It's interesting that the first comment I'm coming across is about THAT breath. I've watched several reactions for this, but for some reason, that breath caught my attention this time. It makes you think he's about to speak after drawing that breath. Instead it's like, "Okay I got something to say... no wait a minute, y'all ain't ready yet."
I mean…😂 I love Ren but I love my sleep even more ! I’m a mean b*tch when someone messes with my sleep…😬 I’d be pretty pissed if I heard a guy yelling « and they call me fucking screeeeeeech!!!!! » in the streets in the middle of the night!!! 😂😂😂
I totally get those people. But also, I totally get Ren. One of the rare times where the "annoying main character" people trying to film are actually creating something amazing.
It's so amazing. He sings like screech and acts as screech. Then he acts and sings as narrator. Then he just acts as screech calling on the phone. Then he sings and acts as screech calling out the cops. Then he sings as Narrator but ACTS as screech running for Richard as Sam acts as Richard backing up. Then he sings as Narrator but acts as Richard now and Sam acts as screech... Mind Blowing..
Every time I see this trilogy, I’m blown away. The simplicity is so effective. I cannot believe how Ren can walk -talk sing -rap -hit marks -play-and act transitioning from character to narrator to character…I love this so very much.❤❤❤❤❤
I think I've watched the video easily over 100 times already and I still get chills every single time I listen to it. It just gets better everytime, he truly is a genius, he's like a modern day Shakespeare, he's just oozing with talent and he's so humble aswell.
My favorite part to watch out for is in Violets tale at 20:24 when Ren sings "she never stood a chance" and the camera pans up - what's so cool about this is that Ren sings up into the stairwell in order to change the way his voice sounds, the stairwell adds far more echo and gives an etheral sound to his voice. He's literally using the surrounding environment to change how his voice sounds. Its genius.
I keep watching it for video production tidbits. For instance, Screech’s phone call did show anger and desperation BUT I think it was also a clever device they used to reposition Ren facing down a different alley than the one he first came down. It provided the setup for REN’s BACK to be toward the camera and walking away which made it possible for Sam to approach from behind and then swing around for the epic confrontation. Very clever!!!
I'm 47 years in the film business and I lock onto the same kinds of things Joe does. So impressive that anyone would have the patience and drive to do complex one takes such as Ren does. As I understand it, there was a story in the paper of a 14yr old boy who stabbed a young prostitute to death (stabbings being a common form of assault in London), with the police saying "it's such a shame." Ren then wove the rest of the story around the murder.
@Joe E Sparks Thanks, Joe... almost 48. I started in 1975, and it's been one helluva ride. I can tell you love it, and that will guide you. All the best to you, Joe.
i never understood that tbh. jenny and screetch are twins. screetch was confirmed to be 14. so.. so wouldnt jenny also be around that age? or did i completely misunderstand the story
Рік тому+11
@@xdra7657 She was a young "night worker"(High heels and 14 years old. Walking the same streets every night). I guess she had to earn a living. Ren doesn't says it directly.
Have seen this video numerous times….it NEVER gets boring. Every time is just as captivating and good as the first time. Kudos Ren & Sam. Good times BP & Joe ✌🏻🙏🏻😊
not only is the music and the story fantastic, but the acting is top notch. plus, BIG kudos to Sam with the sly movements like when Screech “turns to face the blue lights” and Sam catches up and gets back in front of Ren. also, when Ren is talking about Jenny being nervous while walking, he looks behind like somebody was following. the little things are quite impressive.
Apart from the story, the lyrics, the acting, the cinematography and everything, I'm also blown away by how the acoustics of the different rooms fits the different parts of the song!
Loved watching your heart bursting moments in those stunning guitar pieces ❤😊 always feel like my body and soul are smiling all over watching and listening to Rens creations 😍😃
Joe, watching you so enthralled and engrossed in all that you were witnessing like you were sat in the front row of a huge theatre production for the first time was a beautiful thing to witness. I love all that you noticed and appreciated . Im so excited for Ren's Neflix series and i can see you'll be hyped for that too! Just spotted you've reacted to Animal Flow so cant wait to go watch you react to another one take Ren visual (and audible) Feast.
I love your insights on Ren's videos! I'm glad BP has turned you on to this awesome complex, talented artist. I still get choked up at the end of this one. It's a crazy emotional story and Sam's work definitely adds to the emotional aspect. How did those two ever find each other???!!! Thank god they did.
As genius as Ren is, I’m so glad to see Sam getting his due. Love his cinematography! Came here from your great reaction to Money Game with BP and subbed. Love your enthusiasm! You’re giving some of the best reactions I’ve seen!
The videography is so wonderfully choreographed. It has helped wake me up to so much of the subtle artistry that is involved. It helped me realize that part of the art is presenting what they want you to see exactly how they want you to see it without all the complexity it took to create it being visible. It is like creating the videography while trying to hide all the labor and challenges of actually doing the creation. Videography is visible art created invisibly.
Joe , i just want to say , your appreciation was a sight to behold . Any artist, such as yourself, coming away from Ren and Sam saying that he is inspired makes me excited to see where that inspiration leads. Loving you reactions/ insights . BP , thanks for sharing the wealth.
Kudos to all the videographers who make stories come alive for artists! Ren's Trilogy is a masterpiece and as shocking as the story goes, Ren manages to bring awareness about the violence in the streets of London! This time i noticed Violet's name on the foot of the bed! Your guest is on a Ren journey and its fun to watch him fall down the Ren rabbit hole along with the rest of us! Thank you for introducing another guest to Ren 😊🎉❤
Joe, I love watching you react to these songs. Its so obvious from the look on your face and the movements you make how deeply you appreciate music. It brings a smile to my heart. 🎶
This is my favorite Jenny and Screech breakdown and reaction I’ve seen. I love the production/direction part. I love all of the sides of looking at certain artists and Ren is one I love to hear other professionals talk about because even you guys excited and inspired. It will bring out the best in the future because of it and that’s good for all of us music fans ❤
Watching this from a videographer's perspective made me notice more things, too. Like, in Violet's tale, when Ren is singing about Stevie as he climbs up some stairs. How the heck did Sam climb up the stairs backwards in front of him? A detail unrelated to filming - a voice coach reactor said that "trumpet" sound at the very beginning is a vocal warmup technique. Then he coughs. So he's a bard/minstrel warming up his voice & then clearing his throat as he gets ready to perform.
Great reaction Joe. You really need to see the one shot video for Animal Flow too. The videographer is different for that one (Luke Flegg) but Ren (who was director and producer for that video) has said it's his most ambitious to date - at least until Money Game Part 3 comes out.
Black P, you should make a shirt or hat with the BP side-eye and sly grin that is given by you every time you have someone in the studio and you are introducing them to any Ren song! It's the best! Cuz you know what's coming and what they are in for and it's so much part of the reason i watch every single one of your Ren reactions! Love JoeE. I subscribed to his channel after i saw him for the first time on your channel. Thank you for introducing us to other great talent/great minds while you are introducing them to Ren! It's like a two-for-one type deal! Everyone wins!
First off, I LOVE your reaction. It's great to hear your perspective on Ren AND Sam's work. There is something that I noticed both times BP has brought someone on to warch the tales. He is all fine enjoying the music and the story. Until, Violet's Tale. If you play it back, check his demeanor. He KNOWS how the story is about to unfold. He is physically uncomfortable. This story, Violet particular hits him HARD. You distracted him twice and he was able to snap out of it. If you notice, the third time he was too tensely wound up. Foreknowledge eating at him. He even seemed upset at the end. When he did the recap. Sounds as though he will be bringing Andi Roo on to see it as well. Curious if it will continue to have this effect on him? Anyway, just something I found interesting. Ps. At leat you have two more Ren songs that you can listen to. Lol
Yes I notice that too - the change of expression on BP’s face in Violet’s tale - it almost caused me to start welling up as well. Joe is a really perceptive person - I would love to watch a movie with him - his face is a reflection of what’s on the screen .
Fantastic reaction - you guys helped me better understand the technical and musical aspects of filming. I came to this channel from P's channel. I'm a Colorado Springs guy and I wasn't aware that there is such a vibrant music community in the area. New subscriber, looking forward to more.
Been waiting for you to see this one! love your enthusiasm and passion my guy. Cant wait to see what you put out next due to the inspiration. At least thats how i always feel with music after hearing something dope AF! Haha stay good brotha!
When I play guitar I get so hyperfocused people can have whole conversations with me and none of it gets in. I can't do anything but focus on the fretboard and my picking. Ren's playing, singing, walking, acting...I'm just gobstopped every time I see him one-take his way through another masterpiece.
As a videographer myself watching you react the same way I did was really fun. I personally have not attempted a one take but believe me when I tell you I know how hard it is. Just subbed to your channel my friend and I look forward to your insight on whatever you decide to break down. peace from NYC
Ren tells the stories and the filming of the stories are all done so well i found myself looking for the bodies laying on the ground. The saddest thing about this is the fact each of these things are happening in every country at this very moment and the cycle continues
I had to come back over here after watching the live and watch it again and this story still brings me to tears because it’s so often these messed up situations due to how life so unkindly does people
This trilogy of songs reminds me yet again that Ren is a once in a lifetime, special talent. I agree we must protect (but share) him at all costs. Thanks for explaining the videography angle
Joe, loved your reaction, so impactful to see which parts of both the story/song and the videography made you clutch your chest, and which parts just had you frozen, open-mouthed and glued to the screen. There's nothing quite like that first experience! You know what I'd really like to see as well? Your thoughts on this piece after you've had plenty of time to watch it repeatedly, pause and rewind and study it to your heart's content. If that's something you would enjoy doing, I would HAPPILY watch a long video of you analyzing every choice Ren and Sam made that speaks to you as a videographer. I was already subbed to you after your first visit with BP but I'll definitely be watching my feed for more great stuff from you. 🖤
The family traits goes even deeper. Jenny was silent/frozen like her mother Violette but also like her grandmother who was the silent drinker. And screech was violent like his father stevie, and his grandfather that done the horrible things to Violette. The traits go through generations. And also, screech went to Patrick's for help but he wasnt home and something more sinister awaits. So he called his girl who was "busy" with Patrick. Adding more fuel to the fire when he turns to face the blue lights... Great reaction boys! Liked and subbed 👌🤌🤙🔥❤️
It's the small touches like the heavy breathing when he makes the phone call. He's run from the scene of killing Jenny to Patrick's house and is still catching his breath after failing to find sanctuary at Patrick's house.
Always love the reactions to the Jenny and Screech trilogy- the realisation at the end when the twist is revealed is always amazing to witness. But, it’s only when you stop and consider all the elements needed to make this trilogy. The storytelling, the acting, the playing, the cinematography and you think deeply about what the events in the story mean that you realise what an amazing piece of art this is. Love to see Joe E’s reactions, his unfettered enthusiasm for what Ren and Sam have produced and his insights as a videographer all make for a great reaction. 🔥🔥
One of the things I don't see often mentioned is that since they were twins Jenny was also 14 like Screech. What is a 14 year old doing walking the streets late at night in high heeled shoes?
The first 15 seconds of Screech's Tale always reminds me of Ennio Morricone, just as Violet's intro does. It's a story in a story in a story in a story in a... 🖤 Edit: in like 15 minutes you get a trilogy, a full trilogy, but without the getting-bored-falling-asleep-part.
I noticed the intros sort of foreshadow the story - like Screech's intro starts tense and fretful, reflecting Screech's fear, then explodes into dazzling fingers dancing angrily across the strings.
Awesome reaction. Came from BP channel but Ive subbed here to see what I can learn here. One thing I luke about this video is it shows the creativeness with the one takes doesnt just end at the visuals. In Violets tail you can see ren using a tall open stairwell to get some great sounds with his voice (even going into his falceto voice at that point) and then when hes doing the knocking bit in violets tale his voice into the wall also gives it a more ominous sound. Id love to know more about how they do the sound recording for these as im almost certain they are not using a prerecorded sound track
Hi Joe e Sparks and Black Pegasus.This was an absolutely soul wrenching story. It speaks to me, life is so precious. The generational awareness, I've heard them, also my own. Silence. This will speak to alot of people. Keep on being a light, Ren. And Reactors, video photographers(?)your reactions are much appreciated, because of the amount of time and work put in. This is the reward, shining that light. Speak it...🙏☝️🖼☝️🎇🤓
Your reaction was genuinely enjoyable. I'm so glad to see you shout out this kid who fit a genre, doesn't care about the 3min standard for a song or how anyone else does it.
My favourite moment in violets tale is when the camera is out of focus and then he said "reaches for her eyelids and folds them up". The focus then returns to his face like we (the camera) are the eyes of violet. It really sells the lyric and Stevie's aggression. Also, the red haze Ren is lit by after Screech is shot. It's just phenomenal storytelling.
Great commentary guys , we got to actually hear the amazing theatre of the song without constant stoppages and then hear your great summarizing afterwards 🤩
I love it when Sam is circling Ren in a whirlwind sort of chaos the likes of which are going on in the character Screech's head at that moment in the story.
Looking forward to you guys doing more Ren reactions together. Love the passion and the insights. There is a live 360 version of these tales that you might enjoy, JoeE.
Ya'll should do Ren and Sam Tompkins Blind Eyed featuring parking lot attendant. Its a one take with an unexpected interruption , and they just KEEP GOIN'!!! Busted guitar string and all
Yeah that one is absolute fire - even with the parking attendant yelling at them to stop the singing and get out they keep singing and filming . Little did the parking attendant know that he will be immortalized . This was his 15 mins of fame .
Upon the rewatch, take note of the sound changes created by the environment, such as the hallway and staircase. These little, incredibly well planned textures add layers to the song and video.
I really love your reactions from a videographer's perspective, I've just subbed and am going back through your other videos. Shout out to BP for putting this out on your channel first, he's a definition of a homie.
Another great reaction, @JoeESparks. As a videographer, you pick up and appreciate certain things and subtleties within these one take videos and that's great to see. Not only that but your reaction as the story unfolds is so genuine and then you notice other little things such as how Ren uses his guitar to imply certain actions such as rewinding or shooting when the cop shoots Screech or the punches that hit Violet. Great stuff and you are so genuinely impressed by the story telling and acting that Ren does and you clearly wear your heart on your sleeve as you are visibly taken in by the story and touched at each turn and ultimately the final twist in the story which brings the tales together. It's great to see. Great job on the "Mushy Peas" one take, too.
Straight over from BPs channel and an instant sub, 👌 Joe Es passion screams through the screen and these reactions. As much as we all appreciate and love these songs and videos to hear Joe E’s interpretation is intriguing
Something that doesn't get immediately noticed is the (very intentional) use/change of acoustics. When he heads into the hall, the heavy reverb gives it a dreamy/flashback quality. When he comes out into the stairwell, he's singing upwards in a higher pitch to give "She never stood a chance" the haunting quality, then immediately moving towards the doorway to stifle it. It's truly amazing how many details he takes in. Chalk Outlines (with Chinchilla) also uses an amazing combo of videography and acoustics.
For story telling, this piece is fantastic & so emotionally powerful. My favourite moment: Ren using the natural acoustics of space in the 3rd piece, and singing up into to stairwell to give the line "she never stood a chance" that reverb so the line sounds like divine prophecy. The attention to detail!
@@dosdan The latest Twitch stream featured a collaborator named Josh, who helps with the shoots. I wonder if they simply did step counts to prepare & if Josh helped guide Sam. I think Sam mentioned the camera they use is quite heavy.
Refreshing to see your authentic reactions while viewing this. And also your interest to view it again. The sad reality is scenarios like Violet - Jenny - Screech play out around the world regularly in varying degrees. This was my 1st time seeing you and @BlackPegasusRaps together. I am now your subscriber. @lowertheshield
Violet's Tale is close to being better than Hi Ren imo. That haunted singing at the beginning as he looks around the room confused, like Violet waking up in the hospital. When he stares into Violet's eyes after lifting her eyelids. The brutal re-enacting of the abuse. The whole thing is just chilling, and so perfectly executed in every way. Hi Ren is very special, but Violet's Tale is like the pyramids. Just... how? If it took them 186 takes to nail Money Game, I can't imagine what Violet's Tale was like. It's 100x more complex in every regard. It's a masterpiece masterpiece, and JoeE's insights into the filming side helps me appreciate it even more. Looking forward to more reactions bro, wherever you post them.
Ren re-centering at the beginning of Violet's tale - always gets me for some reason. That deep breath because he knows what is coming.
Yes! Preparing himself
I’ve always thought of him going *deep breath* “they’re not ready for this!” Haha
Joey so appreciated your perspective on the videography, the poetry, storytelling. music and perforannce.
Brilliant observation
It's interesting that the first comment I'm coming across is about THAT breath. I've watched several reactions for this, but for some reason, that breath caught my attention this time.
It makes you think he's about to speak after drawing that breath. Instead it's like, "Okay I got something to say... no wait a minute, y'all ain't ready yet."
Ren mentioned he had people yelling out the window "shut the f*ck up!!" When he was filming Jenny and Screeches Tale. 😂
I mean…😂 I love Ren but I love my sleep even more ! I’m a mean b*tch when someone messes with my sleep…😬 I’d be pretty pissed if I heard a guy yelling « and they call me fucking screeeeeeech!!!!! » in the streets in the middle of the night!!! 😂😂😂

and when Screech is shot, WE are Screech.
Then he acts as Stevie
@@annebiebrich9155 Who needs a cast of actors when you can just have Ren lol
Hell yeah Ramon, the levels of artistry is phenomenal
Two twins, lying side by side. Jennie and Screech, lying one street apart. *chills*
Every time I see this trilogy, I’m blown away. The simplicity is so effective. I cannot believe how Ren can walk -talk sing -rap -hit marks -play-and act transitioning from character to narrator to character…I love this so very much.❤❤❤❤❤

Same love seeing new people getting introduced to Ren and their Reactions esp when they know their stuff.
Yea I know the lyrics by heart but the reactions never grow old)

Right watching him switch back and forth is amazing af the characters and then the narrator
I have been a subscriber since realising how much skill Joe has in cinematography. I love seeing what he catches!

Omg Vanessa I can't wait for him to get a Netflix spot...u know he won't disappoint

I will never tire of listening to this. Breathtaking story telling and he’s a great actor too!

This trilogy of songs reminds me yet again that Ren is a once in a lifetime, special talent. I agree we must protect (but share) him at all costs. Thanks for explaining the videography angle
Joe, loved your reaction, so impactful to see which parts of both the story/song and the videography made you clutch your chest, and which parts just had you frozen, open-mouthed and glued to the screen. There's nothing quite like that first experience!
You know what I'd really like to see as well? Your thoughts on this piece after you've had plenty of time to watch it repeatedly, pause and rewind and study it to your heart's content. If that's something you would enjoy doing, I would HAPPILY watch a long video of you analyzing every choice Ren and Sam made that speaks to you as a videographer. I was already subbed to you after your first visit with BP but I'll definitely be watching my feed for more great stuff from you. 🖤
The family traits goes even deeper. Jenny was silent/frozen like her mother Violette but also like her grandmother who was the silent drinker. And screech was violent like his father stevie, and his grandfather that done the horrible things to Violette. The traits go through generations.
And also, screech went to Patrick's for help but he wasnt home and something more sinister awaits. So he called his girl who was "busy" with Patrick. Adding more fuel to the fire when he turns to face the blue lights...
Great reaction boys! Liked and subbed 👌🤌🤙🔥❤️
I LOVE the pauses in music as he's using his hands to paint a story 😍 especially in Violet's Tale
It's the small touches like the heavy breathing when he makes the phone call. He's run from the scene of killing Jenny to Patrick's house and is still catching his breath after failing to find sanctuary at Patrick's house.
Using the acoustics of the stairwell for "she never stood a chance" in falsetto was genius
Always love the reactions to the Jenny and Screech trilogy- the realisation at the end when the twist is revealed is always amazing to witness.
But, it’s only when you stop and consider all the elements needed to make this trilogy. The storytelling, the acting, the playing, the cinematography and you think deeply about what the events in the story mean that you realise what an amazing piece of art this is.
Love to see Joe E’s reactions, his unfettered enthusiasm for what Ren and Sam have produced and his insights as a videographer all make for a great reaction. 🔥🔥
One of the things I don't see often mentioned is that since they were twins Jenny was also 14 like Screech. What is a 14 year old doing walking the streets late at night in high heeled shoes?
First reaction to this that I've seen of this song that called out the Husker starter jacket. You earned my sub right then! GBR!
The first 15 seconds of Screech's Tale always reminds me of Ennio Morricone, just as Violet's intro does. It's a story in a story in a story in a story in a... 🖤
Edit: in like 15 minutes you get a trilogy, a full trilogy, but without the getting-bored-falling-asleep-part.
I noticed the intros sort of foreshadow the story - like Screech's intro starts tense and fretful, reflecting Screech's fear, then explodes into dazzling fingers dancing angrily across the strings.
@@serendipitish I'll second that. That's part of the brilliance, in my opinion.
The aptly termed BardCore. Ren and Sam are both amazing! Your reaction on this got you a new sub :) (I am sure more than one!)
I love how much Joe appreciated what Ren and Sam have done here. Great to see ❤
Yet another brilliant reaction Mr BP and the lovely Joe! Loved it! ❤ Btw, Mushy Peas was Ace, so funny x
Thank u Bev C
Please continue to do Ren reactions. Your input from your perspective and experience is magnificent!!!
Awesome reaction. Came from BP channel but Ive subbed here to see what I can learn here. One thing I luke about this video is it shows the creativeness with the one takes doesnt just end at the visuals. In Violets tail you can see ren using a tall open stairwell to get some great sounds with his voice (even going into his falceto voice at that point) and then when hes doing the knocking bit in violets tale his voice into the wall also gives it a more ominous sound. Id love to know more about how they do the sound recording for these as im almost certain they are not using a prerecorded sound track
Hi Joe e Sparks and Black Pegasus.This was an absolutely soul wrenching story. It speaks to me, life is so precious. The generational awareness, I've heard them, also my own. Silence. This will speak to alot of people. Keep on being a light, Ren. And Reactors, video photographers(?)your reactions are much appreciated, because of the amount of time and work put in. This is the reward, shining that light. Speak it...🙏☝️🖼☝️🎇🤓
Your reaction was genuinely enjoyable. I'm so glad to see you shout out this kid who fit a genre, doesn't care about the 3min standard for a song or how anyone else does it.
I was so confused when this popped up because I'm terrible with names, but I'm here and understand now haha subscribed and liked
Thank u Ceekayy, I hope u enjoyed!
My favourite moment in violets tale is when the camera is out of focus and then he said "reaches for her eyelids and folds them up". The focus then returns to his face like we (the camera) are the eyes of violet. It really sells the lyric and Stevie's aggression. Also, the red haze Ren is lit by after Screech is shot. It's just phenomenal storytelling.
Here for it let’s go!!!
Thank u so much!
The live stream feed went away... so greetings and salutations here!
Hello Greg, I appreciate ya coming over here to say hi as well !
Let’s goooooo !! BP you been killing it bro keep it coming
BP is the man!!!
Loved the reaction! Thank you 🙏
Great commentary guys , we got to actually hear the amazing theatre of the song without constant stoppages and then hear your great summarizing afterwards 🤩
I love it when Sam is circling Ren in a whirlwind sort of chaos the likes of which are going on in the character Screech's head at that moment in the story.
Great reaction Joe... I absolutely love how immersed you get while watching . And seeing it through your eyes as a filmographer
The videography perspective is really new to me. Greatly enjoyed this reaction.
Loves the reaction! Great takes on this masterpiece!
Thank u Stev-runs!!!
Looking forward to you guys doing more Ren reactions together. Love the passion and the insights. There is a live 360 version of these tales that you might enjoy, JoeE.
Ya'll should do Ren and Sam Tompkins Blind Eyed featuring parking lot attendant. Its a one take with an unexpected interruption , and they just KEEP GOIN'!!!
Busted guitar string and all
+1
Yeah that one is absolute fire - even with the parking attendant yelling at them to stop the singing and get out they keep singing and filming . Little did the parking attendant know that he will be immortalized . This was his 15 mins of fame .
@@Silkytoaster immortalized as a toy in Ren's store? 🤣
I have to see this!!!
@@joeesparks7 yes sir you do!!!
Upon the rewatch, take note of the sound changes created by the environment, such as the hallway and staircase. These little, incredibly well planned textures add layers to the song and video.
Enjoyed this immensely, knew you'd appreciate this one. Respect from the UK 👍
I really love your reactions from a videographer's perspective, I've just subbed and am going back through your other videos. Shout out to BP for putting this out on your channel first, he's a definition of a homie.
Thank u, I'm going to continue reacting from a videographer pov! And yes, BP is a true friend
It sounded like you haven’t seen immortal technique “dance with the devil” love to see you check it out! Great reaction my man!
Well written and filmed masterpiece says it all. Thank you for another truly satisfying reaction.👍🦇
Seagull I'm glad u like it!
Really enjoyed this video. You're like a kid on Christmas Day the way you got excited.
Another great reaction, @JoeESparks. As a videographer, you pick up and appreciate certain things and subtleties within these one take videos and that's great to see. Not only that but your reaction as the story unfolds is so genuine and then you notice other little things such as how Ren uses his guitar to imply certain actions such as rewinding or shooting when the cop shoots Screech or the punches that hit Violet. Great stuff and you are so genuinely impressed by the story telling and acting that Ren does and you clearly wear your heart on your sleeve as you are visibly taken in by the story and touched at each turn and ultimately the final twist in the story which brings the tales together. It's great to see. Great job on the "Mushy Peas" one take, too.
Thanks!
Ah thank u Kathi🙏🏽 u help keep the lights on🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💯💯💯
Straight over from BPs channel and an instant sub, 👌
Joe Es passion screams through the screen and these reactions.
As much as we all appreciate and love these songs and videos to hear Joe E’s interpretation is intriguing
In my country man with guitar calls trubadur,singing in the streets especialy in the south of country in the Adriatic see.
There are similarities.
👊🏽💯
The Violet section opening reminds me of the old spaghetti western movies Clint was in, so cool!
@BlackPegasus sent me! 😁 We loved you Joe! Now a loyal subscriber to your channel ❤️
Lets go baby here from Pegasus channel. Love your reactions brotha! Hope to see more! All love
Thank u again!
Dude I love watching the way you break it down Joe. Your reactions are becoming my favorite. So entertaining.
Great video, kudos to BP for getting another channels subs a bump, rens creating a following
BP is the man!!!
Something that doesn't get immediately noticed is the (very intentional) use/change of acoustics. When he heads into the hall, the heavy reverb gives it a dreamy/flashback quality. When he comes out into the stairwell, he's singing upwards in a higher pitch to give "She never stood a chance" the haunting quality, then immediately moving towards the doorway to stifle it. It's truly amazing how many details he takes in. Chalk Outlines (with Chinchilla) also uses an amazing combo of videography and acoustics.
I enjoyed this reaction as much as you guys did making it!
Thanks for that reaction Joee, 👏👏👏
Thanks for having the volume up, makes all the difference for me as my laptop (MacBook Air) has a very low 'highest volume'
Amazing. Brilliant piece of work! Love Ren & Sam's collaborations. Great reaction.
Thank you Joe.. Great review. You have fallen down the Ren rabbit hole with the rest of us and you won't be disappointed.
Enjoyed this perspective. Thanks. -& for passing it on.
Videographer is under the influence. As a Host, brilliantly, I appreciate you reeling him back in. 🙏🏻. Kudos to you 😊
For story telling, this piece is fantastic & so emotionally powerful. My favourite moment: Ren using the natural acoustics of space in the 3rd piece, and singing up into to stairwell to give the line "she never stood a chance" that reverb so the line sounds like divine prophecy. The attention to detail!
"She never stood a chance.
The devil comes to dance."
Probably my favorite Ren moment.
Mine too
How did Sam film so steadily walking backwards up the stairs?
@@dosdan I've asked that too.
No one answered.
@@dosdan The latest Twitch stream featured a collaborator named Josh, who helps with the shoots. I wonder if they simply did step counts to prepare & if Josh helped guide Sam. I think Sam mentioned the camera they use is quite heavy.
Hi Joe E... Black Pegasus sent me. New subscriber here.
Sparks are flying! Love your reactions!
Joe E rocks. He has a realness that is refreshing and I appreciate the 2 of you helping Ren and others .Keep it up. I am not a forty but a late 50.
Thank u Tom, hearing that means the world to me!
I loved it so much thanks guys 🫶🏽 REN✨is magic prayers🙏🏽 for REN✨
🎶music & art is life !
Refreshing to see your authentic reactions while viewing this. And also your interest to view it again. The sad reality is scenarios like Violet - Jenny - Screech play out around the world regularly in varying degrees.
This was my 1st time seeing you and @BlackPegasusRaps together. I am now your subscriber. @lowertheshield
Violet's Tale is close to being better than Hi Ren imo. That haunted singing at the beginning as he looks around the room confused, like Violet waking up in the hospital. When he stares into Violet's eyes after lifting her eyelids. The brutal re-enacting of the abuse. The whole thing is just chilling, and so perfectly executed in every way.
Hi Ren is very special, but Violet's Tale is like the pyramids. Just... how? If it took them 186 takes to nail Money Game, I can't imagine what Violet's Tale was like. It's 100x more complex in every regard. It's a masterpiece masterpiece, and JoeE's insights into the filming side helps me appreciate it even more.
Looking forward to more reactions bro, wherever you post them.
