Hello Renegades! Thank you so much for the love and support! I have seen all the comments and appreciate all the kind words! I can’t wait to react to more of Ren’s work and I will do my best not to pause as much next time. It was hard to pause through this because of how amazing it is- but I just had to point out some things I saw.. my uncut reaction is an hour long.. so I had to even cut that down as well 😅 Anyway- thank you once again for everything you guys! Here’s to going down this beautiful rabbit hole! Thank you Ren!
Two months before she died, this is what Sinead O’Connor posted after watching Hi Ren: “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”.
We're pretty proud of our Ren in the UK. National treasure, except that not everyone has discovered him yet. He's from Wales originally, but I'm going to claim him for England as he has made his home in Brighton on the south coast of England. This video was recorded live on a very low budget by Ren and his friend and cinematographer Samuel Perry-Falvey. They didn't have permission from the landlord to film in this location. They managed four good takes and then had to leave, with no chance to try again as Ren was due to leave for extended medical treatment in Canada shortly after. The sound is from one take, with bits of video spliced together from the four takes. This guy is already an inspirational speaker! Check out his One million subscribers: Defining Success thank you video. You won't regret it. He's also a hilarious internet troll with a very cheeky sense of humour. Ren conceptualises his music with visuals in mind right from the start. There is a lot here to sink your teeth into. Check out the song Sick Boi for more of his personal story. It's recorded in the same room. For incredible storytelling and 3 live one-take videos, check out the Tale of Jenny and Screech. There is a 13 minute video with the three tales in the correct order: they make up a bigger story. It's very dark but compelling.
Don't think there's any claiming him for England, he's Welsh and is proud of his home country. In fact any Welsh person would offended at the suggestion of becoming English! ;)
Well said! This is almost everything I was going to say except the part of claiming him lol. I was born in Germany and grew up in Chicago so I'm far away from the UK.
Oh wow... You're giving a new perspective for this video. I watched sooo many Hi Ren reaction videos to see how people think about Hi Ren. You're giving plenty of EXCELLENT FRESH PERSPECTIVES. Amazing. Thank you.
You have no idea the rabbit hole you're about to explore and I'm here for it! Ren and his friends are incredible! Enjoy the ride. I've been watching Ren reactions for well over a year and you're the first person that's pointed out the rubble on the one side!! 😮 I can't wait for you to react to all the others!!
Yes, I thought the same thing. I've watched at least 100 reactions and this is the first time I heard someone point that out. He also pointed out the condition of the other side of the room as being in the process of renovating or rebuilding so therefore in better condition. Interesting perspective!
I've been waiting for you to get to Ren! So many videos that would blow your mind. He's really great at one take/one shot videos! His video budget has increased over the last 2 years but the videos he did very small budget are brilliant and creative and now they are next level.... Hope you fall down this rabbit hole! As an editor the ones I think would be the most interesting from that perspective would be the following: *The Tales of Jenny and Screech (full version, it's about 13 plus minutes long and split into 3 chapters.) *Sick Boi *Animal Flow *Murderer *Money Game parts 1, 2, 3 (2 is a lyric video or you miss a good chunk of the song - but even his lyric videos are different from the average lyric videos!) *Kujo Beatdown *Money Ties *Slaughterhouse *Sick Boi Episode 1: The Flame of Prometheus (not a music video, don't want to give anything away tho.) Honestly, can't go wrong with anything Ren. He's a once in a lifetime artist and human. 🔥🔥🔥💙💙💙💥💥💥 Shared this reaction to all 3 Ren FB Groups I'm part of and his Patreon.
Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed this reaction. I've never heard anyone pick up Ren breaks the fourth wall from two different sides of himself before.
He IS an inspirational speaker - watch his 5 min thank you speech for getting one million subscribers called Defining Success. A generational talent - a star. Thank you for helping to spread the word for this independent artist who is rarely played on the radio and cannot tour❤ PS I think this is hopeful - not tragic at all! X
I probably watched hi ren reactions 100 times and your the first reactor I’ve seen describe the the details of the set. It was amazing to watch you analyze it like that. You found things I’d never thought of before, like the rubble on the dark side and clean space on the light side, the space in between the shot to make it look more convincing. Great job man!
Honestly, this might be the best reaction to Ren that I've watched and it it had been even longer and more detailed, I'd have stayed watched. You saw so much more than most people do. And you really understood what Ren was doing. The lighting, the setting, and so many little details tgat most don't even realise that they've seen. You must be very good at your job. I can't wait to see what you think of Ren's other work. I think you're in for a journey of love and inspiration.
Loved your technical video expertise reaction. You're going to hear everybody recommending the Jenny and Screech Trilogy...I can't wait to hear your take on this Masterclass in storytelling. Not to mention each song in the trilogy was done in one take.
I’ve watched hundreds of reactions to this piece and you have observed more in the first 2:30 than I have ever witnessed!! I paused to say that, lol. Let’s hope the rest is as good!! 😉
New sub here from Arizona, I'm here for any and all Ren reactions. As a 54 year old music lover my whole life, Ren has reconfigured my mind for the better and REN-EWED my heart & soul by making me really hear music for the 1st time in my life! Thank you for the great reaction! 😁 What an amazing journey awaits you!
"This guy needs to be a motivational speaker" That's a perfect statement of why he has the following he does. We Renegades are always pleased to spot a new member of the club!🤜🤛 Loved your perspective & have subbed, i hope you explore more of this life changing artist. you definitely won't regret it!😊
the 'scary' chords during the 'evil' and chaotic part of the song contains a series of diminished chords, essentially a flatted 5th, which was known as the 'devil's interval' during the middle ages and were generally banished by the church. He plays it here for a reason.... his lyrics also contain references from the book of Revelations... none of these are by accident. Ren has woven these, and many more 'subliminal' references into this work of art.
So excited to go on this journey with you!! Ren has some great one takes. I love videographer reactions to Ren, especially once they realize it is a one take LIVE video just recorded with a few cameras at the same time. Your channel has 27.8k subs as 12/13 when this video was posted.
I love how u went on to describe the room in great detail. I never noticed all the differences between the 2 sides of the room as u did. Ive watched 100+ reactions and i dont think anyone else has either. I love that about reactions. I notice something new to an already amazing song. Thanx
You’ve stepped into a most incredible and important place!! Ren and his artistic music single-handedly changed my entire perspective on new music!! I’m 60, and thought, wrongly, all greatness had already passed! Ren brings so much more than my words can express!!! He is a movement!! He is an artist!! He is a philosopher!! Please, take time to hear his music!! There’s no way you’ll be disappointed!!!❤❤❤
I have watched 1000s of reactions to this probably at this point, (yes disabled and it is keeping me going right now, i know i need to get a life, i think about it all the time lol) but you explained this and picked up on so much other video people haven't! The walls, talking to the shadows, the lights being bigger etc. Great reaction!
You are loved. You don't need to "get a life". Half of the mental health difficulty is (as REN has showed in this video) being kind to ourselves. If REN is keeping you going right now and you love watching reactions...then keep watching reactions and love yourself in the process.
200 reactions of Hi Ren down and I still find new ones so enjoyable. I am so excited to watch you go down the Ren rabbit hole, his catalogue is so fascinating, Ren truly is a once in a lifetime artist. Great work, can't wait what you think about the Jenny and Screech trilogy, Money Game Pt. 1-3 and all the other amazing stuff. Btw. the RENegades dont mind long reactions. Take your time to take everything in and however long it takes you to tell us what you think, that is what we are (or at least I am) here for! Thank you and really looking forward for more, new sub for sure!
You are correct this is not a set this is a practical location, which they were eventually asked to leave. After some interaction they were allowed a little more time. This is all live audio and was filmed with two tripod cameras and a handheld. They had four takes and took the best parts of each but the audio is all one live audio recording. He wears a lavalier mic and the guitar is plugged into a device gaff taped to his body. According to run the only thing they did in post was to adjust volume levels to even them out.
Ren to me, is a book with a blank cover. Open the book and the pages transport you to a time, place and emotion of Rens choosing. I'm just an old fart, but Ren has touched and helped me these last couple years. God bless and keep Ren among us, we need him
Duuuude this is just the beginning of Ren, he's a damn genius. I would go through these videos in this order to explore his stuff further: The Tale of Jenny & Screech and Violet's Tale but these 2 need to be done in the same video as they are linked and will completely blow your mind with the 1 take videos (ua-cam.com/video/TYAnqQ--KX0/v-deo.html & ua-cam.com/video/a4R9Vk5_CbU/v-deo.html). The Hunger (ua-cam.com/video/1T_fLytBFM4/v-deo.html), Sick Boi (ua-cam.com/video/3Q6uCrpzbPY/v-deo.html), Chalk Outline (ua-cam.com/video/nyWbun_PbTc/v-deo.html), How to Be Me (ua-cam.com/video/SDR7sup3DsU/v-deo.html), Losing It (ua-cam.com/video/mLvAGjhDssc/v-deo.html), Genesis (ua-cam.com/video/YzsTdLIcbzU/v-deo.html), Animal Flow (ua-cam.com/video/F4mUnmFbVNg/v-deo.html), Illest of Our Time (ua-cam.com/video/tB-JGSdBerE/v-deo.html), Money Game Parts 1, 2, and 3 (ua-cam.com/video/0ivQwwgW4OY/v-deo.html, ua-cam.com/video/DxNUwVuG6Lw/v-deo.html, ua-cam.com/video/nyWbun_PbTc/v-deo.html). There is more, but that to me is like the essential Ren pack! Also this Chinchilla song is amazeballs and she's worked with Ren alot : Fingers Live for Hunger TV the videography on this is awesome (at least I think so but I'm just a nurse lol) (ua-cam.com/video/KK56SwMFzdc/v-deo.html&pp=ygUKY2hpbmNoaWxsYQ%3D%3D)
Thank you! I loved your reaction! Ren is just one of those once in a lifetime artists and a very large number of people have been able to relate to his music on a wierd cosmic level lol Go Renegades!
Wow... your reaction was everything ❤ tysm for reacting to Ren! I listen to this song daily to help get me out of my depression. Ren's songs have saved my life and my son's life. He will forever be inspirational and he's just as beautiful on the inside as his songs are.
What a great way to wake up in the UK and see a brilliant in-depth and perfect reaction to such an Iconic track, he truly is one of a kind. There are so many many other amazing Ren videos ( don't like to worry you but there are over 250 ( inc The Big Push ) and they are all Must's)
Im paused at 4:30 just to say I'm super excited for the rest of your reaction and the many more to follow with Ren. Can already tell you're going to love this trip!
Was waiting a long time for you to react to Ren! And boy was not disappointed. I really hope you will continue this amazing journey as you haven’t even touched the surface. Will share this with Renegades so don’t be surprised with views and comments 🖤🖤🖤
You have pointed out so many things no one else has! Thank you for your reaction to this video. Very educational. I’m even more impressed by Ren and his team now.
I love the waves of new reactions to Hi Ren because there are always a handful that are renegades, they just don’t know it until now, like RIGHT NOW! There’s so much symbolism in RENs music and his videos. Everything is purposeful without ever being contrived. He is incredibly talented and has been through so much with his health ( physical, emotional and psychological). He’s incredibly intelligent, especially emotionally. His ability to connect with so many people on different levels speaks to his authenticity as a human being. Yes, this is art. And like art it’s meant to be shared and to evoke emotions and spark conversations. Ren is a multi instrumentalist, a singer and songwriter, a poet, a director, a screenwriter, an actor, and we love him just for being Ren.
This was incredible, I really love the format at which you broke things down. A lot of times with either music professionals or cinematographers much of what gets described completely goes over the layman’s head and I thought the way you explained uses of lighting in this and that was so simple to grasp and I’m really excited to see your next video.
I think it's because almost everyone seems to pick up on different things and also the overall message, it's really a phenomenal piece of art that I'm still not bored of after 2 years
I've been watching reactions to Hi Ren for over a year, addicted. Most are focused on the story. Your reaction is the first to help me understand all that went into producing the video. I saw, for the first time, the alternating facial illumination, the shadow play, the chaos/control hemispheres of the room, how the size of the background lights mirror the part of him speaking. Also, the angle of the shot reflecting his gathering strength. Thanks for an excellent reaction.
Buckle up.... I loved your insight to the videography behind the video. I've seen hundreds of reactions and nobody has ever explained the lighting, depth, shadow etc like that . Brilliant.
This video was filmed in a basement they found. They got 4 takes done before they were discovered and had to leave. The video is mostly one take, with extras cuts from a handheld. It was all recorded on a lav mic and guitar pickup. What Ren can do with 4 lights, a guitar, wheelchair, and a lav mic is truly astonishing. Checkout Murder and the Tale of Jenny and Screech for more of Ren’s cinematic genius.
welcome to the renegades , and thank you for your honest impression . be prepared for many suggestions all of them beautiful .. many tragic and a few with social conscience on par with this ,, Ren is a true treasure.
If you react to it, we will come. Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole and the Renegades. One thing I like to point out narratively is that there are three voices. Himself, his darkness, and hope. The yodel that hope does was how he started the song. We didn't hear from hope until the end, but hope was there the whole time and came out when the darkness grew to overwhelm his self. So we may not hear it, but there is always hope.
What an awesome reaction!!🔥 👏 ❤️ As a Renegade I've seen hundreds of reactions to this song, and you did it splendidly!👏 Many of the things you noticed and pointed out, I haven't heard others react to at all! Thank you for a job very well done! And welcome to the Reniverse!😁 Subbed in hope of more Renactions!❤️
Oh, I’m so glad I saw your first, but definitely not last, REN reaction. With your field of expertise, you’re going to,want to clear your calendar when you get to The Tales of Jenny and Screech. I can’t wait to see it. 😊
Absolutely loved your reaction. 15:55 don't hate saying it's beautiful because it really is. It's a piece of art - it feels like an archetype to me because it's absolutely essential for many people. I certainly found many aspects of this that gelled with me in ways that knocked me sideways on first viewing. His bravery and honesty are absolutely treasures, never mind his talents.
"Your channel has 27.8k subs as 12/13 when this video was posted." Taken from another comment. 6 hours later = 28K subscribers and I'm one of them. That was a really excellent breakdown of the artistry thank you! I hope Sam sees this reaction.
Excellent reaction, my friend! I've subbed and can't wait to see what you think of his other vids. I recommend "The Tale of Jenny and Screech" (13:31 version) next... you're in for a ride! 😁
It never feels like 9 minutes, it's so intense. It gets me every time, no matter how often I see this. I always laugh a little when reactors exclaim at the 9 minutes before they watch the video.
Terrific reaction! Thank-you so much for sharing your insights on things I've seen, an embarrassing amount of times, without ever noticing. A wonderful amount of cinematic insight. Subscribed and really looking forward to you seeing the Money game trilogy, due to their theatrical presentations, two of the three at least. Enjoy! 🤕🥰😃
Great reaction/analyses! Love that you both appriciated the storytelling, the deeper meaning and also picked up on all those visual cues and explained how they are relevant. I was a bit worried that you would get so drawn in that you only would comment on one of the aspects, but you certainly delivered. This is one of the best reactions to Hi Ren I've seen. (And I've seen lots!) Next, pls go watch Jenny, Screech and Violet's tales, they are a trilogy and should be seen in that order and if possible in one sitting.
Hello Renegades! Thank you so much for the love and support! I have seen all the comments and appreciate all the kind words! I can’t wait to react to more of Ren’s work and I will do my best not to pause as much next time.
It was hard to pause through this because of how amazing it is- but I just had to point out some things I saw.. my uncut reaction is an hour long.. so I had to even cut that down as well 😅
Anyway- thank you once again for everything you guys! Here’s to going down this beautiful rabbit hole! Thank you Ren!
@@Videoeditorreacts Respect 🙏 🫡
Two months before she died, this is what Sinead O’Connor posted after watching Hi Ren:
“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”.
That is truly the most amazing thing to have Sinead O'Connor throw praise like that. Perfect. I love that quote.
She would not throw flowers at someone that she didn't think deserved it. I cried like a baby when she died.
Yess we got an another one!
🤣
Yes we have!!!
The cult expands!!!!
He's a keeper!
Exactly what I was thinking! ☮️💙😎
Welp, now you've done it.
Once you've rubbed this lamp, there's no getting the genie back inside.
Right?!...but the 3😊 wishes you don't even need them...😊
I feel like Ren would enjoy this comment. He's a bit cheeky and while the overt meaning is completely innocent, it feels a bit cheeky
@TwinkleToestheBerserker 🙃😉
eeww you got lamp genie sauce all over my leg!
@@strumploidit’s apparently called gilk according to urban dictionary 😅
Dead when you said "you can only last on one camera angle". Cannot wait until you watch the one take Tales video 🔥
Yep! Or Murderer, Money Game 1 and 3. So many good ones!
@@13jonni well I think he means one static camera angle, to be fair..
We're pretty proud of our Ren in the UK. National treasure, except that not everyone has discovered him yet. He's from Wales originally, but I'm going to claim him for England as he has made his home in Brighton on the south coast of England.
This video was recorded live on a very low budget by Ren and his friend and cinematographer Samuel Perry-Falvey. They didn't have permission from the landlord to film in this location. They managed four good takes and then had to leave, with no chance to try again as Ren was due to leave for extended medical treatment in Canada shortly after. The sound is from one take, with bits of video spliced together from the four takes.
This guy is already an inspirational speaker! Check out his One million subscribers: Defining Success thank you video. You won't regret it. He's also a hilarious internet troll with a very cheeky sense of humour.
Ren conceptualises his music with visuals in mind right from the start. There is a lot here to sink your teeth into. Check out the song Sick Boi for more of his personal story. It's recorded in the same room. For incredible storytelling and 3 live one-take videos, check out the Tale of Jenny and Screech. There is a 13 minute video with the three tales in the correct order: they make up a bigger story. It's very dark but compelling.
I love the fact you included his online shenanigans 😂. He’s so special 😁
Don't think there's any claiming him for England, he's Welsh and is proud of his home country. In fact any Welsh person would offended at the suggestion of becoming English! ;)
Well said! This is almost everything I was going to say except the part of claiming him lol. I was born in Germany and grew up in Chicago so I'm far away from the UK.
Thank you, as a 54 year old he has renewed my love of music, I can’t get enough of his music and vids
Sorry KittyInTheGarden but the guys from TDIP have claimed Ren for Jamaica.
Welcome you just entered the Reniverse. REN is a very talented artist. Please check out more of his catalog
Oh wow... You're giving a new perspective for this video. I watched sooo many Hi Ren reaction videos to see how people think about Hi Ren. You're giving plenty of EXCELLENT FRESH PERSPECTIVES. Amazing. Thank you.
Oh my … you are about to embark on a life changing odyssey! Welcome to the world of Ren. Thanks for your reaction - I thoroughly enjoyed it ♥️
You have no idea the rabbit hole you're about to explore and I'm here for it! Ren and his friends are incredible! Enjoy the ride. I've been watching Ren reactions for well over a year and you're the first person that's pointed out the rubble on the one side!! 😮 I can't wait for you to react to all the others!!
Yes, I thought the same thing. I've watched at least 100 reactions and this is the first time I heard someone point that out. He also pointed out the condition of the other side of the room as being in the process of renovating or rebuilding so therefore in better condition. Interesting perspective!
And this isn't his only masterpiece!
It is not and he being a professional videographer money game 3 will blow his mind
@@shelleynull6532fuck yes!
Ooh, I can't wait for the Tales and the Money Game trilogy.
@@sebrina8057 Oh Money Game is going to blow his mind, especially Money Game 3
Ohhh yesssss
I've been waiting for you to get to Ren! So many videos that would blow your mind. He's really great at one take/one shot videos! His video budget has increased over the last 2 years but the videos he did very small budget are brilliant and creative and now they are next level.... Hope you fall down this rabbit hole! As an editor the ones I think would be the most interesting from that perspective would be the following:
*The Tales of Jenny and Screech (full version, it's about 13 plus minutes long and split into 3 chapters.)
*Sick Boi
*Animal Flow
*Murderer
*Money Game parts 1, 2, 3 (2 is a lyric video or you miss a good chunk of the song - but even his lyric videos are different from the average lyric videos!)
*Kujo Beatdown
*Money Ties
*Slaughterhouse
*Sick Boi Episode 1: The Flame of Prometheus (not a music video, don't want to give anything away tho.)
Honestly, can't go wrong with anything Ren. He's a once in a lifetime artist and human.

Oh man!!!! Here we go RENegades. One of the best reactions, and subbed for more. Channel is about to blow up.
This piece by Ren struck me as more than just music. This is ART. This is a man grappling with the universe and baring his SOUL to the world.

Duuuude this is just the beginning of Ren, he's a damn genius. I would go through these videos in this order to explore his stuff further: The Tale of Jenny & Screech and Violet's Tale but these 2 need to be done in the same video as they are linked and will completely blow your mind with the 1 take videos (ua-cam.com/video/TYAnqQ--KX0/v-deo.html & ua-cam.com/video/a4R9Vk5_CbU/v-deo.html). The Hunger (ua-cam.com/video/1T_fLytBFM4/v-deo.html), Sick Boi (ua-cam.com/video/3Q6uCrpzbPY/v-deo.html), Chalk Outline (ua-cam.com/video/nyWbun_PbTc/v-deo.html), How to Be Me (ua-cam.com/video/SDR7sup3DsU/v-deo.html), Losing It (ua-cam.com/video/mLvAGjhDssc/v-deo.html), Genesis (ua-cam.com/video/YzsTdLIcbzU/v-deo.html), Animal Flow (ua-cam.com/video/F4mUnmFbVNg/v-deo.html), Illest of Our Time (ua-cam.com/video/tB-JGSdBerE/v-deo.html), Money Game Parts 1, 2, and 3 (ua-cam.com/video/0ivQwwgW4OY/v-deo.html, ua-cam.com/video/DxNUwVuG6Lw/v-deo.html, ua-cam.com/video/nyWbun_PbTc/v-deo.html). There is more, but that to me is like the essential Ren pack! Also this Chinchilla song is amazeballs and she's worked with Ren alot : Fingers Live for Hunger TV the videography on this is awesome (at least I think so but I'm just a nurse lol) (ua-cam.com/video/KK56SwMFzdc/v-deo.html&pp=ygUKY2hpbmNoaWxsYQ%3D%3D)
That’s a pretty decent order. I didn’t do the Tales until after SB and CO
And the renegades are amazing they will come so fast
Thank you! I loved your reaction! Ren is just one of those once in a lifetime artists and a very large number of people have been able to relate to his music on a wierd cosmic level lol Go Renegades!
Love your reaction to this song. It certainly hits.
Excellent understanding. Welcome to the world of an artistic genius.
🔥all in for Ren.
Wow... your reaction was everything ❤ tysm for reacting to Ren! I listen to this song daily to help get me out of my depression. Ren's songs have saved my life and my son's life. He will forever be inspirational and he's just as beautiful on the inside as his songs are.
What a great way to wake up in the UK and see a brilliant in-depth and perfect reaction to such an Iconic track, he truly is one of a kind. There are so many many other amazing Ren videos ( don't like to worry you but there are over 250 ( inc The Big Push ) and they are all Must's)
Thank you for reacting - Renegades
you being a video editor, I can see you absolutely liking Ren's story of Jenny and Screech (full video)
I agree.... you have to react to Jenny and Screech!
@ dehro yeah and money game 3 as well, can't start at 3 though can he ?
Im paused at 4:30 just to say I'm super excited for the rest of your reaction and the many more to follow with Ren. Can already tell you're going to love this trip!
"Oh! We still have..." 24:30
Yes, we do.
Thank you so much for your reaction, both clearly very professionally informed and also profoundly human.
Was waiting a long time for you to react to Ren! And boy was not disappointed. I really hope you will continue this amazing journey as you haven’t even touched the surface. Will share this with Renegades so don’t be surprised with views and comments 🖤🖤🖤
You have pointed out so many things no one else has! Thank you for your reaction to this video. Very educational. I’m even more impressed by Ren and his team now.
I love the waves of new reactions to Hi Ren because there are always a handful that are renegades, they just don’t know it until now, like RIGHT NOW! There’s so much symbolism in RENs music and his videos. Everything is purposeful without ever being contrived. He is incredibly talented and has been through so much with his health ( physical, emotional and psychological). He’s incredibly intelligent, especially emotionally. His ability to connect with so many people on different levels speaks to his authenticity as a human being. Yes, this is art. And like art it’s meant to be shared and to evoke emotions and spark conversations. Ren is a multi instrumentalist, a singer and songwriter, a poet, a director, a screenwriter, an actor, and we love him just for being Ren.
This was incredible, I really love the format at which you broke things down. A lot of times with either music professionals or cinematographers much of what gets described completely goes over the layman’s head and I thought the way you explained uses of lighting in this and that was so simple to grasp and I’m really excited to see your next video.
Intelligent reaction. Thank you sir.
What is it that makes me enjoy people watching this video for the first time so much.
I think it's because almost everyone seems to pick up on different things and also the overall message, it's really a phenomenal piece of art that I'm still not bored of after 2 years
Dude you're in for a treat. Lesgoooo!
Great reaction so glad you found Ren he is a talented artist hope you dive more into his other videos. Welcome to the rollercoaster of Ren. ❤
I've been watching reactions to Hi Ren for over a year, addicted. Most are focused on the story. Your reaction is the first to help me understand all that went into producing the video. I saw, for the first time, the alternating facial illumination, the shadow play, the chaos/control hemispheres of the room, how the size of the background lights mirror the part of him speaking. Also, the angle of the shot reflecting his gathering strength. Thanks for an excellent reaction.
Loved your technical point of view.
New sub here.
Can not wait to be a part of your journey.
4:33 No one expects the Renish Inquisition!
Ren is a Gift to Humanity from The Universe.....subbed for your Ren journey
Buckle up....
I loved your insight to the videography behind the video. I've seen hundreds of reactions and nobody has ever explained the lighting, depth, shadow etc like that . Brilliant.
Found Ren 2 years ago. Still on the Ren train.
Have fun!!
This video was filmed in a basement they found. They got 4 takes done before they were discovered and had to leave. The video is mostly one take, with extras cuts from a handheld. It was all recorded on a lav mic and guitar pickup. What Ren can do with 4 lights, a guitar, wheelchair, and a lav mic is truly astonishing. Checkout Murder and the Tale of Jenny and Screech for more of Ren’s cinematic genius.
Oooh do Ren's Jenny and Screech trilogy next would love to see your analysis of that!!!
Renegades unite! Welcome to the rabbit hole. You're gonna love it. ❤
welcome to the renegades , and thank you for your honest impression . be prepared for many suggestions all of them beautiful .. many tragic and a few with social conscience on par with this ,, Ren is a true treasure.
He has given voice to many. You will continually say "I didnt expect that" He is an incredibly versatile talented artist.
If you react to it, we will come. Welcome to the Ren rabbit hole and the Renegades.
One thing I like to point out narratively is that there are three voices. Himself, his darkness, and hope. The yodel that hope does was how he started the song. We didn't hear from hope until the end, but hope was there the whole time and came out when the darkness grew to overwhelm his self. So we may not hear it, but there is always hope.
I love the miss minutes shirt! Also, your reactions are awesome :D
*chants with the other renegades*
Gooble gobble gooble gobble, we accept you, we accept you!
Gooble gobble, gooble gobble, one of us, one of us!
Great reaction, welcome to The Reniverse! I get a feeling you're gonna let your mind be blown by more Ren 😉 subbed 🙂
"This keeps getting better and I don't know how!"
Welcome to the world of Ren!
I've watched an embarrassingly amount of reactions to this, and you pointed out things I never noticed!
What an awesome reaction!!🔥 👏 ❤️ As a Renegade I've seen hundreds of reactions to this song, and you did it splendidly!👏 Many of the things you noticed and pointed out, I haven't heard others react to at all!
Thank you for a job very well done!
And welcome to the Reniverse!😁 Subbed in hope of more Renactions!❤️
REN and NF videoclips are just perfect for your channel!
Definitely art. Him doing it in one take was masterful. Do more Ren!! ❤
Oh, I’m so glad I saw your first, but definitely not last, REN reaction. With your field of expertise, you’re going to,want to clear your calendar when you get to The Tales of Jenny and Screech. I can’t wait to see it. 😊
One of my favorite reactors reacting to one of my favorite songs? No way! This was amazing
What a great reaction. Subbed for your Ren journey.
Absolutely loved your reaction. 15:55 don't hate saying it's beautiful because it really is. It's a piece of art - it feels like an archetype to me because it's absolutely essential for many people. I certainly found many aspects of this that gelled with me in ways that knocked me sideways on first viewing. His bravery and honesty are absolutely treasures, never mind his talents.
And just like that, a new Renegade is born… 🖤
wow i loved your reaction!So nice to see people find out about Ren!Welcome to the Renegades!!
I do so enjoy witnessing the birth of a 'Renegade'. It never gets old. 👍
"Your channel has 27.8k subs as 12/13 when this video was posted." Taken from another comment. 6 hours later = 28K subscribers
and I'm one of them. That was a really excellent breakdown of the artistry thank you! I hope Sam sees this reaction.
Excellent reaction, my friend! I've subbed and can't wait to see what you think of his other vids. I recommend "The Tale of Jenny and Screech" (13:31 version) next... you're in for a ride! 😁
Love the reaction, and the shirt! On two fronts already, you're obviously a man of culture 😉
You have now entered the Ren Rabbit Hole. Prepare to be amazed. 🐇🕳️🖤
OMGGG, PLS ALSO REACT TO MONEY GAME PART 3 AND THE WHOLE TALE OF JENNY AND SCREECH BOTH BY REN🥺
Also can be really cool see you react to sick boi, animal floww and basically every other ren songg
@ or kujo beatdown! You have to know the story a bit to understand, but once you do its so amazing!
Visually this tells a story just as much as the lyrics. This performance is always a dream for film professions to react to.
It never feels like 9 minutes, it's so intense. It gets me every time, no matter how often I see this. I always laugh a little when reactors exclaim at the 9 minutes before they watch the video.
And then grin when they proclaim, 'This isn't music: it's art!' Bingo! 🥰
Great reaction…would love to see you cover more of Ren.
Terrific reaction!
Thank-you so much for sharing your insights on things I've seen, an embarrassing amount of times, without ever noticing.
A wonderful amount of cinematic insight.
Subscribed and really looking forward to you seeing the Money game trilogy, due to their theatrical presentations, two of the three at least.
Enjoy!
🤕🥰😃
He is a UNICORN 🦄
Great reaction/analyses! Love that you both appriciated the storytelling, the deeper meaning and also picked up on all those visual cues and explained how they are relevant. I was a bit worried that you would get so drawn in that you only would comment on one of the aspects, but you certainly delivered. This is one of the best reactions to Hi Ren I've seen. (And I've seen lots!)
Next, pls go watch Jenny, Screech and Violet's tales, they are a trilogy and should be seen in that order and if possible in one sitting.
I hope you have time on your hands since this was an awesome reaction and the Renegades come out in FORCE!
Can't wait to hear your video breakdown perspective on more Ren videos! Great reaction!❤❤❤
Please keep going down the huge Ren rabbit hole ! He isn't only a musical and lyrical genius and inspiration, he is an experience !!
I subbed for more Ren. Can't wait!
