- This is my film professor Loomis. He is a punk rocker and had never seen This is America, so I showed him because I was curious as to what he would think. I do not own any rights to the music in this video, this is simply a reaction video.
To skip past the music video and watch just the break down of the video mechanics go to time code 7:06
Boy, I sure do miss teaching in person. Thanks Cole!
For those saying this professor should make a UA-cam channel, this is him! 😁 Miss you tons Loomis, I think about you often. Hope your doing well 💛
Hey sir I am about to start a new youtube show breaking down "Twin Movies" I'd love to have you on as a guest. Let me know if that's something you'd be interested in.
Thank you, Professor, for this! I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it!!! Would love to see more!!!
Wow, you can tell that he was actively analyzing the video, so I can understand his lack of reactions. Seems to be a fantastic professor--I'm jealous!
This is so cool! He’s totally
into the narrative and meaning of the piece and he totally wants you to know that, but he doesn’t force anybody’s opinion.
I've heard a lot of analysis about the messages in the video, but never anything about the filmography of the video - so this was really cool to hear!
You've done a really great service in recording and posting this for other people. Thanks a ton!
I really enjoyed this video. I would love to hear other break downs from this professor. He's very good.
I agree that it’s a perfect music video and is also like a short film. There are so many layers of meaning and areas of focus you need several rewatches. Even then without context so much goes by some people but everyone comes away with the over all sense of what it means.
I love watching reactions to it (this guy didn’t give much away) but in general people are relaxed and bopping and the gunshot snaps them out of it. It’s amazing to see them sit up and realise something else is happening here.
The actual camera they have used was a film camera, an arriflex studio 435 on kodak vision3 5219 film stock.
One lens was a Zeiss Super Speed, the other lens was an Angénieux EZ-1 Zoom.
Btw great analisys!
Thank you SO, so much for posting this. It's almost as good as if I was to participate in this class! 🖤
Loved his break down. Thank you for the video!
This is such a good video!! Thank you for sharing
great video, loved the break down.
Thank you for this video and good luck in your career.
Would like to see more content like this! Music video cinematography reactions.
Maybe your teacher could do Wardruna - Raido next.
Great teacher !!!
I love that he also made it a teaching moment as well, asking students questions.
I wonder what the symbolism of (so many) cars means in this video
I haven't followed up on it but my Step-Dad said they were all models that used to made in the US but of course are not anymore.
My understanding is that they are all meant to represent black people who were brutalized or killed by police, including Rodney King's 1987 Hyundai Excel. Most of the cars still have their blinkers on as they would've been left after being pulled over.
I think its be in contrast to other music videos. Where the main star of the video is surrounded by luxury cars and women. Whereas here he is surrounded by old 'junk' cars.

wow he really broke this down...a real professor
Cool video! I don't know anything about the technical aspect of film, but it was really interesting to me!
I liked his smiles while watching. He defo appreciated that.
19:15 professor stole my heart! ❤
That's a really cool concept, loved it ! Felt like being back in my high school film class, I missed it. :) )
Do you plan on doing more of these ? *-*
I wish! Sadly the pandemic meant no more classes in person, and then I ended up moving and am sadly no longer one of his students. But if I ever have the opportunity to work with or be mentored by Loomis again, I would be so excited and honored and just honestly overjoyed
Your smile looks incredible!
No lie I was a little hurt when he didn’t react but as soon as he starting talking and teaching I understood why. He did an awesome job and i understood everything he said. Awesome job!!!!!
Oh man i was in film school a couple years ago and this brought me back
If you know the lingo of what he’s talking about this is a really interesting a deep lesson of technics, a lot of film school is just sitting there and breaking it down backwards “how did they do that”
I would love to see what he thinks about Gambino's video for Sweatpants! Another brilliant music video!
So I googled who directed the video when the class talked about it. It's Hiro Murai. Of course it's Hiro Murai
I watched this entire video because it was so interesting
This was really interesting, even though I know nothing about film, I could comprehend a lot of his explanations!
I also like that he didn't react while watching, sometimes these reaction videos are so focused on showing us their reaction that the people making them miss important nuances, especially in a video like this. If someone shows me a video or a song and wants to know what I think, I'm immersed in it trying to catch every detail and take it in as a whole as the artist intended. Then I'll go back to parts that I need more clarification on and rewatch/relisten. I'd be a really boring reaction channel, though, I guess.
Everyone isn't going to be shocked. That shouldn't expected. Everyone has experienced things in life that'll influence how they see things. Even from a creative point. Just something to keep in mind. Nice to see a film professor break things down. Wasn't boring at all. Thumbs up!
This video is awesome
It was shot absolutely beautifully
Yes you professors can made a UA-cam channel
sober music video is another rly cool music video by those two
May, 24th 2021. Just chiming in to wish you good luck since your should be graduating soon (based on what you said on the video maybe you already graduated!)
Thank you so much 🥺 sadly I ended up not going back after that semester. I have a year left to complete but classes got canceled in person for a semester and by then I had decided to move to another state! I'm hopeful to work with Loomis again in the future one day tho! And I do have plans for film projects in the future although I no longer intend to go into the film industry as a career. Thank you for the well wishes and kindness 💛🧡
It really does act more of a short film set to music rather than any old music video. I never thought of it that way before. Guess that's why he's the teacher, huh?
Nobody's more punk than Childish Gambino lol. Great analysis
He’s chilling
That's not jordan peele, if you arent aware by this point. Does have a resemblance though!
The guy at the beginning playing the guitar is Trayvon Martin's father. EDIT: I did a bit of research, he is NOT his father.
Next time Kendrick Lamar : Alright music video
This is america thank you Gambino you are a genius for sure lol true hurts 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💘💘💞💥💥💥💥😘
That's my former Film teacher Loomis. He made a movie too. Where was this? I doubt this was at the Art Institute
Pima community college in AZ! He's made a few movies now, two released and one unreleased (which was my personal fave tbh)
I miss good teachers,
Here’s the reality he chuckled because he was already thinking the choir was going to get killed,
As a Mexican that has lived in West Virginia for almost 12 years I grew up in white culture and tend to know white humor very well. This is a clear indication of that :). All love one race the Human Race.
I wanna take his class
It was shot on Kodak Vision 3 T500
THIS NIGGA KNOWS HIS SHYYYT! DAMN !!
Not Jordan Peele but still great analysis
Did I miss the break-down of the Jim Crow references? Amongst EVERYTHING ELSE?
Que alguien lo suptitule al español
7:06
I KNOW IM LATE BUT HE SHOULD REACT TO RUNAWAY BY KANYE WEST
didnt look like Jordan
In the beginning of the video, it's like the choir is singing Kkkkkkkkk go go gooo
I think Donald glover (childish gambino) directed the whole video
Samuel Loomis??????????????
Is this about you? Or him?
Umm that’s not Jordan Peele
It was
@@SurtaPhyde it wasn't
another reactor thought that too
Its definitely not jordan peele, theres a resemblance but 100% not him
Its also in India the only difference is brown skin
I feel like i bothered you by watching this video !😕😕😕
Did he said big hit like with the band BTS or just saying Big hit like litteraly big hit?
😒
This Armys have just 1 brain cell
Sub, please.
Not trying to hate,but can you talk fast please
It's a classroom 😑
Ummm... he could if his classroom could process that quickly. He is busy explaining it in a way they would understand.
just speed up the video if you're that impatient
not trying to hate but can you not comment please.
