommissioned one and he also swapped out the bullets off screen with a slight of hand.
There is a "Making of Money Game 3 video filmed by Wolf Johnson you can find on Ren's channel. Also Knox Hill interviewed Samuel Perry-Falvey about filming this video.
I enjoyed hearing your take on this. I also loved the editing saying you mentioned.
Every single video I see I become more obsessed - the storytelling, musicality, videography - it's 100% genius
The cameraman did a stellar job.
One of the best reactions I have watched to this masterpiece. It is so nice to see the respect Ren and Samuel Perry-Falvey get from people who understand the intricacies of creating these works of art. Thanks for your insightful reaction ❤❤
thank you so much!
It was not as lean a production as the original Money Game video (£500) which was totally DIY. Ren said that the cost for this video was in the £25K-£30K range but both he and the cinematographer said it should have cost 2 or 3 times that amount. You should also check out the original Money Game video which is also a one-take. It was released 4 years ago.
Thank you so much for your reaction here. Your insights and perspective (your specificity) helps all of us* understand more of what Ren did (increasing universality.)
Loved your reaction. Great to see you being so moved by the cinematography as this is your speciality. It is mind-blowingly good
thanks for watching!
I've been waiting for you to do MG3 and you did not disappoint. This is a truly wonderful piece of art.
I have been waiting for your take on MG3 and I was not disappointed. Thanks for taking time to do this reaction.
absolutely! thanks for watching.
Best reaction to Money Game Part 3 I’ve seen from someone who knows and appreciates the work that went into the Video
Awesome perspective and appreciation. Thank you for your educated reaction. I was in video production. Loved this!
Fantastic reaction Jonathan. Your perspective as a film-maker gives a wonderful insight into the creative process beyond the music and lyrics. Much appreciated. All the best from the UK
thank you!
I find it so interesting that instead of just making a video just for the heck of it, Ren actually performs art with a message that makes you stop & think!
i've been waiting for this reaction actually. Fun times!
You have to watch part 1& part 2 preferably all three together to actually fully get the genuis of this video...I mean yes you obviously can see it now but it is a trilogy and also a progression of Ren as its a multi-year projuct all in all
I never understand when someone sees a "part 3" and doesn't check, or ask.
Love this reaction!! I really hope you react to The tales of Jenny and Screech! If you do, all three have to be done at once to fully appreciate the story. If you find the Full version, it has all three in one video. This story is what made everyone start calling him bard-core. His story telling in this is unbelievable!! I won't give anything away, but just notice in the third part, Ren uses the different spaces he moves through as another instrument, to change the sound of his voice. It's absolutely incredible!!
I've been waiting patiently for your reaction to this, and I'm not disappointed. You're unique perspective on the art of video production has earned you a place in my shortening list of go to reactors. Big props to Samuel Perry-Falvey who collaberated with Ren for the video. There's a great Behind the Scenes video on this production that TheWolfJohnson put together. In one of his live streams they mentioned that they had only one planned cut in this video. Right before the Rain scene because they weren't going to be able to dry it and do it all again if they needed to. Thank you for your reaction. Wonderful
Loved that bit about Eisenstein. *My* favorite author is Pratchett and he says something similar. "Sin, young man, is when you treat people like things. Including yourself. That's what sin is."
Excellent review! I love that quote “Every cut is a lie.”
🙏🙏🙏
After watching and absorbing Ren’s video, the first thing I thought was that I can’t wait to see your reaction specifically. You have a great perspective that I find not just entertaining, but informative and inspirational. Please keep doing these reaction videos.
so glad you got something out of it!
This is a wonderful reaction! Thank you for this! I hope all of the RENegades see your reaction to Money Game 3 because we all love it when we see someone else really feel the art in his work. ❤🔥
thank you!
Yup. Authentic & Real. That is why we LOVE Ren. ♥️
Great reaction.
In 3 days, it will be the 1 year anniversary of when Hi Ren premiered. It currently has over 22 million views. I think it would be really cool for all of the reactors/people to make a video for Ren, telling him what an impact he has had on us all this past year. He's changed lives.
Ren brought me here... now I have to subscribe.
Wow wow wow. Your reaction was so moving. You truely appreciated the art of Sam and Ren.
Simply stunning! Loved your reaction and inisights. Peace friend.
My understanding is one cut ... behind the wheelchair as he had only one suit so could only get it wet once, so cut behind the wheelchair to set up the water and then continued
Thrilled with your analysis and commentary.
I have watched this piece of art so many times and I still catch something else.
Pure genius! Musically, lyrically, and filmmaking
With disability, pain and exhaustion sometimes there is only that one go or two and thats it. You have to do it in that small breath of space. Makes his videos amazing in a different way.
He said the one and only cut is when he’s wheel in front of the string players just before the rain scene. When the camera goes behind him and you see black for a second.
It was necessary as he only had the 1 suit so that part had to be a one shot of its own cuz that’s literally all he had was that on shot, and it was brilliant AF.
As always Jonathan, an artist reacting to art, with insights that few of us could muster. Thank you.
I absolutely love your reactions to Ren videos and this did not disappoint at all. Thank you so much.
I really enjoyed your reaction. You gave a very different perspective of the video which I appreciate.
I can’t believe it! I just discovered REN and now you’re talking about it…. 8 months ago? I’m a Kenndey supporter so yay! 😀 great minds in all!
I've never watched reaction videos until Ren came along and changed the game, and I was actually searching for yours after your excellent Hi Ren reaction. Love to hear your insigths. Two things - I'm surprised you didn't spot the one cut that they deliberately made. Also, I recommend watching the BTS (again not normally my thing) - some fascinating detail, e.g. Ren has to switch out the mag on the gun for legal reasons. That's why they zoom in on his face and you can just about see him passing it behind him to someone who hands him the dummy.
I just ripped through all your Ren reactions. What a treat to have someone with your expertise react to his art. Subscribed 👍
I really like your genuine way of reacting and explaining how it feels to see those videos through your eyes and with your professional knowledge.
Frist time I saw Money Game Pt.3, I was like, man I can not wait for Jonathan to anaylse this masterpiece, because I knew you were going to love every little detail about it! And your reaction did not disappoint at all! One can truly see it in your eyes how much you were moved by every second of those 9 minutes. Love it!
Ren is just an other kind of beast, doing all the things he does on such a high level with such talented people around him.
So many more people should see this and cherish that raw multimedia mastermind!
A stunning piece of theatre. The fact that he raps over a piano blows my mind. So damn clever.
Fantastic review, thank you 💕
At 12:10 ... that was slick how he switched the real bullets and clip! He explains and shows how its done in his behind the scenes!!!
There was the one cut when he was in the wheel chair
Ren's videos are the only music videos I've ever seen that get better and better with re-watches.
That was a brilliant reaction, great to see you so invested in every frame. Sam and the whole team deserve props too. I'm off to watch your Hi Ren reaction now! 🖤
thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
Holy Mackerel, I was so excited to see your reaction pop up! I knew it would be special. As always, you did not disappoint. Money game 1 is another one take video, you should definitely check out! Wait… Have you not done Jenny/Screech/Violets Tale yet?!?!?! Oh man, you will love them all!!
i have probably watch the video 50 times and then again with every reactor i love your emotion i cry every time
"The story of separation - when we see the world competitive agents in a world devouring machine." - I hate this and Love it framing truth... i read somewhere in the react-averse that the only cut was behind the wheelchair before the strings came in... something about having the lapel mic waterproof. this man is amazing as are the people he works w. these productions don't fall from the sky. we need more back of scenes vids!
Fully articulate analysis that honors the work. This is a rare treat.
This video is a piece of art and can see why Ren, Sam and the team feel it is their best piece, to date. The strings, the keys, the visuals…..the string section, particularly, gives me goosebumps every time. Great reaction.
Its amazing that we have so many different people reacting to Ren´s Art. Each and every one adds a different POV/Angle. Thanks for yours! Cheers mate.
glad to see you again my friend :D thanks for the insight
Thoroughly enjoyed your reaction...always do. As others mentioned here, although it is Ren's creation and is the producer and director, the director of photography is the brilliant Samuel Perry Falvey (who also filmed Hi Ren and other Ren videos) And there WAS the one cut back of the wheelchair for reasons again outlined here....the placement of his mic and the fact that that final scene had to be perfect as they only had the one chance at it. And of course it was pretty much perfect.
A new UK 🇬🇧 sub THANKYOU the Brits are super proud of him xx👍🩷💙🇬🇧🇺🇸
Absolutely amazing reaction. Just so insightful! I have one question if you read this. I had heard that there was one cut in the shot. After he sits in the wheelchair for the first time the camera moves around to behind his back and the screen goes completely black for a split second. It seems continuous it apparently there was a cut to prepare for the rain shot since they only had one chance to get that. What do you think?
I love your style of explanation, you get REN’s vision and story telling and interpret it so well. I came for the technical understanding and I got that & more. Thank you 😊
I knew that you would love this one.
Wonderful reaction.
I thoroughly enjoyed hearing all of your insights.
Ren said that they were trying to blur the lines between music and film with this one.
They CERTAINLY did.
This was all done with one shot and a camera man with a body harness and a well-planned set. It was amazing with the behind-the-scenes video.
I really enjoyed this “film maker” perspective in this reaction. You really show a different side of how to view what Ren has done and I absolutely love it! Well done Sir
I’m so glad you got to this one. It left me inside my head for the better part of the day. You’ve said some really profound things I had t thought of -thank you for sharing your insight with us.
I so appreciate your ability to eloquently share your expertise to help me have deeper understanding of why I find the video impactful.
YES! Haven’t watched yet, but I wanted to drop a quick comment that I’ve been waiting for your reaction/ analysis and glad it’s finally posted!!!
What an excellent commentary from someone who absolutely knows the film business, analyses and recognises the art that Ren and Sam bring to our screens. Thank you.
I'm so so happy you've reacted to this. As soon as I saw the piano reflection shot for the 1st time I had to check if you had covered this video & have patiently waited since.
There is 1 cut in the whole piece. When the camera goes behind the wheelchair. It's incredible that they as a collective only had to take 1 cut {for logistical reasons} to pull the whole thing off.
I thought that there was one when he takes the bag off but after a LOT of re-watches I think he just whips it down with his wrist then rebounds his arm up, cause the placement of his when it becomes visible again always looked off.
A 1 shot video that I love is Joyner Lucas ADHD, because he put up a video showing a birds eye view of how all the choreo came together.
Be really interested in your reaction to the 'making of" footage for this one :)
You should watch money game 1 &2 if you haven. Not as cinematic, but it makes you appreciate 3 all the more because of how he sets each up. The first is more of an "all of us" in the game, second is how the game is played on the macro scale, and this one (as said in this reaction) shows all of us again through one character. Perfectly
7:30 PLEASE! Do NOT feel hesitant to pause! You are no ordinary reactor... I learn so much in many of your videos! Sometimes it's things I already know but never noticed or something brand new; maybe even something that I wasn't able to articulate. However, the things you say are so spot on and well said (plus you add the cut in videos they are GREAT!) that you can feel the truth in it. It is very powerful! We love hearing from you brother! Thanks for the video. Ren is the best!
7:55 Ren has called what he and Sam do a dance in an interview. As far as shooting videos.
thanks so much for the feedback!
Wondetful reaction! I loved your Hi Ren reaction and always come when i see another!❤ I've gotten to know Samuel and Ren so much more since those days! Wondergul how much they have grown in confidence. This is truly a masterpiece.
Discovered your channel today and binged the whole Ren reactions. Loving your vids and your insight on the technical side. Lots of Ren videos are one-take and when they aren´t, they come clean about it, like this one: they said on interview that they had a cut on the weelchair back when it fades to black because of mic switching or something. Still migthy impressive the whole first 8 minutes and also that final part being one take. Keep up the great work, cheers.
This is the reaction that I was waiting for. Well done. As soon as the premire ended and I was completely and utterly blown away, I couldn't wait for your reaction and break down. This music video is nothing short of a masterpiece work of art. The message is incredibly important and Ren and his team deserve every bit of praise they're getting for this and the other videos. They're at the top of the mountain. By far my favorite music video of all time.
Man i've been waiting for your reaction!! Ren went crazy with this one, and as always, love the way you analize the complexity of the production, shows how many thought and planification went behind.
There's some behind the scenes ren relased, you should check them out. Much love ❤
I LOVE your insightful reactions, especially the Ren ones, I learn aa lot. This is pure genius. Think there might be one edit though when the shot goes round the back of the wheelchair and you get a frame of black. They used these hidden edits in Birdman. It gives time to get thee string players in place. Hoping you're done a reaction to The Tale of Jenny and Screech (and Violet)
Such insight into the process and this gift of seeing you acknowledge that you felt it as deeply as we did.
thank you! he is a treasure.
Aren’t they just amazing - great reaction thank you 😍 Ren pulls us in so much we miss the (one) sneaky cut behind the wheelchair before the rain scene. The rain could only be done once bless them (time, money, only one suit, not even a towel) but they nailed it 🤩
I think the fact that the one cut in this video is so seamless that even a filmmaker can’t see it speaks volumes to the quality of work.
There is one cut when the camera goes behind the wheel chair. I have heard it took 5 takes to nail the first section, and 15 for the second. I think that’s mostly likely to the fact it had to be perfect up until the rain started and they would started over if it wasn’t, because you only get one shot at it. Once he is wet you can’t do a retake.
It’s a beautiful piece of art. A cinematic masterpiece.
Rain, rain, rain....
Beautifully portrayed and a visual/audio continuation of the same verse sung in money game 1 and 2...
You are just a wordsmith. But you saying "When art truly transcends the spiritual realm" hit me. The quote by itself feels trippy and esoteric but it's how I feel as well when I watch Ren's stuff. Perfectly put... I am just in awe every time at what Ren does. I've seen Money Game pt.3 a billion times and hearing your director/filmmaker take was so fun.
