Cinematographer Samuel Perry-Falvey's efforts should not be overlooked.

Fun fact! When he’s talking to the camera and flips the table, it’s all one shot . The lady is next to the camera guy who is sitting where she would, and when he gets up, she sits down so he can flip the table and yell at her. Love the way Ren makes his videos. You need to watch the trilogy of Jennys tale, screeches tale and violets. Has to be in that order. Oh! And watch his chalk outlines live. So beautiful.

Thank you for another Ren reaction with your filmmaker take on it. Many people here hoping you'll react to his Jenny/Screech/Violet trilogy, and I'm certainly one of them. There may not be loads to analyze in them from a film production angle but the way Ren spins a tale with just himself, a guitar and a cameraman is truly worth checking out.

Did you notice they used the same room as 'Hi Ren' just removed the lamps then adding the mirror & sink? It was slightly colorized differently, maybe to reprsent different segments of his brain or memories or even different time periods.

I love how his verses are only said in his mind and not out loud. It reminds me of my experiences sitting in a doctors office after struggling with a problem for a decade, working myself up to challenge a wrong diagnosis, and then when the moment comes just nodding and accepting their authority.

These Samuel and Ren videos are really outstanding I think. Thanks for hosting them! Tales of Jenny & Screech might be the camera mans best work.

Others have recommended The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full) and just wanted to chip in my vote for that one as well! It's 3 parts, each one shot live in one take with just Ren, his guitar and the cameraman with a handheld. There are so many interesting choices made from a film perspective, would love to get your take on it!

I think your the first person specifically to dissect music videos from the filmmaker perspective, honestly I love to see it. Incredible new window into appreciating the art

Man, been so looking forward to your next Ren video analysis... such a different perspective from most other reactors... nice one. I just waiting for you to react to the Jenny/Screech/Violet (full) trilogy... the one take wonder is at it again... storytelling on a different level

He has a BTS of the table flip on his IG! He's RIDICULOUSLY talented!💯 🔥🎶😎

His very skilled cameraman is called Samuel Perry-Falvey

Another interesting detail is how, shortly before Ren gets up from the table for the first time, the camera (shooting from his perspective) slowly pulls back from the therapist to signify the dissociation he feels as she's prattling off a one-size-fits-all regimen. And I love love love the transition at the end of that first chaotic walk around the room--after all of his agitated body language and lots of camera movement--he gets back to the table, the camera stabilizes, the frenetic energy visibly leaves his body, and he fluidly collapses into the chair to continue the scene. It's fantastically well-done.

You need to react to 'Ren - The Tale of Jenny & Screech (Full)' it is a trilogy story and a masterpiece

Samuel Perry-Falvey is the cinematographer for Ren's videos. He's in Ren's song Power, driving the car. The room looks alot brighter from seeing the filming Ren has posted. The Pig represents everything like capitalism to big pharma we're told is good lol.

Your different perspective really is insightful. I reckon you'll really, really dig his trilogy: The Tales of Jenny and Screech, the Full version. The planning to film the walk-throughs of the city streets as a single shot and tie them in to specifics of the song is mind-blowing to me.

Ren's BIRTHDAY 29 MARCH (1990) ...Don't forget guys and gals !!!

Thank you for your reactions Jonathan. Thanks to you I discovered NF and Ren and I fell in love with their music.

Awesome reaction...ty for supporting rens work.👍

I really like how the camera backs away when Ren starts throwing the chair and table around, just as you would instinctively do when someone grows suddenly violent.

You know you're gonna have to do the Jenny and Screech trilogy (Full) now.

Just recently discovered you. Bingeing. Such great analysis. Thank you!

You should check out Chalk Outlines too. Simpler overall style of film, but feels so intimate.

The neon over the mirror highlights the mirror we all need to be looking into.

Watch "Jenny, Screech, and Violets Tale" it is just like a film.

Great react! The one you have to see is REN's 'The tale of Jenny & Screech' (Full Version) It is a modern-day, bard-like Shakespearean play in 3 parts. True story telling and a visual feast to boot! you won't regret it! :)

This one was another very interesting and intimately filmed Ren song from several years ago. Ren Ft. Bibi - Crutch kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ac1zZc6im6uZfaM.html&ab_channel=Ren

I'm fascinated my Ren's work right now. Once again, thanks for helping me better understand what he's doing visually.

You took us on a journey there. Enjoyed it, thank you

Your take on Ren is so interesting, you should take a look at some of his older videos like 'Crutch', as this will show his creativity and how to produce a music video with no budget.

Love watching your vids. Would love to see your take on an older one. The band is called story of the year song name anthem of our dying day

I love how the table is wiggling too it won’t be still to provide stability he craves even the table is unstable. Ren thinks when he does visuals in videos love creativity

I wonder how many songs this man has stuck in his head at the amount of music videos he's reacted to

The song lyrics about the hypocrisy of smiling at him while telling him he is sick speaks to me deeply I've been seeing councilors on and off since I was a little kid and it's hard to describe just how awful it is to have someone sit there smiling at you telling you how you are unwell. It feels like your a broken person and they are looking down on you.

something most people missed is when he's doing the breathing exercises "in and out" when he inhales, the shot is out of focus, when he releases the shot focuses giving you the feeling of chaos to clarity for a moment.

Love it! Keep the reactions coming!

I love that you point out that's art, because it is art put to music!

This was very interesting, thank you! Can't wait for more Ren reaction videos!

Another great reaction and love the analysis of the video and how it's done!!

I always enjoy your Ren videos.. Thank you.

loved this video and how you broke it down :D

It's fascinating to see the video production through the eyes of someone who understands it. I always learn so much from your analysis! I'd love to see you discuss Money Game pt1 by Ren. So many reactors have struggled with the symbolism, because it's a bit more abstract. A family friend who is known for his surrealist/dadaist work helped direct it, I believe. I think you would enjoy Ren x Chinchilla 'Chalk Outlines (live)', too, though it's less cinematic. The simplicity makes it very powerful.

Nice.. New sub here in Australia

I love how yo explain it all. It just adds to the depth of the work done in the video.

Nicely done, sir! I very much enjoy your perspective as a filmmaker on these reacts.

Thank you for your unique perspective on this amazing song!

New scrubs, scriber, and I really enjoyed your reaction thumbs up

The quality of your videos is incredible. Congrats! If you can, check out THE DEATH OF PEACE OF MIND by Bad Omens.

Another fabulous reaction. Thankyou, I love seeing your take on Ren's work from the film makers perspective because there's a lot going on ,it's all very cleverly done to send the messages it needs to. 💗

Motto. Motto. Motto. Motto.

I absolutely love your responses to Ren's videos. Thankyou so much for what you do Jonathan.

I like listening to you talk, you give me knowledge

Love the filmmaker take on the videos. Ren is amazing

Awsome video

I really enjoy these reactions, very unique view even though I have no real interest in being director but cool to learn tricks of trade.

@Jonathan Hiller I love your channel it even made me want to go into the film making industry. I can see the love you have for this field . HUGE FAN of what you're doing, and I can't wait to see more of your work If one day you have a chance, the Lumineers - Sleeping on the floor is also done very good according to my taste also a HUGE FAN of NF

Another great reaction Sir. I like the completely different perspective on this track. I get the feeling that your viewpoint on Ren - The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full) will be special. It appears that many people are requesting that you cover the trilogy and I'd like to add myself to that ever growing list.

I'm fairly new to both Ren and your channel, and I'm enjoying both immensely. I'm drawn to your channel because you bring my 2 favourite art-forms together: music and film. And in regards to Ren I've been really impressed with both his music and the filmmaking. This one hit especially hard for me as I relate to both the medical issues and the frustration with the world/system we were all born into and conditioned upon. I'd love to see you do Ren's "The Tale of Jenny & Screech (Full)", which is a trilogy of tracks/films (about 13 mins long). The creativity and hand-held camera work in that blew me away. At times it almost feels (to me) like they're using a dolly track, but they can't be as I'm fairly certain that each of the 3 films are done in single takes. Edit: do you have a movie reaction channel too? And if not, is that something you would consider doing?

With your insightful eye and broad knowledge, you capture things that others may miss... Which is great. You just gotta do the tale of Jenny and Screech (Full). It has sooooo much going on in the 3 videos that Ren has put into one flowing YT video that tells the 3 stories in order (essential that they are viewed in order, you'll see why). I for one would appreciate your insights. I have subscribed in the hope that you'll react to it and because I have enjoyed your analysis of the first couple I have watched now. Good work.

Thanks for your analysis! I can interpret his lyrics, facial ques & body movements, but I have no experience from a filmmaker's perspective----you added a perspective(s), a lens through which you view Ren's art that I was unaware existed----well done & much appreciated ♥ Liked & #NewSub 👍

Ok, I'm here and locked in. Proper addicted to your analysis and anything ren or nf. I beg you to break down "the tale of Jenny and screech- full" Money game 1 and 2 And chalk outlines. All by ren and all astonishing and unique.

The tale of Jenny and screech is definitely something you should watch!!!

Just started watching your reactions to Ren! I was wondering if you saw the small behind the scenes video for this song? It shows how they did the part where he throws the table

The tale of Jenny, and Screech (Full) which includes Violet's Tale. This is a must see.

Great commentary! I'd love to see a video about your thoughts/reaction on Imminence - Heaven in Hiding

Always love your insight. They have a behind the scenes here. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m698fLaS3tmRZJ8.html The woman is Mia Mottier. She has done a few projects with Ren.

I would love to see you review the new nf song Motto. Regardless of if you do or not I have to say I really love your content and wish you the best

This REN guy is amazing! What a talent and very creative. Tom Mcdonald has some songs you could react too. Videos are crazy too.

It's filmed and performed in the same room as HI Ren

I don't know how popular it would be, but if I could suggest "Free Spirits" by an artist called Sadistik. It's really weird and I would really love to see someone deconstruct it. Song is a banger as well 😍

Why am I balling my eyes out?

Hey Jonathan I really like your content and LOVE you react to those awesome music videos. You should take a shot from a german band called Electric Callboy. The "Pump It" and "We Got The Moves" would be interesting from your perspective. "TEKKNO TRAIN" as well. Gives me the Snowpiercer vibes.

A lot of people don’t notice this was shot in the same room as Hi Ren

Another great reaction man ✊🏽 Have you checked Jenny, Screech and Violet the trilogy yet? It's a work of art....

New NF video‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Hello Johnathan, I have just come across your channel and truly enjoy you insightful information on how to set moods through cinematography. I would like to see you review a music video called The Story of One Sky. It’s 13 minutes long so it’s more a short film, but it is scored, sung and acted by the singer named Dimash. I would love to hear your review and reactions to the techniques used to merge the cinematic with the vocals.

Hey, there’s a new NF music video coming out tomorrow, I’m hyped to watch your reaction!

I would love to see your reaction and thoughts on is tales of jenny, screech and voilet, its an amazing story.

"The Drug in Me is You Reimagined". Get on it. You will love it.

I would like to recommend the trilogy of Jenny's Tale, Screetch's Tale and Violet's Tale. They especially highlight his storytelling skills.

Wow just discovered your channel and love your take on those music videos. Really gives an interesting insight. I have so many recommandation for you, maybe you want to look at one of those two: Sabaton - Bismarck (well probably every sabaton video, they are one of the most stunning music videos i know) Rammstein - Deutschland

You should react to Blinding Lights by The Weeknd. It has some of the best cinematography i've seen out of any music video. It is like an actual movie. Thanks! Great reaction btw!

Awesome reaction. I think you would enjoy the music video (and song) by Sabaton, "Bismarck". It's about the WWII ship that took the seas by storm. The music video is insane (literal ships, I believe) and the storytelling is awesome - including the music. :)

You gotta do MOTTO by NF!!! He invited fans to come be a part of the music video!

Hi! Just found your channel and love it. Ren did recently relese a new one called Animal flow. The video is incredible. I would love to hear your thoughts

You would love his video for the tale of Jenny & Screech

Imminence - Ghosts Would be a great video for you to react to! they spent a lot of time and effort on their music videos and really tell a story.

Jenny/Screech/Violet (full) Next please.

great Reaction 😊 did anyone notice that he uses the Word BOI with an I? Google the Meaning of BOI 😉

there is some Footage from the Shoot on his Instagram.

I don't know if you have done much animation. Linkin Park released an old song that would be interesting to hear your thoughts on.

Jonathan...are you okay? I haven't seen your reactions lately. NF Motto...Happy coming in soon!

You should definitely check out some cinematics from League of Legends. Absolutely stunning VFX and animation, fantastic music. "The Call" is my personal favorite

Watch his band The Big Push doing Heroes, David Bowie cover, great video as well 😁

Прости, нет времени переводить) отличная реакция от отличного парня! спасибо и успехов

you should react to James Blunt Monsters if you havent seen it yet. :) love your content!

Ren said Sick Boi is a prequel to Hi Ren.

You should check out outrun myself by Jack Kay’s

You need to do NF MOTTO next!
