    As a hardcore NF fan and a filmmaker myself I enjoy watching these videos and seeing someone give Nate the appreciation he deserves for all the work he puts into his music videos!

      @ReneidKlein The Follow the Leader album has chained music videos. They're all impactful by themselves, but they really work by leading in to each other.

    The crowd was really fans, I was one of them. Got to see Nate in his element. He has a lot of input on the video making process. He was not thrilled about having to have fake sweat put on lol. But the cheering was us really cheering. Patrick wanted to add a fake cheering track to amplify it but Nate was not a fan so he said he really needed us to cheer like we do at his shows so it can be authentic. And not in a demanding way but more like pleSe can you help me make this happen. It was so fun seeing him shoot the transition at the end too!

      How many Nf fans on here have a hard copy of moments album he was handing out in car in this video? Bought mine off him in 2010 for 10 bucks in highschool.

    I was there at the concert type scene. It literally took about 2-3 hours to just shoot that small little part. I loved every bit of it and NF is actually pretty funny. Was shot in Nashville, Tennessee

    @pinkham_productions 2 года назад +107

    The "orders" at 3:25 were clues about the next album release.
    The use of the music box sounds throughout just give it depth when Tommee drops those bass hits!

  • @JustinBarney-rh3xq
    @JustinBarney-rh3xq 2 года назад +41

    BTW, the food ticket NF grabbed said "TIME 7/12/19 MIDNIGHT EASETERN": A hint at the next song that he was dropping. Another tid bit, the crowd for the final scene was an invitation to fans to attend and be a part of the music video (awesome to see how much he appreciates and puts out for his fans)

    • @amberf2545
      @amberf2545 2 года назад

      There’s also another invitation for his fans to be apart of another video! 👀🖤 Nashville TN week of the 26th! Wish I could go…it’s awesome that he includes the fans in this way!

    After watching your videos, you are my favorite reaction channel. It's genuine. When you get excited it feels like you really get the chills down your spine and that's what I look for in reaction channels. Keep being awesome and you will leave your presence on RUclips.

  • @Horrble-pg1so
    @Horrble-pg1so 2 года назад +1

    I think you will appreciate this. the receipt he grabs at 3 minutes and 26 seconds of your video says "Time 7/12/19 Midnight Easter" which is the exact time that the song "Time" was released. and in the back seat the dude holding the CD titled Moments was a call back to an old record of his

  • @zeleniatdq

    • @sownpeace
      @sownpeace 8 месяцев назад

      Dang, didn't catch that. ha, funny. And he might not have been that - in other circumstances - but he would still be doing something big. He is a genius with strong work ethic, talent, and humor.

    NF is amazing his songs are like art. I can’t believe I never heard of him until last year (2021) so sad but still his music is amazing. Totally deserves an Oscar for his music videos

  • @all4myaden

    @lizmercer3287 Год назад +1

    Just discovered your channel. I absolutely love your clinical analysis. It’s a breath of fresh air. Please continue. Your behind the camera expertise adds something, I don’t know, extra, to the reaction/review. I’ll edit this comment when I have a better description. My dad was the crime scene photographer for San Bernardino in the 70’s and early 80’s. We had a dark room in the garage. You have an eloquent way of explaining backlighting, tones, ASA etc. Quite different and more entertaining than other creators on the platform.

    So glad you took my recommendation! I knew you'd like those transitions and cinematography! May I recommend another video, but this time a band called Fleshgod Apocalypse, their music video for The Violation. Its a heavy song so something different, but the cinematography in it is amazing and tells a story much like NF's videos do

  • @ImaCatMaia
    @ImaCatMaia 2 года назад +6

    His production is so underrated and overlooked. He was just snubbed at the Grammys yet again!
    I'd be super interested to see what you have to teach us from his music video for "Outcast", puhleeese...? 😁
    "I Just Wanna Know" would be a good choice as well - you'll see that his acting abilities are next level!

    Loving the reaction and analysis! Just binged all your NF reactions, and it's really interesting to see what a filmmaker can say about these shots from the professional perspective. Also a new song by NF just dropped today and the MV is just unreal, definitely should check that out, would love to see you analyze it!
