Another lighting detail, when he's saying, "I don't feel so well..." he's lit from above with what looks like a spotlight. He doesn't feel so well under the glare of the spotlight.
The "Illest of Our Time" video was actually filmed in the summer of 2022 in an abandoned department store in Brighton, but not released until this year (on Ren's birthday on March 29).
@@murder13love Watching Ren's video he looked dressed for cold, but someone wrote it was summer time. Well that information you wrote about it being freezing in the U.K. never made it to our weather station. I prefer weather with temps way under 80F for weeks it's been up into the 90'sF. I live in south eastern Florida in the good old crappy USA. Most of the U.S. has higher temps this summer than at any other time since. Other part of the world is also having hotter temperatures. I guess the U.K. is one exception. It is still summer here July, always hot anyway. So sorry you are having cold, and I still say I wish it was cold here sometimes. We do get cold winters but very rarely and never dangerous cold.
That's dope that I can provide some insight to things like that to ya, it's what I fell in love with a long time again and I've never scene film the same since lol
This is one of my favourite Ren tracks - I’m a Prodigy fan and I love the Prodigy vibes in this one. Was interested to see what you would make of the transitions in this video - thought you’d love them. Really enjoy the videographer’s reaction to these videos. Ren wrote somewhere on his community page about the shoot itself - it sounds like it was a really interesting experience. Thanks for another great reaction 🔥
@@joeesparks7 if you can find the post about the shoot, definitely check it out. Sounds like quite a high pressure shoot especially with the time constraints they had.
Ren said in one of his twitch live feeds or interviews that there is the possibility of a collaboration with the prodigy in the future 😮 also prodigys new track with Kasabian - fuel, is absolute 🔥🔥🔥
@@SkaterWillsy yes, think he mentioned in his Twitch feed after the Illest premiere that there was a possibility of a Prodigy collaboration. Would love to see that come to fruition. Yes love the track with Kasabian too 🔥
@@dancerbird76 @joeesparks7 th-cam.com/users/postUgkxjm1NWtfnZFFzEJY0gbHNUKmVpkfm5dKE in case somehow in two weeks it hasn't been tracked down. (i'm always late to the party.)
Surprised you didn't mention the "clockwork orange" references sprinkled throughout this video. Right down to the bats and the use of the word "hooligans" to his wardrobe choice. They aren't super obvious and direct references. Just little subtleties, you can tell he drew inspiration from that film.
I definitely got a mix of influences throughout this video - Clockwork Orange, Fight club are definitely two huge ones..the lighting & composition in this one really caught my eye! Sam is a majorly underrated artist imo. Always give him props when I can.
Cool break down man! My dad was a videographer and television engineer for a major T.V news network for 40 years and he saw broadcasts the way you do..i understand these lighting artistic skills because of watching TV with him..but ive never heard someone else describe it that same way...good stuff
Great insight. For a video that's showing a dark, dirty, grungy and derelict setting, you've managed to show all the beautiful set ups and imagery. All about perspectives and your videographer background is a refreshing take on these reactions. Side note: how about showing us your Funko Pop collection? 👀
What I love about your reactions, well one of the many things, is I've seen most of Ren's videos too many times to count and then you come along and start pointing stuff out that I didn't notice previously, or it didn't stand out as much until you explained it. You're forcing me to work on my attention to detail and I'm totally here for it. 👊👊👊
Shoot, missed the premiere and had to catch the replay today. Dang job, expecting me to work and stuff. Lol. Great reaction! Love the light/shadow analysis!
Joee nailing it again my guy I actually have the lyrics tattooed round my neck ( If everything is set in stone then this is how it’s meant to be) anyway keep it 100 brother👍
Ren had said that “Murderer” actually came before “Animal Flow” so the man in the trunk is actually the same man tied up by the pig in the beginning of the Animal Flow video
I have to take a breath too. I get really nervous even though with Ren, I know I will like it at the very least but in all probability, I will love it.
So I like your take on how the vids are shot I love the falling in reverse ones alot man you need to cheek out band maid best rock band in the last 30 years imo there song domination is mind blowing.
I think (in the cage fight) it might be REN in the monkey mask. Just looking at his muscles on his back & shoulders. Yeah, I’m looking🙄😇 But I could be very wrong. Just watched Murderer, so had a recent memory of his physique.
Thanks to you, I’m learning to recognise and appreciate all the skill and work that is invested into these amazing music videos. Here’s to all the unsung heroes, who help make Ren’s work top-notch 🍷 😊
Joe E, you can frame by frame on TH-cam! Simply pause (I recommend Space on the keyboard to avoid messing with a mouse) and then Comma and Period advance or go back one frame at a time. You can also use K for play/pause and J and L to jump 10 seconds back or forward (helpful for jumping back a bit to avoid missing transitions).
Thank u for real...I have since this video figured them out I still have a cpl handfuls of reactions where I'm stumbling still so bare with me but really I genuinely appreciate ya pointing that out in case I hadn't ulya know👊🏽💯
You can go frame by frame on TH-cam Videos. Useful keyboard shortcuts for TH-cam - "Left/Right Arrow" = Back/Forward 5 secs. "" = Frame Back and Frame Forward. And of course the classic "Space Bar" for Play/Pause. Essential shortcuts for Film/Video Aficionados such as yourself 🎥😃👍
I’m new to paying attention to lighting, so thanks for drawing my attention to the gorgeous lighting of Ren’s profile the roof (with the catch light on his right eye). What a stunningly lit image. It’s pure art.
You're definitely one of my favourite reactors - you are just a gentle enthusiastic guy with great humanity - and your comments on cinematography are so interesting. Your subscriber numbers are growing - so happy to see that ! Keep going
Joe E, I love you so much, you're clearly educated about cinematography, but there's just something about your genuiness & warmth. I just wanna hug you! 🤗
Another 🔥 reaction and of course banger by REN. I love hearing you analyze it from your videographer perspective, because I see things that I never would have noticed before… and I have watched this video many many times lol!!! I would love for you to react to Penitence at some point. The track is amazing and the video is very interesting….
❤ everything about this video just epic thanks for the professional review 🙌🏼 one of my favourite parts is when he says I’m a rap star sitting down and the masked lady goes to drink the Stella the way she moves it is dope. Also 4 5 6 crucifix flashing bit dope !! The match cut is ace too ! From his nude top half to his white outfit matches the tune so well 🎉. Master class in transitions they’re all so slick 🙌🏼
Once again this one was shot last year in 2022 before ren went to canada. He prepared so many videos in advance knowing he is going to be away for some time.
Peace Joe E, this is a fav. Rens lyricism is crazy. I recognized well known names in this rap/song he's so good with words. I always enjoy your break-downs, especially when you are talking about lighting...🔥☝️
Hey Joe E, another great reaction to Ren. Love the way you catch the things in the videography that I don't see. Great to see all the reactors helping me learn a little more.
Hey Joe E, just saw you on Black Pegasus. Now I’m here to watch you fall down the Home Free rabbit hole. The song he was mentioning is the Butts Melody remix. And of course they redid boys to men. But no song they have done has ever been bad. All great. 90 plus that I can think of but Tim Faust (the base, but he can sing tenor too)has his own too and duets with Austin (main tenor). Austin’s has his own too. You can’t go wrong. Even Rob and Austin have an opera song that will leave you shocked.
This might be the only video ever that had Ren's lyrics right for a while 😂 He is a rapper, a bard, a spoken word poet, a goofball, deeply emotional and has a very down do earth attitude. He also has a (some might say) rebellious view on politics (his songs Crucify Your Culture, Money Game 1 and 2) but he never disappoints. He knows his stuff and always pays hommage where it's due whenever it comes to hip-hop. Just prepare to not be prepared...ever 😂
BP did the Ren Interview. You should try to get the Sam interview to discuss videography techniques used in some of the shoots. Compare notes and exchange tips and tricks. Just a thought ;)
I knew you'd have a ball with this man. Loved it. Big love from Spain. PS. When you said "uno más"; it should be "una más". Cause it's one more time, and "una vez más"... "Vez" is feminine. Keep them coming!
Another lighting detail, when he's saying, "I don't feel so well..." he's lit from above with what looks like a spotlight. He doesn't feel so well under the glare of the spotlight.
You did not sing “double entendres” to the tone of Back Street Boys!!!!!🤣🤣🤣💀
Dude, you’re relatable af! Love the vibes✊🏼🤗
The "Illest of Our Time" video was actually filmed in the summer of 2022 in an abandoned department store in Brighton, but not released until this year (on Ren's birthday on March 29).
Looks like it was a chilly summer last year. A big change from this year huh? I would love a cooler summer.
@@adam.4487sarcasm? 🤨

"Double Entendres, yeah..." That's going on repeat right next to Ren hollering "Murderer!" in the cacophony of my brain now. 😂😂😂
Yes, I know that this isn't a reaction to Murderer. Don't judge my messy stream of consciousness. 😂
Well done my man! REN IS A BEAST!
I really appreciate you pointing stuff out like the Rembrandt triangle. It is fun to learn new things and appreciate videos more.
That's dope that I can provide some insight to things like that to ya, it's what I fell in love with a long time again and I've never scene film the same since lol
Thanks for a really good reaction. Love that you delve into lights, cameras, etc. I'm learning a lot from you 😊
Thank u Helena...if u learning then that's extra dope🙏🏽💯
Love the Video commentary - attended CFVI (Colorado film & video institute) years ago in Colorado. Love the lighting tips!
Let's goooo videographers from CO

Man I love your reactions
You are so in to it, I watch you get so so immersed
It’s so cool man

I feel like all of REN’s music hits like a Swanton bomb 😂 love that reference when he throws it in.
Love love love watching you break down rens videos! Its so fascinating seeing how someone with an eye for cinematography sees them 💜💜

This is one of my favorite Ren rap songs
Careyann and this was Rapitty Rap stuff
Learning about film theory while listening to Ren seems like too much fun for a weekday😂❤ love it

Great reaction again Joe! Love watching along!
I live yall watching along with me too
There are so many callbacks, self-references, snd double and triple entendres in this song. Definite favorite.
What I love about your reactions, well one of the many things, is I've seen most of Ren's videos too many times to count and then you come along and start pointing stuff out that I didn't notice previously, or it didn't stand out as much until you explained it.

Crazy, them thinking they can put u to work😂 nah but thanks anyways my g
I learn so much from your reactions Joe E! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us and for doing it in such an enthusiastic and enthralling way. ❤
Loved your oooo as the body of Ren morphed into the same pose.
Joee nailing it again my guy I actually have the lyrics tattooed round my neck ( If everything is set in stone then this is how it’s meant to be) anyway keep it 100 brother👍

This is one of my favorite Ren songs and videos. It's so delightfully chaotic and bombastic.
Thanks for the awesome reaction Joe E! I love this track❤️🔥❤️🔥
I love it too
Ren & Bibi "Crutch". Best lighting. He was in the middle of his sickness and he made this beautiful song.
I have to take a breath too. I get really nervous even though with Ren, I know I will like it at the very least but in all probability, I will love it.
This was such a GREAT reaction.
You were Joe E the teacher and I LOVED it.
So I like your take on how the vids are shot I love the falling in reverse ones alot man you need to cheek out band maid best rock band in the last 30 years imo there song domination is mind blowing.

It really surprised me when I saw you reacting to this. I thought you must have done it already. Another great track. 😊. ❤
Hey Joe E, another great reaction to Ren. Love the way you catch the things in the videography that I don't see. Great to see all the reactors helping me learn a little more.
You got me looking at lighting in every day stuff now. Whole different pair of glasses to look through.
Also, that was a record for “pause” moments.
It's very cool watching you analyze things as they go along and watching your reaction, it's just great
Thanks again for the analysis of the video. Love the tech breakdown which helps me understand the effects in all music videos 👍👍👍
There's a back story video of this abandoned department location and how Ren and choose it for the filming of The illested of our time. Look it up.

Congrats on hitting 10k! Well-deserved 😊 Would love to see you react to Ren’s Children of the Moon from your videographer perspective.
Love your insightful views and descriptions of the videography process and all the little things to look out for.
Ooo! Have been looking for someone to breakdown the videography! Love this!
Would love to see you interview Sam!
I learn so much from your video. You are the best visual breakdown person for Ren's videos. Awesome]
Great to see that you hit 10k subs in so little time. Love your reactions. Keep on being you and many more will follow.
Dude, because of your background in film, I would LOVE it if you reacted to Mute Math "Typical." It is my favorite music video EVER!
Great to hear your insight on these videos! Gives a whole new perspective on how good these lads do!
Another stellar reaction! ❤

Fascinating, I learned a ton of things!

Great reaction man🙌
Go to his community to hear the story of the making of this video its crazy.
It's a Bar-ffet for sure! ❤
I love your reactions bro. And yeah I do feel every time I see a ren video i need an extra breath before I start it 😂😂
yup great video again. work rate high
Fantastic reaction man keep it up
Love this video! Great review!

Really love your reactions, this tune is awesome! 🖤
I totally want to see your video and explanation man
Love this video,and definitely pick up the Prodigy influence here
Love it
I knew you'd have a ball with this man.
Loved it.
Big love from Spain.
PS. When you said "uno más"; it should be "una más". Cause it's one more time, and "una vez más"... "Vez" is feminine.
Keep them coming!
