I was challenged by @walterooski to react to the song 'Hi Ren'
This is the first reaction video Ive ever made, so I feel a little awkward! But I'm also not one to back out of a challenge, so here we go!

Subscribed for Ren. Thank you for the great analysis.
Yep, it's a live, single take recording! One of the many things that Ren is renowned for! :)
@@Codex7777 Im starting to realise this!
4 takes. Monologue was from the 3rd. All were live and full pulls. Looks like the room was pretty cold too. You can see some of the difference between them since his mic was slipping and had to be taped up at one point.
@@fshalor738 You're confusing 2 different things...
You talked over some of the best lines, unfortunately, especially towards the end. It's always best to pause, with a rewind, if you have something to say. As I said, that way you don't miss anything and believe me, when it's Ren, you don't want to miss anything.
I enjoyed your reaction btw! You're a natural! :)
@Codex7777 I'll be sure to do the rewind thing for the next reaction! It is a lot to take in for a 1st time watch, I watched it again after I made the reaction video, and damn there were a lot of things that just flew by me haha!
Agree.🎶❤️✌🏻
I won't return if you are going to talk through his stuff . Ren is back in Canada . He had a huge relapse of his health. Misdiagnosed with Lymes Disease x 10 years. He seemed improved and returned to tbe UK. A month ago he started getting sick again. Please send up good vibes and prayers. If you talk through it how can you watch and listen to it? Sigh. It's truth. One takes on these live shots.
Lymes disease attacks the brain and body. He is explaining his health. This is true !! You need to listen especially when you are new to Ren
finally crawled back far enough to catch where it started! So happy you are taking this journey! Thanks @walterooski for the nudge!
Thanks Kylene for going through the catalogue!
RENegade here from South Africa too. Hi Ren changes everyone that hears it. ❤
I watched it twice after making the video and there are so many things that slip by on the 1st watch. Great piece of art!
@@wynandfouriemusic Ren never wastes a single word.
Most of the video is from take 3 too. There's only a couple of inserts from the other takes. All the close-ups are from take 3. The audio is entirely single take, from take 3. :)
I absolutely agree with you about Bo Burnham. I found Ren after going down the Bo rabbit hole and omg the similarities in self awareness with these two artists. Ren has also said he loves Bo Burnham and has been inspired by some of his works
That's awesome. Ill be honest I wasnt a big fan of Bo's earlier stuff, but then I saw Inside and it's like something 'clicked'
Happy to see that Ren will get more exposure with another South African reactor! Brace yourself - the Ren rabbit hole is deep. ☮❤Cape Town
Very keen to share my exploration of this artist with UA-cam
I love the way he never plays the last notes of a song. It's maybe paying homage to the fact that it's always ongoing or life is unfinished.
That's interesting, I wonder if it's intentional!
@@wynandfouriemusic (almost) Every single thing Ren does is intentional.
@@payntpot7623This is very true. Even serendipity seems intentional. See Halftime crosswalk scene. 😂
@@wynandfouriemusic Pretty sure it's intentional on this video. He ends on a non-resolving chord to make sure you sense (without looking at the video runtime) that there is something more to come, i.e. the monologue.
@sootikins really cool stuff!
I've become a Ren reaction junkie. The more you listen, the more you understand Ren, the more you appreciate his art.
Me too! 😂
Another one here 😜❤
Welcome to Ren,enjoy the ride,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
@boxicuk1620 Been very enjoyable so far!
Its a one take... Multiple cameras used... but it was performed from beginning to end no stops! He is the king of the one takes..
Welcome to the never ending journey of Ren. Twists and turns with surprises everywhere.
Great reaction, thank you.
Subbed.
Thanks for the sub!
This is just the tip of the iceberg with Ren. Many of us will come along on your journey should you react to more of Ren's music, and now we can also check out your music as well. I recommend going back to his busking days with The Big Push and Sam Tomkins and then moving forward to his current music. He's an independent artist, a man with a positive message/advocate of mental health and the restructuring of health care in general, and an open resistor to greed running the world. He's super intelligent, kind, and plays many instruments, sings, and raps. Here's to hoping to see more of you reacting to Ren from Washington state, USA.
Awesome thanks! I'm definitely gonna be going deep with Ren's music, I also want to start reacting to things outside the reniverse, any suggestions?
@wynandfouriemusic , What style of music are you interested in hearing?
@elisazaccheo3270 Id like to get into some hip hop! It's quite a new love ive developed and need some suggestions
🫡 Renegade reporting for duty! So glad you got to experience this journey of a song! Buckle up... The Ren rabbit hole is deep, bumpy and you never quite know what to expect! Subbed for more Ren!
@@saragates2255 I also reacted to The Tale of Jenny and Screech, I was honestly blown away
The audio is one take, while the video footage is from the 4 takes they made. I believe the audio was take 3? Anywho 💙 keep stepping forwards.
Here is a comment of SamuelPerryFalvey (friend of Ren and cinematographer for this video, 03.02.2023, channel of Jonathan Hiller):
"it's done as a live
session so sound recorded live and from
three cameras but look at the close up for
the end as would of been in the wide shot
therwise that we cut to. it's a separate take
all still live but so it's from two takes. Also
the fact there are cuts makes it not a one
take at all."
@ryanclarke4482 Okay that makes sense! Damn impressive
72yo Aussie Ren-egade here. Thanks, Walter, for suggesting Hi Ren. I always learn a little more about Ren's artistry and methodology from each reaction I see. Nothing is accidental, everything has a place in his story. And I love that he is using his considerable outreach to amplify awareness of Lyme Disease.
Welcome to Ren! Subscribed for Walter. Can't wait for you to delve deeper into the Remiverse!
@@belinda35 Dove in the tale of Jenny and Screech today! Video uploading as we speak!
@wynandfouriemusic I will absolutely check it out. Can't wait!
I'm a Ren fan who has literally watched hundreds of reactions to Ren's videos over the last 2 years. I just found your channel tonight, and I've watched all your Ren reactions. I enjoy your reactions and I appreciate your insights into making music. Thanks for supporting our guy Ren and would like to see you react to more Ren, as long as you enjoy doing it.
@Thomas.Saunders Awesome, Im glad you enjoy it! Im living the journey, so definitely more to come, like, A LOT MORE haha
I think he performed 4 full live takes from start to end, different camera angles, and then just stitched the best video parts from all the takes together.
There are videos of him performing this song at live shows on stage as well 😊.
Subscribing for some more Ren reactions 😊.
@@Steven90108Runs Ill have to check it out!
You're right. He did exactly that. One audio take and four different videos takes edited together. He talks about this in his interview on the channel The Charismatic Voice.
I think they intended to do a genuine Onetake but could not because they where kicked out of the location for guerilla shooting without permission
@@kujobeatdown That's pretty badass
@@wynandfouriemusic Ren says his motto as far as shooting/singing locations is he rather asks for forgiveness than permission. 🤣
Suscribed for your Ren's Journey. Thanks for the vídeo. Of curse checking your personal stuff here.
I really appreciate that!
Im 62 and this young man has quickly become the most important artist of my lifetime new sub welcome to the renerverse i someone asks what genre is Ren the answer is yes uk😊
Wow! I've been avoiding watching his videos for the last 2 days because i want to record a genuine blind reaction, and it's been tough avoiding it! I'll be filming my real reactions very soon!
Wow! I see your exact same comment everywhere
👏👏 Your 1st reaction video and you did it to "Hi Ren " thank you Walter for suggesting this to him and the world of Ren👌👌. I haven't seen an artist like Ren in decades to have an impact on people .The song will go down in history. Look forward to more of your reactions 💕💕
Me too! Haha
Arrived due to Walterooski, stayed for your Reactions to Ren. Flow with it my new friend! Spin that Wheel!
9:35 nailed it. Great reaction to a great artist. Liked and subscribed.
@ChrisLawton66 Thanks for the sub! I love a good one take! But in this case, the multiple angles work really well to differentiate the 2 characters, and the hand-held angle was so well planned
@wynandfouriemusic well, Ren has several brilliant one shot videos. He seems to love that challenge.
Great reaction, subbed for more Ren, please.
Money game part 1 2 and 3 are awesome. 🕊🎶
@mogsydog More Ren on it's way!
🔥🔥🔥
Holy ssshhhttt
More Ren please...
Salute from Indonesia
I don't have a choice now! I'll have to start my reaction career!
If you rewind a little, after pausing, you won't miss anything. :)
@@Codex7777 Good notes!
@@wynandfouriemusic Dunno if anyone else already mentioned, but you can use the J key to go back 10 seconds in the vid when ya pause :) subbing for more Ren (will check out your own music too :) )
@CyntaxEraNZ aweome thanks for the tip will use it in the next video! Be sure to check out my tale of J & S reaction 😁. Learnt my lesson with this one
@@wynandfouriemusic just doing that now! :) thanks for the genuine reactions :)
algo probably showed me your reaction, cuz i watched walters really often haha
keep up the good work, renegades have arrived for you dont worrie ;)
Thank you Walter! And thank you whomever suggested you on the ren rabbit hole site! Excited to see your journey from the relative beginning! Keep going man! It just gets better and better! Got my sub! 🙋🏻♀️
Welcome aboard!
Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole . Since stumbling upon his music some four or five months ago , I’ve been captivated and have not been able to stop listening. Ren is a genius that has connected with millions who can relate . The renegades will fill you in with all you need to know.
He can do everything and fits into no one genre. It’s going to blow your mind.
Watching reactors like you gives us a chance to relive the moment of hearing these songs for the very first time.
For singing check out -
Murderer live
Fred again
Chalk outlines
How to be me
MC sessions blind eyed
And his band the big push red suspender series “I shot the sheriff”
For rap -

Animal flow
For anti greed -
Money Game 1,2 and 3
Story telling - take of Jenny and screech full including violets tale
Suicide
Masochist
There are so many !!!🤪
But money game 1,2 and 3 in a row will blow your mind. He’s won awards for that series.
He just did a couple recent ones - money ties and kujo beat down .
Look for his 30 minute video explaining the huge debacle between Kujo and himself.
He goes off in the Kujo beat down. He lets the dark side out , which we rarely if ever get to see .
Cheers from 🇨🇦🍻
I've created a Renlette wheel where I put all the suggestions from the comments and spin it to watch a random Ren video, go check out the Renlette wheel episodes! I think all of these are on the wheel already! Thanks for your support
@ thanks man, I’ll check them out 🇨🇦🙂
He would normally do 15-20 takes, but the landlord threw him out after 4, so he stitched the video together into what he calls a "Frankenstein".
@@yonahgrossman7319 That’s hilarious that the landlord threw him out!
@@wynandfouriemusicRen is more about asking for forgiveness (or pretending to be innocent) than permission 😂
@@Shiroar Rebel!haha
Another RENegade from south africa, and welcome to the REN Train. some amazing music. looking forward to see some of your work too :D
Thanks for checking it out!
Ren is the master of one takes. He’s a unicorn among goats.
Welcome to Ren, and great reaction. Subbed
@moustachiomousmousmoosedem6625 Thanks for the sub, expect more Ren reactions
He is the king the goat of one takes..
Hello from a froggy living in the heat of Bangkok (not too keen on the Rugby World Cup).
I really liked your reaction to that one and Hi Ren. As these are your first reactions, I think a little support is always nice.
I'm looking forward to the Money Game trilogy, which is even better. All the best.
Thank you! 😃
Nice one Walter for bringing a newbie to drink from the Ren rabbit hole😂 subbed to follow your journey. . And great reaction by the way 😉
@ManneyM Thanks! New reaction coming soon! Also check out my music if you don't mind🫣
I'm so happy someone made me aware of you yesterday 🤘🏼🔥⚡💜🇺🇲🇵🇷🎶
@ElsieAng456 Who was it if I may ask? You said it was on live?
I was watching a song reactor by the username Goatworthy on UA-cam Sunday afternoon in the US and during the live someone else in the chat was telling us about your Ren project and I'm hoping to get my voice back before the cutoff date because I'm at the tail end of pneumonia at the moment so I'm not sure I'll make it 😔
I'm still here for you now though regardless 🤘🏼🔥⚡💜🎶
I just saw your Hi Ren reaction, and put this journal entry of Ren's as my comment to that reaction.
~~~~~~jAN 01, 202~~rEN~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Up until I was 9 years old, I would intermittently hear a voice in my head that was not my own. The voice was distinctly different to mine, and always negative. It would self criticize or urge me to do things I knew to be morally wrong. The most peculiar thing about the voice was that it took no effort on my behalf to produce. My own thoughts always felt like there was a process that required effort to bring them to the forefront of my mind, this voice appeared as though it was spoken by another. The sentences felt predetermined like they had already been constructed.
I remember very vividly at 9 years old, becoming very frustrated with the voice. I stood in my back yard, internally screaming at the voice to be silent again and again, and it did. In a flash there was silence, to the point where my head felt like an empty room. I wasn't used to the quiet and that voice never returned. It almost felt lonely in my head.
When I got older I had intermittent bouts with auditory hallucinations where I would hear perfect symphonies, usually at night when drifting off to sleep. They were so clear that they sounded like they were emanating from a radio in the corner of my room. I knew they weren't there, but for some reason they never came with the feeling of fear. I also recall sitting on a bus at the age of 15, and hearing the sound of a crowded room, with about 100 voices chattering away, I was the only person apart from the driver on the bus.
These experiences were always very brief, and few and far between.
My last hallucination was during an intense bout of psychosis in 2015, and was my first visual hallucination. I was walking down a pavement after jumping out my mums car in a crossroads in a moment of frustration and distress with my condition. I was trying to run from myself. What appeared to be a homeless man with a dark complexion approached me, and asked me what was wrong. I explained that I had been sick most my life, and I wasn't sure I had the strength to continue. He looked at me, and smiled and told me 'everything is going to be okay in the end Ren.' I had not told him my name. There was something so overpoweringly sincere about this very simple message, which brought with it an overwhelming feeling of inner peace, and in a flash, he vanished.
My rational brain always linked these experiences to what the doctors have told me, that there are parts of my brain compromised by the autoimmunity in my body. That the myelin sheaths surrounding the complex electrical system that conduct my thoughts were damaged and compromised, causing these lucid experiences that I knew did not exist inside the physical world.
The part of me that edges away from logical and rational thought always attributed these thoughts to some kind of otherworldly intervention, that made my thoughts the battleground of some spiritual tug of war.
For a long time I never really acknowledged this part of myself, for with it brought the danger and stigma of sounding like a crazy person.
I decided with my latest release, to the best of my ability, to capture and express this chess match of thought.
Hi Ren comes out in just over 24 hours.
I can't wait for you all to hear it.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~MY WORDS."I just saw your Hi Ren reaction, and put this journal entry of Ren's as my comment to that reaction."...ALL REN....FROM THIS POINT ON...jAN 01, 2024~~rEN~~~~~~~As an artist who also struggles w/my health I think that Ren's
Thank you for sharing!
Ren is art.
@miscelany2 a true Renaissance man!
Welcome to Ren's world - great reaction 😊 New subscriber from Australia
@@leanneoneill5803 Thanks for the sub! New reaction coming today🥰
@leanneoneill5803 The music scene in Australia is amazing! Im very jelly haha
To show you this man’s versatility, I’ll make a few suggestions - each one will be a COMPLETE 180° from the next:
- Ready For You
- Crutch
- Down On The Beat (lyric video version)
- The Tale Of Jenny & Screech ( the long 13 minute version, with Violet’s Tale in the end, since it’s a trilogy and it won’t make sense of you don’t watch them in order).
- Back on 74/Message In A Bottle Retake
- Halftime, Nas Retake
Enjoy!
EDIT: He mostly writes and produces his own music (multi instrumentalist) and directs his own videos.
I’d like to approach it from the other direction and refer to either The Big Push (his band known for busking and doing covers that are too cool and live) or his collabs with Chinchilla. Of the solo stuff, I’d say The Tales of Violet, Jenny and Screech should not be ignored!
See what most people suggest. It’d be tough to go wrong should you choose to react again.
@ Like you said, it would be tough to go wrong. Have you listened to Swan Song BTW?
@@darkmatter6714got a reaction to it haha
You should definitely check out Wynand’s music in this channel though if you haven’t! So so sweet and all self made and produced from his bedroom!
@darkmatter6714 Thanks for sharing! Looks like ill be doing a deep dive tonight!
Hey... Musically, Ren is very good. A great example is Back on 74/Message in a bottle retake. If you listen to the 2 original songs then hear how he melds them into something so silky. A soulful track from him quite different, but then he does pretty much all genres.
@nada-8-4-2 I'll be sharing my Ren discovery journey with UA-cam so be sure to keep an eye out! Will definitely check out these tracks
❤❤❤
subbed in hopes of more Ren
Generational Talent
@@majbrat Another video is coming today!
Walterooski is a cool guy. He has an encyclopaedic knowledge of music….if he is rating your music, you are doing something right.
@nm44Sergie I've watched a couple of his reactions now, and Im amazed with the insights he has!
Welcome to the wonderful world of ren, where you can always expect the unexpected 😊 💜💜
So true!
Welcome to the multitalented genius Ren! ❤️ This masterpiece is just the tip of the iceberg. Ren is a relatable voice for everyone dancing in the darkness as he eloquently, with all the authenticity of someone who is painfully familiar with it, lets us know that we are not alone and inspires us to keep dancing. And in doing so, Ren has literally saved lives with his art.
Other Renegades will probably recommend songs like Sick Boi and Troubles for insight into his story with illness and years of misdiagnosis. I will just add a suggestion to check out one of my personal favourites that doesn’t get nearly as much attention as it deserves: Crutch feat. Bibi. It’s an older song from before Ren was finally correctly diagnosed with Lyme disease and was written after a breakdown following multiple emergency trips to the hospital. It is heart wrenching and stunning.
And a little help to guide you on your journey: While I’m sure plenty of people will tell you to react to the trilogy of tales in the correct order, it is often overlooked that there are a few other songs best done in order of release (though doesn’t have to be in one sitting): Freckled Angels -> Suic!de -> For Joe.
Also if you want to understand the man behind the art (and why we all love him so dearly), check out his 1m subscribers video on defining success. Ren is not just a brilliant artist but a genuinely good human being who wants to inspire positive change in the world.
Hope to see you deep down the Ren rabbit hole with the rest of us 🐰🕳️
Welcome to the most versatile artist since Prince.
This is what Sinead O’Connor posted after watching this:
“Holy motherfuckin SHIT! Someone just showed me this at the weekend. This Archangel from like, twelfth heaven or somewhere, has only gone and made the entire history of songwriting and performing look like a three year old's
birthday party at Burger King.”
Haha that's awesome!
She followed up by saying : "Every song and or artist in history even Willie Dixon, Chuck Berry, The Beatles, NWA, Ice Cube, and even Bob Dylan, is officially relegated to class B. As are every actor in history or legend: living or dead, male or female. We all are now defunct." She clearly thought a lot of Ren and this piece of art.
Ren is awesome
Ren is the GOAT!! Keep reacting!!! Ren is the best!!!
WELCOME ABOARD THE RENAGADE EXPRESS 🚂🚂🚂
Choo choo here we go!
Great reaction - really the first time? Impressive🌻
Welcome to your life after listen to Ren the first time 😄 Subbed for more ❤
@SaBabiko Thanks for subbing, be sure to check out my reaction to the tale of Jenny and Screech😁
Loved your reaction 👏👏
Thank you!! 😁
I suggest Sick Boi, Chalk Outlines Live w/ chinchilla. It is an amazing journey and Ren will keep surprising you! Genius level talent imo! I’m here for it!
Me too!
Enjoyed your reaction. Looking forward to you doing more ren. If I can make a request, can you make your screen bigger so we can see you better? The best part about watching ren reactions is to see the facial expressions on the people watching, and you were just too little to make out..
Copy that! This was my 1st reaction video and I'm learning as I go! this is a really good note, thanks!
@wynandfouriemusic no worries. You're about to get a bunch of new watchers and subscribers if you keep doing ren reactions. Sick boi, chalk outlines and tale of Jenny and screech (combined 3 parts), plus money game 1,2 and 3 are essential viewing
Great job Walterooski!! I SEE YOU!!!! Subbed for more Ren!!!
Awesome! Thank you! More Ren to come!
Great video, hope to see more reactions and music in the future. Wait until you fall into the rabbit hole thats is King Gizzard like Walter did
I had never heard of them before. They've since become my all-time favorite band. Gizz hooks deep to the musically minded, homie.
@@walterooskiSame, been completely obsessed with them since 2021 and just tryyyyying to figure out how I can go to their 3 day festival in August 2025 😩 I wanna go so bad!
Ill be honest, I've listened to them but never really got hooked deep, I'll have to give it another shot!
@@wynandfouriemusic Start with Butterfly 3000 and KGLW
Yes live….. see the Mike. Ren is music!!!! ❤ Ren is self taught watching UA-cam videos…. He is an absolutely prodigy!!!!❤
Yes I noticed the mike a bit later, very impressive stuff!
Came for the Ren reaction, subbed for more Ren and also your music.
I wonder if we're entering the era of Independent Artists?
@@ceciliablackburn2827 Definitely! Platforms like UA-cam and spotify have made it possible for independent artists to reach a massive fan base (Im still working on mine, but Im glad to have you on board for the journey!)
Good start bro
Thanks!
Yes 3 cameras (l,r and handheld) they did 6 or so takes and used the footage from the best take. He is kind of known for using the best take, rather than editing between takes.
Absolutely fascinating.
You definitely took the challenge well! Nice job. Prepare for the requests to do more Ren songs . Lol
The RENegades are passionate!
@wynandfouriemusic not sure what you have learned about ren but he has shared alot about his mental health in his music and alot of people connect with it.
If you are up for another Ren song, check out chalk outlines live. Its Ren and another independent artist named Chinchilla. The song is beautiful and moving. Well worth a listen. It's a live one take as well.
ua-cam.com/video/35yALr_opeg/v-deo.htmlsi=z0g0bqifFKPCXwpw
Oh and yes Hi Ren was a one take. There were 4 cameras in the room but it was live. It took 4 takes to get it right. Which is crazy because some of his other one takes took over 100 takes to get it right.
Yes, it is a one take poetry in motion.
@SonjainAfrica As a musician / director myself, I really admire the precision of this man's art and poetry!
New Sub here can’t wait to go down the REN rabbit 🐇 hole with ya! 😊
Welcome aboard!
This was a one take video with multiple cameras and angles. Ren is known for his one take videos.
🔥
Walter! That’s my dood!!
The best dood!
Welcome to the world of Ren he is just so amazing😊enjoy the journey.Sub for more Ren thanks appreciate you👍
🔥❤️✌️
Now you must dig into his life,so you know were he come from,i mean his history,he comes from Wales and is a geni,i am 68 year women from sweden,and hes My idol❤
Im gonna do some reading before I jump into the next reaction!
Nice observations.
@MikeyMike2503 Thanks, I definitely realised how much I missed on the second time I watched it
He has given voice to many.
I'm starting to see this now!
Very nice reaction to Ren. I think the more times you watch it, the more you will catch. This is a very fast tempo, when he gets going. Subscribing. Thanks.
So I wanted to know something about you before watching your reaction to Ren. I'm still tripping over your Let Me Get Over You video I just watched. Wow! Would love to see a video of how that was made. You asked for other suggestions of other artists. I'm an American living in Europe and I might suggest a few that never get reacted to (that are much lighter than this): Die Prinzen---maybe starting with Be Cool Speak Deutsch (or an earlier one: Deutschland); Cara Emerald, a Dutch singer---maybe her live performance A Night Like This @ Sziget 2012; and then one other French artist is also a live performance---Zaz - Je Veux | NAKED NOISE SESSION.
@CabinFever52 Thanks for these suggestions! I definitely want to check it out! I've got a lot of requests that im trying to work through, not making any money from this, so Im still balancing it with my other work. In terms of the visualizer for Let Me Get Over You, I had a subscription to Artlist and downloaded a bunch of animations from their catalogue and edited it together. The animations weren't made specifically for my song. It's just stock footage, but it's all from the same animation artist, and I liked how trippy his stuff is!
@@wynandfouriemusic , well it was definitely fun to watch and you have a great sound.
@CabinFever52 Thanks I appreciate that! Ive been working hard on crafting a unique sound and it's always good to hear that people like what I do!
Ren❤❤❤❤
I know! I'm starting to see it
It is one audio, 4 video takes. Reason is, they did not have permission to be filming in that basement, and the landlord was chasing them out, so they had to finish. They used the hand held at the end, but it was a happy accident in the end. Ren does many of his videos live, and usually pretty bare bones. Interestingly, he is also a very good producer, and mixes most of his own work.
@krikat3485 So I've heard! It's so funny that the kandlord kicked them out, little did he know what was cooking down there!
There are only 4 takes and they chose the 3rd one. Its a live performance .
So Ive heard. quite impressive I must say!
It is 100%
Personally, I put Ren on a Tim Minchin plane as far as lyrical acumen, acting and vocal dexterity, directing (and producing) skills. The overall breadth of the of his musical talents surpasses even Tim and I would think Bo, although very clever, may not have the all round genius of Ren.
Ren is Welsh.
If you want to hear Ren sing, try his mashup of *Fred Again songs or his *Back on 74/Message in a Bottle retake. (Jungle/Sting - Police).
If you want to hear his story telling, there is nothing better than his iconic Tales of Jenny and Screech (with Violet's Tale) 13 odd minute version. It needs to be viewed in one sitting in order.
I think my next one will be 'The Tales of Jenny and Screech'! It seems to be quite popular amongst the comments
It only took them 4 takes to get this.... Money Game 1 by comparison, had over 180 takes to get the one-shot format Ren is so fond of. 3 static cameras and the handheld.... the video shots are from different takes, the audio is all one...
That's so awesome! 180 takes 😮, I definitely need to react to that!
It is live...notice the lav mic on his collar and the guitar is plugged into a pack he is wearing
Yes it's quite impressive!
New sub in hopes of more Ren. Regards from USA
@nicolefagala3270 More Ren reactions are coming! Thanks for the sub❤️
Yes it's live
It's very impressive!
RENegades assemble!
I love the renegades!
@@wynandfouriemusic We are legion - and now so are you 💪🙂
Good job 😊
Thank you so much 😀
At first i also thought you would see the handheld in the wide shots. But looking at the handheld it looks like its shot with a pretty long focal lengh (you can see by watching the foreground and background being compressed) sooo i guess it might be a single shot and bareley outside of the wideview.
@scruffy3121 It looks like a wide lense actually, which means the camera guy has to be quite close, but from what I could gather from the comments, the audio is all one take and only the handheld angle is from another take
@@scruffy3121 They inly did 4 takes, very impressive!
Great reaction man and the audio is one take the video is cut from i think 4 takes
That's mind blowing honestly!
@ it is sometimes it gets frustrating the amount of talent he has 😂 if you decide to get deeper in his stuff you will find out very soon you havnt scratched the surface of his talent or creativity
This RENegade just subscribed
That's awesome thanks!
The audio AND all of the static camera footage is from the same take, while some of the hand-held footage comes from other takes, but the audio is from a single shot; so there are some of the hand-held shots where the visuals are from a different take than audio. It's an audio one-take, and about a 90% visual one-take as well.
Also, Ren says it here where took edits from the 4 takes - ua-cam.com/video/xSBwpfjhJPM/v-deo.htmlsi=tqRpRSGeVX1cgXU5&t=671
Thanks for sharing! I haven't seen any of his interviews
Subbed ❤
Thanks!
Ren is known for his one take videos. This is one take for sure.
The audio is one take. The video isn't. Ren discusses it in his interview on The Charismatic Voice channel.
It's an awesome piece of art either way!
It is one take shot from more than one camera!!!!!!!!!!!!
Live did five takes picked the best one
One thing you will know with time is Ren willnever penalize you for sharing and playing his stuff. So please just listen no talking so you can listen and we can also. Thjs is a true story same with sick boi. And chalk outlines.
This was my 1st reaction ever and I definitely learned a lot from this one, I feel like ill do this one again more as an analysis rather than a blind reaction
He's is recording it live and in one take
This is what I've heard yes, apparently the hand held shot at the end is another video take, but it's still the audio from take 3 I believe
Thanks for checking out the reaction!

You have a true calling as a reactor. You are not the first person to compare this work to Bo Burnham. Ren is an artist everyone should look into. Have fun in the rabbit-hole. Your next mission, should you chose to accept it, is to react to the "Trilogy" also called "The Tales" by Ren. "The Tales of Jenny and Screech" long version (about 13 minutes) ua-cam.com/video/TYAnqQ--KX0/v-deo.html ... have fun!
The tales were my second reaction as well!
After that though, Bongo Bong by The Big Push (Ren's band) might be a good one to get some of the heavy and serious vibes shaken and some of the happy and fun vibes on.
Wow seems I have my work cut out for me!
You're pulling me into the react game over here😅
