    This is the reason why I watch so many Ren reactions. The ones I really love are when the reactor has a particular area of expertise, and they analyse the song/piece from their own perspective, sharing their specific insights. I love that because it allows us, the viewer, to get a fully rounded view (and to appreciate all the subtleties of Ren's brilliance which we might have missed). Great reaction. Thank you !

    • @bitzibaerlie
      @bitzibaerlie 7 месяцев назад +1

      Yes. It is easy for a layman like myself to appreciate a one take video but this reaction impressively pointed out a lot of techniques that went into this. Makes me appreciate the art all the more.

    @coleeg69 Год назад +87

    We need a Jenny and Screech trilogy reaction. Start with Jenny's Tale, Screech's Tale, then finish it up with Violets Tale.. those will hit hard. Ren is Pure talent, what music should be.... all of his raw one take videos are crazy good. Use of his guitar as sound effect are nuts. Hopefully you react to The 3 Tales.
    Also love the videos man. Your take on visuals are excellent. Rens videos are something else.
    Money Game part 1 is really good too... it's crazy how Ren paints a clear visual of what's going on with so little.

    • @hannahday1001
      @hannahday1001 Год назад +18

      I totally agree!!! To avoid confusion of the order of the trilogy, I suggest watching the 13min32s video on his channel titled "'Ren - The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full)" - this has all 3 videos, in the CORRECT order!! I've seen a few reactors watch them out of order / not put them together correctly. So should definitely be watched in order, all in ONE sitting to have the full impact for sure. The one take nature of each of these tales really makes the camera work so much more impressive!

    They filmed this in an old Argos store and pretty sketchy. Homeless people trying to steal props or camera equipment.
    The transition is so good!
    Samuel Perry-Falvey did a great job.
    Ren's up for an awards in Prague.
    Best newcomer, best low budget video for Hi Ren.
    Simple videos with great impact!

  • @sebastiank.3894

    You really need to get to the Trilogy of "Jenny's tale", "Sceech's tale", and "Violet's tale". They are all done each in a single shot with amazing use of the environments in the sound design and the storytelling of the songs and the videos is phenomenal.

  • @DanielStaff_
    @DanielStaff_ Год назад +15

    Dont forget to do the tale of jenny and screech (full version) by Ren. some of the best story telling out there which I'm sure you will appreciate as a film maker. it is 3 songs in one but its very much worth it!

    Whoever is doing Ren's videos is a genius at utilising the minimum equipment to the maximum effect. It's amazing what can be done with some forward planning and a sense of what you want to achieve. I oscillate between wonder at Ren's music and the videographer's skill.

    Don't know if you noticed the lighting on his face change after saying the line "Travel to the corner of my cornea and mind
    Look for all the answers that I never seem to find", face in shadow to fully lit with a focus on his eyes. Very clever. Also, when reacting to his other videos look for his acting, often planned so well he's acting with his environment and his lyrics at the same time.

    I would also like to pitch "The Tales of Jenny and Screech" (full 13 minute version). The cinematography is one take, on location, handheld, LIVE PERFORMANCE, and very very simple but also flipping brilliant storytelling. There are a few camera POV moments that are frankly mindbending. Perfect stripped down, raw synthesis of videographer and musician.
    (Not to oversell it or anything.) 😂

    Loved your insights, I left your video understanding much more about the video here than I came in with. I thought you might be interested in this: there is a 2 hour interview video (remote call) on RUclips and Ren said that he doesn't see himself doing music videos into his fifties or sixties. He said one thing he would like to try is producing an anthology series along the lines of Black Mirror or Love and Robots (Netflix). Personally, I think the man could do anything in visual or musical arts that he wants to, and do it very well.

All 3 parts are one-takes, and talk about a masterclass in timing, videography, and utilization of scene(s)!
    NOTE: It's another long one like 'Hi Ren', and Ren works his magic again to get into the feels, but please do it all together as one piece. You'll understand when you see it why.

    Mister Jonathan Hiller, you HAVE to react to his new video Animal Flow. His ENTIRE video was shot in ONE shot, and there is QUITE a lot to digest from the scene that he sets. It may not be a majestical piece of editing, filmmaking wise, but the video is pure art. There's a lot of small details in the background that you might be able to pick up on.
