I have watched about 100 reactions to this song. I have never put together "Rain, rain, rain, rain" and the end of the song with rain coming in... Wow, Thank you for that! No one person can catch everything Ren put's into a video. A true genius...
@@matthewcollins5451 there was also a young fan/cinematography there that caught the attention of Ren and Sam lnline and was invited to the shoot and did the official behind the scenes video...name was wolf .um something i believe searching for name now...
What a powerful message in this amazing work of art stating in a way that you need to rewrite the old script running in your head and write your own definition of what success looks like. A definition that brings you happiness and fulfillment while only viewing money as a tool to reach your goal, but never viewed as the goal itself. Again, an amazing work of art plus an excellent, very entertaining reaction.
I have subscribed to so many Ren reactors that I was afraid to sub to any more for fear of 'subscription overload' but this one persuaded me to sub to your channel because you both open up on this reaction and expose your flaws and vulnerabilities - it's just so more authentic when you do!
Money games 3 was one of the most memorable premieres for me! What he did with Eden at the end! And all the riddles before it! Incredible! Deserves all the awards it's gotten😊
💰 I always see the dad as society itself, like you said teaches us to be a certain way and no matter how high you get it’s never enough, oh you’re only a millionaire not a billionaire. When you’re at the top you then get torn down. Great reaction ladies.
That's a good take, I never saw it from that perspective. I know society (really big gov.and up) wants good high paying tax payers to fill their greedy coffers.
@@kellyt5341 Yes, but don't forget that we are all a part of society. It consists of all of us, and it is the sum of everyone's actions that decides what it looks like. It is not a constant that can't be changed. "We are all part of this Money Game"
The powers that be want everyone to be greedy. To succeed today helping others is leveling the playing field, winning is the only importance. I love the line "we could build utopia if we were taught to use our brain". I agree the three most important Ren art installations are : Hi Ren, The tale of Jenny and Screech and Money game part three. Great reaction 👏
Back aboard the Fun Bus! You two seem to have a lot of joy doing these. Been waiting for you to do MG3, this is a biggie! You covered things well here, the links across his song catalogue are a recurring theme, I love the way he does that. So, only thing left to do is leave an emoji... 🚌💰
Ren is Truly a Once in a Multi-Generational Artist on the Level of Shakespeare. He is a Performance Art Master who blends music and character acting from all the styles over the last 500 years and makes it Modern and Relatable to all Generations even if normally you may not be a fan of whatever genre he is currently performing. From Location and Video Directing Worthy of Tarantino or Spielberg, to Lyrics Shakespeare would have been Proud to have Written, To an Emotional Performance on par with Marlon Brando or Morgan Freeman and the Musical Prowess of Jimmy Page or Eric Clapton and the Vocal Chops of Robert Plant or M&M! In Money Game Pt3 when offering His Solution to the Societal Issues he is showcasing, Ren stated "Mold will Grow upon the Surface and Consumes til it dies, and Our Fate could be the same without this Story to the Wise" The more I hear from Ren the more I realize his Solution is to be a Teacher Opening the Eyes of Millions with his Art and his Heart! And I think Ren's message is Crystal Clear. Ambition and Passion Without Compassion Will Cause the World To Burn! But Ambition and Passion WITH Compassion Can Save It! His Compassion is Manifestly Obvious and If enough of Us actually LISTEN to his words, then Maybe, Just Maybe the Human Race may Survive! 😎
Love you guys! Great reaction, as always.Also, did you notice that the rain overshot the mark a bit, and the female violin player got soaked, yet, it being one shot, she was consumate professional and stayed still!
This one was designed to be a one take but they had issues with the rain machine, so a single cut was made at the wheelchair. Ren also composed all of the piano past the point where he stands up.
It's almost a one take. There is one cut (as the camera passes behind the wheelchair) to relocate a mic from his jacket lapel to inside his tie knot (for obvious reasons).
@@sammyd8860they were already there… there’s literally a video from one of the crew members that show the exact scene. there is no cuts in rehearsals it’s straight in to it
There's actually a 2nd cut (Sam says so at an awards speech) when he takes the bag off his head. If you look closely, Ren's hair is wet when it first comes off (because it was like a tinderbox in there), then his hair is dry when the hood comes off. 😊💜
@@AlzoryneIve watched the extended version a few times. The last time after Sam mentioned the cut. Ren says something in there (can't remember exact words) about the 2nd scene or part. Re-watch it if you want. Watch the video where Sam says it. Or watch MG3, where it's clear once your looking for it. 😊 💜
Now, If you go back to MG1... You have... The Rain, (a storm coming) with Ren as the Establishment, protected by the poncho, Coiling the rope which controls "us", as Romain, "The population", plays along and obeys instructions. . The "Saint into a Sinner, Child into a Killer" from Part 1 (Meet Jimmy) (Political interlude....) . When the people gain sight..... The "Storm" (Reckoning?) comes the way of "The Establishment" which loses protection (The poncho removed) in part 1, mirrored in part 3 as Jimmy returns home during his storm, also without protection. The Establishment "burns" (Also ref "Number 10 Downing Street" in Part 2) .... Revolution? Jimmy takes his own way out. . Part 1: The System. Part 2: The method. Part 3: The Example. . Collectively, Genius.
Hello Ladies! Your Texas Boi here for another intriguing & hilarious episode of the Slice Girls!! Great insight and always enjoy the chuckles. Keep doing what you do, I am totally here for it! Cheers and positive vibes to you both! 🙏🏼
Also the strings follow the intro well the theme as he mentions the cookie jar 👍 listen to that part again😂😂 it took me a while but now it’s so clear 🇬🇧🇺🇸🔥🔥
Slice Day!! Ren Day!! Slice Day!!! Ren Day!!! Let's go!! There is 1 cut when the camera goes behind the chair because they had to get thing ready for the water. But for each part being like 4 minutes each. Still extremely impressive!!! But what else do you expect with Ren. As some people have said already in the chat. Knox has some behind the sense in his video, but Ren also did a behind the sense video on the channel. Definitely recommend. 💲💴💵💶💷💲
It’s has been edited cleverly to look like 1 take by Sam but it a has three cuts, in the first in front on the mirror sweaty Ren from wearing the moneybag hood while playing the intro piano, the middle till the back of the wheelchair, then 3rd string quartet plus this “isn’t entertainment” with the later indoor rain. Still it’s amazing and the most expensive Music Video Ren has created so far. It’s a masterpiece. 💲💸💰💵💷💶
This is not a one take there is a cut behind the wheelchair, Ren only had the one suit and they did not have time for the floor to dry if it went wrong. Did you notice the violinist on the left did not play at the end, her strings got wet from the "rain" There is a good behind the scenes video of the making of this that explains all this and the use of a real gun and amo.
Love watching your Ren reactions. I believe this wasn’t a try 1 take video. I think there was a cut when the camera moves around Ren in the wheelchair before revealing the strings. The water sprinklers meant that could only be one take so this was split into two parts as the water right at the end. Non the less this music video is a true work of art. Renegade for life:)
"Money can't buy happiness" is a false statement, really. I think the saying should be "Money doesn't guarantee happiness", as it's much more accurate to what people usually mean when they say the sentence.
This was filmed in 2 parts... When the camera passes behind the wheelchair was the split so that if the rain went wrong, they wouldn't need to redo all of it...
Good morning ladies! We're here! Finally! Money Game Part 3! This is a masterpiece of a music video. Quite possibly the best music video ever produced, or at least in the top 10. Time to do some deep diving for you! There is so much to this one video, but a majority of it can be seen in a very special 2 hour 28 minute behind the scenes video recorded by TheWolfJohnson (a fellow reactor, but more importantly, a poet and literary wordsmith) during the production of the video. You'll see an awesome cameo by Knox Hill as he was spending time with Ren during its production. The BTS video is here: ua-cam.com/video/HIjF5g5eDDU/v-deo.htmlsi=pv8y3x8DF1OSTD-N Some information not shared within that video... The piano he is playing on at the very beginning is a 2023 Yamaha black grand piano worth over 100,000 USD and gifted to Ren BY Yamaha themselves as a way of saying thank you for being who he is. As far as we know, he did have to return it after the production was over, but it's an incredible gift. One of the best grand pianos you can get in the entire world. The entire budget for the video is the single most amount of money he's ever spent on any production at the time or since: 25,000 USD. Most of his videos barely cost a couple hundred bucks to produce so it's literally over 20 times more money than he's ever used. The composition and arrangement of the piano and strings were done by Ren. The lyrics were written by Ren. The direction is by Ren. The cinematography is, of course, by our amazingly talented Sam Palvey and Square Sun Studios. The piano is performed by Ren during the first roughly 40 seconds. He plays, initially, a Ren version of Eduard Grieg's Piano Concerto in A Minor, Opus 16: ua-cam.com/video/fKfGDqXEFkE/v-deo.htmlsi=GEFx37D0vESV8ajG and then just before the Camera makes its 360 degree spin, he switches to his own composition. His close friend Charlie, a member of his production team and a friend for many years, is a classically trained musician and instrumentalist. He takes over for Ren and plays for the rest of the video. Ren didn't feel comfortable continuing to play its complex chords and notes during the video, so Charlie took over. A fantastic series of Behind the Scenes footage of practicing for the piano and strings can be seen on Ren's BTS UA-cam Channel @RenMakesStuff on these videos here: ua-cam.com/video/rCkh2Fu4iVg/v-deo.htmlsi=pAvjtVFKu4A2UpaL and here: ua-cam.com/video/o2Jnf9HC3wc/v-deo.htmlsi=HiyPNYu2QL5gVsJm The location is a warehouse at the property called The Secret Garden Party, where Ren had his first live concert in years earlier this year. The video was recorded during the late summer 2023 before Ren went back to Calgary for more treatments and the release of the Sick Boi album. The intent of Part 3, like Part 1 and 2, represents an element of Greed. Part 1 was the Systems/Government, Part 2 was the Methods/Intent, and Part 3 is the Example/Individual. There is only one cut in the entire video: the moment where the wheelchair stops, the camera pans over the back, and then returns back around to frame him and the strings quartet. The reason for this is primarily that the suit Ren is wearing is extremely expensive, the only truly custom suit Ren has ever had, and thus, he did not want to destroy the suit for multiple takes so they stopped production to make sure that the rain gear was setup and everyone had the correct positions so they could get the one take for the ending section correctly. Ren still has the suit, but it was costly to get it dried, cleaned, and fixed. The lovely and courageous violist on the far left got soaked during the rain sequence because the rain gear malfunctioned. She took it like a champ and kept her cool, but Ren was so upset about it that he thanked her and then paid for her viola to be dried, repaired, and her bow strings to be restrung out of his own personal pocket. It's the reason she doesn't play during that final sequence with the rest of the quartet. The bags over the heads represent the emptiness of all of us being a part of the 'Game', that we are, effectively, nothing important. We are faceless, voiceless, blind, deaf, and oblivious to its real functions and the noose around the necks represents the ties that bind us to that Money Game, that we are all stuck within its grasp. This singular video has won multiple awards since its release, including Best Music Video (multiple times), Best Direction, Best Cinematography, and Best Audio Production. I am certain that Ren will produce other exceptional, groundbreaking work, again sometime in the future, but when that will be, who knows? Only Ren. One of Ren's ultimate goals is to actually get a Netflix show produced that specialises in his exact form of storytelling, but involving other creators as well, like he does with his collaborations with other artists: a musical and visual theatrical performance that showcases how music and story connect so deeply. It would be akin to an anthology series where each episode represents different subjects or themes, but all done in live, one take, moments expressly for the purposes of intent like The Tales or Money Game. I really would love to see you ladies take on his busking videos next. He is SOO good and his work with his band The Big Push is fucking amazing. Truly inspiring and wondrous to watch. They are also just a damn good fun time. You will really enjoy it. It's also a chance to see the versatility and agility of Ren and his buddies. Anyways, as always, I appreciate you taking the time to read and I am super excited to see where you take your Ren journey. Much peace and love to you two lovely ladies! ^^
No BTS needed. You covered so much of it. Impressive. One detail you might want to know. According to Sam at his ECU awards speech, there was a 2nd cut. When Ren takes the bag off his head his hair is wet (it was like a tinderbox in there), when the bag/hood comes off, his hair is dry. When I look at it now, it's easy to see. I saved the ECU vid. Great job 😊❤
@@LiannaBabeli I heard Ren say that on his livestream too. Either not every take was like that, or maybe he doesn't count it for some reason maybe it's some other reason, Idk. But now it's easy to see. Let me know if you want to link to that vid.
What have you two done to me!!...now I just watch your stuff over and over...a 66 year old fanboy!...pathetic I know, but I is what I is! Cheers big ears.
I was so hoping that you would jump quickly to this reaction. Had to be done and dusted! A thought occurred? I occasionally get a good one? I've watched I don't know how many reaction channels, but I've never seen one that does a "from the cutting room floor" segment. Which I really look forward to and you should maybe copyright?????
@@SliceGirlsReact Omg nooo. I'm so upset lmao. 2 LONG comments too. I complimented Charlie, said SO much. Ugh your comment section SHUT ME DOWN. I would never miss a video!
it was shot in 3 sections, FYI. there's a cut when he takes the bag off in the mirror and there's another one at the wheelchair when the strings come in =)
Hey sliced girls. Renegade in the house. I just want to say without offending that I don’t like that one of you guys have seen the reactions. I suppose it’s because there isn’t a fresh instant reaction and discussion about the music or the video. There is almost a pre-empted thought to the reaction. And unfortunately, I don’t think it’s a present reaction.
So how do you suggest they fix this? Shall they "unsee" it or just not doing a reaction? I for one really like their discussion. Not all reactions have to be made blind to have value.
@@ancltube I just feel that they both should watch reaction the first time together not as individuals and then have the discussion. I feel the second is being lead a little bit on the reaction. In my opinion.
@@annanelahie4782 yall are getting a bit out of control in what you require from every reaction channel. If you were a true fan of the channel, you'd know that the whole basis of this channel started because one wanted to share ren with the other. Been like that from the start. Don't watch if it's not your cup of tea. Renegade on the left can't go back in time and unwatch every ren video the 100s of times she's watched them. And if you were a fan of the channel, you'd know the reactor on the right who hasn't seen the video yet welcomes those types of conversations and heads up. Black pegasus, cliff, AR, qwency, qofy, the roadie reactor, the other guy who brings on guests, krizz kalifa, and many many others introduce ren to new people on camera showing videos they've seen and I'd bet you said nothing to them whatsoever. Just don't like when the ladies do it? Or is it just the ladies that you've got the guts to complain to?
I have watched about 100 reactions to this song. I have never put together "Rain, rain, rain, rain" and the end of the song with rain coming in... Wow, Thank you for that! No one person can catch everything Ren put's into a video. A true genius...
Also, Knox Hill has a video where he talks of the BTS to this. He was there with Ren while they were filming this.

Ren won 3 Awards for this MV at the 2024 International Music Video Awards in London.
Best Best Music Video 🏆
Best Concept Video 🏆
Best Director 🏆
If there's any justice, there'll also be some Brit awards in line for him on 1st March next year then yes?!
Also Ren and Sam won awards in Paris European International Music Video Directing
@@TheIamtheoneandonly1I think (not sure) awards will only include music from 2024.
What a powerful message in this amazing work of art stating in a way that you need to rewrite the old script running in your head and write your own definition of what success looks like. A definition that brings you happiness and fulfillment while only viewing money as a tool to reach your goal, but never viewed as the goal itself. Again, an amazing work of art plus an excellent, very entertaining reaction.
So so happy you liked it! 🫶🏻

.
The "Saint into a Sinner, Child into a Killer" from Part 1 (Meet Jimmy)
(Political interlude....)
.
When the people gain sight..... The "Storm" (Reckoning?) comes the way of "The Establishment" which loses protection (The poncho removed) in part 1, mirrored in part 3 as Jimmy returns home during his storm, also without protection.
The Establishment "burns" (Also ref "Number 10 Downing Street" in Part 2) .... Revolution?

Good morning ladies!
We're here! Finally! Money Game Part 3! This is a masterpiece of a music video. Quite possibly the best music video ever produced, or at least in the top 10. Time to do some deep diving for you!
There is so much to this one video, but a majority of it can be seen in a very special 2 hour 28 minute behind the scenes video recorded by TheWolfJohnson (a fellow reactor, but more importantly, a poet and literary wordsmith) during the production of the video.

As far as we know, he did have to return it after the production was over, but it's an incredible gift. One of the best grand pianos you can get in the entire world.

The intent of Part 3, like Part 1 and 2, represents an element of Greed. Part 1 was the Systems/Government, Part 2 was the Methods/Intent, and Part 3 is the Example/Individual.
There is only one cut in the entire video: the moment where the wheelchair stops, the camera pans over the back, and then returns back around to frame him and the strings quartet. The reason for this is primarily that the suit Ren is wearing is extremely expensive, the only truly custom suit Ren has ever had, and thus, he did not want to destroy the suit for multiple takes so they stopped production to make sure that the rain gear was setup and everyone had the correct positions so they could get the one take for the ending section correctly. Ren still has the suit, but it was costly to get it dried, cleaned, and fixed.
The lovely and courageous violist on the far left got soaked during the rain sequence because the rain gear malfunctioned. She took it like a champ and kept her cool, but Ren was so upset about it that he thanked her and then paid for her viola to be dried, repaired, and her bow strings to be restrung out of his own personal pocket. It's the reason she doesn't play during that final sequence with the rest of the quartet.
The bags over the heads represent the emptiness of all of us being a part of the 'Game', that we are, effectively, nothing important. We are faceless, voiceless, blind, deaf, and oblivious to its real functions and the noose around the necks represents the ties that bind us to that Money Game, that we are all stuck within its grasp.
This singular video has won multiple awards since its release, including Best Music Video (multiple times), Best Direction, Best Cinematography, and Best Audio Production.
I am certain that Ren will produce other exceptional, groundbreaking work, again sometime in the future, but when that will be, who knows? Only Ren.
One of Ren's ultimate goals is to actually get a Netflix show produced that specialises in his exact form of storytelling, but involving other creators as well, like he does with his collaborations with other artists: a musical and visual theatrical performance that showcases how music and story connect so deeply. It would be akin to an anthology series where each episode represents different subjects or themes, but all done in live, one take, moments expressly for the purposes of intent like The Tales or Money Game.
I really would love to see you ladies take on his busking videos next. He is SOO good and his work with his band The Big Push is fucking amazing. Truly inspiring and wondrous to watch. They are also just a damn good fun time. You will really enjoy it. It's also a chance to see the versatility and agility of Ren and his buddies.
Anyways, as always, I appreciate you taking the time to read and I am super excited to see where you take your Ren journey.
Much peace and love to you two lovely ladies! ^^
No BTS needed. You covered so much of it. Impressive. One detail you might want to know. According to Sam at his ECU awards speech, there was a 2nd cut. When Ren takes the bag off his head his hair is wet (it was like a tinderbox in there), when the bag/hood comes off, his hair is dry. When I look at it now, it's easy to see. I saved the ECU vid. Great job 😊❤
@@sigally I thought Ren said it was just the one?
@@LiannaBabeli I heard Ren say that on his livestream too. Either not every take was like that, or maybe he doesn't count it for some reason maybe it's some other reason, Idk. But now it's easy to see. Let me know if you want to link to that vid.
@@sigally I guess so! Thank you for the update. Yes, I would love to see that video. Thank you.
@LiannaBabeli I'll link it for you but if YT doesn't let me, I'll just give the title.

What have you two done to me!!...now I just watch your stuff over and over...a 66 year old fanboy!...pathetic I know, but I is what I is!
Cheers big ears.
We appreciate you!! 🖤
💸 I miss #morestuff, though i prefer the older font for that. I like the new font with the names though.
more stuff is still around do not fear!
I know you guys like Knox Hill and he was on site for most of this and helped with some of it
💰♟️
It's "BARDCORE"
I was so hoping that you would jump quickly to this reaction. Had to be done and dusted!
A thought occurred? I occasionally get a good one? I've watched I don't know how many reaction channels, but I've never seen one that does a "from the cutting room floor" segment. Which I really look forward to and you should maybe copyright?????
Interesting idea 🤔 🫶🏻
Time for a Slice of the Girls?
LOL
I just noticed, on the last couple videos i dont think my comments posted??? 😭😭😭
We thought you abandoned us!
@@SliceGirlsReact Omg nooo. I'm so upset lmao. 2 LONG comments too. I complimented Charlie, said SO much. Ugh your comment section SHUT ME DOWN. I would never miss a video!
it was shot in 3 sections, FYI. there's a cut when he takes the bag off in the mirror and there's another one at the wheelchair when the strings come in =)
No, Ren confirmed it is only the one cut on the wheelchair towards the end. The bag moment is literally just a dramatic moment.
?
Continuous at the mirror, Cut behind the Chair to position the Quartet, etc.
This song is so about Hunter Biden.
Hey sliced girls.
Renegade in the house.
I just want to say without offending that I don’t like that one of you guys have seen the reactions. I suppose it’s because there isn’t a fresh instant reaction and discussion about the music or the video. There is almost a pre-empted thought to the reaction. And unfortunately, I don’t think it’s a present reaction.
So how do you suggest they fix this? Shall they "unsee" it or just not doing a reaction?
I for one really like their discussion. Not all reactions have to be made blind to have value.
@@ancltube I just feel that they both should watch reaction the first time together not as individuals and then have the discussion. I feel the second is being lead a little bit on the reaction. In my opinion.
You mentioned him ruffling his tie, before he did it. So, it was mentioned before it was seen by your cousin. That is just one example.
@@annanelahie4782 yall are getting a bit out of control in what you require from every reaction channel. If you were a true fan of the channel, you'd know that the whole basis of this channel started because one wanted to share ren with the other. Been like that from the start. Don't watch if it's not your cup of tea. Renegade on the left can't go back in time and unwatch every ren video the 100s of times she's watched them. And if you were a fan of the channel, you'd know the reactor on the right who hasn't seen the video yet welcomes those types of conversations and heads up.
Black pegasus, cliff, AR, qwency, qofy, the roadie reactor, the other guy who brings on guests, krizz kalifa, and many many others introduce ren to new people on camera showing videos they've seen and I'd bet you said nothing to them whatsoever. Just don't like when the ladies do it? Or is it just the ladies that you've got the guts to complain to?
