He is playing that, yes. The whole thing is a live performance, including the second pianist and strings, with one cut - as the camera moves behind the wheelchair after Ren collapses into it. He's a pretty talented lad. Samuel is Samuel Perry-Falvey, Ren's friend who has filmed most of Ren's one-shot videos. Also very talented.

Announced today he and Sam won Best Music video for MG3 at the international music awards.

Absolute masterpiece! Don’t worry about copyright you don’t need to flip or edit Rens work 🖤

Here's my take; along with factual statements made by Ren & others, on the messaging & performative aspects of Money Game Parts 1,2 & 3. Hope this helps you in absorbing the overall message Ren is portraying.✌❤ Part 1: is in the similar format of Ren's Jenny & Screen Tale trilogy & Hi Ren, which can be considered live performance pieces that are shot in 1 take.🤯 Ren has commented that this was his first attempt at this style of video production & it took them over 140 takes to get the shot right with the choreography & music to flow seamlessly. In essence, Ren is introducing everyone to the hypocrisy in the west & the seeds that have been sown around the world that created this money game & how we all live blind to it with a metaphorical money bag tied around our heads. 💰🤑💰 Part 2: is a studio recording with Ren & his videographer Samuel Perry-Falvey creating an artistic lyric video to assist in the messaging/storytelling. Pt.2 shows the money game through a narrower lens of corporate greed & government corruption & its effects on our present day society.🔥🔥 Part 3: Is Ren's magnum opus, once again returning to his one shot live performance format with Samuel Perry-Falvey behind the lens, but this time on a grander scale then anything they've attempted to date. Ren has even stated that this video in scale & technicality was his most ambitious project yet. Ren wraps up this trilogy telling us the life story of a single fictional character named "Jimmy" who was raised from birth in this money game mentality & therefore tightening the focus even more on this MG . Instead of just singing the hook "Point the mirror at ourselves, we're all part of this old money game" he chooses to show us through Jimmy's life & everyone around him who have their own money bags tied around there heads. 🤯🤯 Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber shared Money Game 3 on his Instagram and said Ren is one of the best storytellers he has seen in a very long time. Film maker Jonathan Hiller was blown away by the story, as well as the cinematography & choreography. By the end of the video Jonathan say's " this is the genius of Ren, by the end of the video his art transcended into a spiritual realm. Ren's use of negative space is captivating & MG3 was utterly transformative".

It's definitely a lot to take in, and also definitely worth another watch. Ren packs a lot into that video. It's worth another watch again just to appreciate the production. It's absolutely amazing the way he laid that all out in a single space like. Keep in mind he put this together from the other side of the planet while receiving treatment in Canada, before flying home to film it. His drive and ambition is unmatched. As for starring in someone else's show - Ren is actually working on a series with Sam that he wants to pitch to Netflix - Ren wants to be a director. These videos are a way to pitch his larger project - he's building his resume. These are like his sketches on a napkin for a much bigger idea. It's crazy.

Perhaps the best way of thinking of this whole piece is to think of a blank piece of paper. Away from this piece of paper Ren starts formulating a concept, as the concept forms he starts thinking of the right composition to accompany the concept both in terms of lyrics and music. He then puts pen to paper and starts transcribing his thought processes and voila, three months later you have what is in effect , both a score and a script. It’s really quite some feat for one guy who then goes on to direct the filming of the performance, in between doing the actual performing.

thank you for continuing to react and support my favourite artist ever the whole sick boi album is amazing and the first track seven sins is fire ❤❤❤

I not only agree Ren could perform in a LMM production, I think he could write such a production. Have you listened to Seven Sins yet? There is no video just a music track. The symphony is digital and his own voice is layered into a 1 man’s welsh chorus, I’d pay a lot to see it performed live.

I did enjoy your reaction and even confusion to this amazing performance. Ren just makes us all think in different directions so we can all have our own perspective to his message. Please do Eden as it is brilliant and current and needless to say it contains a powerful lesson to the world.

I was struck by your use of black and white for the observer and colour for the video you're watching ... I haven't seen that before of the countless reaction videos I've seen . Nice touch ! I enjoyed your reaction .

Awesome reaction! Look forward to seeing more!

This video and song is an absolute masterpiece. Ren is such a talented performer and storyteller. Definitely worth watching a few times to get the full impact. Also worth watching parts 1 and 2 to get the full impact, if you haven't seen them already. Thanks for reacting to this ❤️

So thrown off by watching runs on a piano with the video reversed... and then the titles come up and they're the right way around, LOL Thought I was losing my mind for a moment : )))) Well done o/ hahaha

Well done with the editing. Looking forward to more Ren reactions.

Girl, Lin-Manuel would be good in a Ren production. Hopefully when the Netflix series is up and running.

Dominos is a personal favourite still. Ren has away of touching your soul and needs more exposure 👍 thank you for reacting to his work ✌️♥️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Happy New Year 🎉🎊🥃

Thank you for your reaction! Subscribed 😊

It actually does have one break in it when the wheelchair is being turned, ren said that he only had the 1 suit and to get the takes right. You know, we make multiple takes trying to get through that whole thing. Without without an extra suit to change into is highly difficult. So to save from having to wait until the next day. They filmed up to there and then when they switched over, they took off the Mike and that's the only cut

You need to listen to the comments! Youre a singer... yet it seems like you never pick his sibging songs! Lol He's Far Far better than you can imagine! At 56, in the music game 40 years, i havent seen anyone like him! Please continue with more Ren!

The first time I heard Ren's Tale of Jenny and Screech months ago, I thought it'd be great for Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ren and Sam (his videographer) to collaborate on a Broadway or off-Broadway production or film. You're the first reactor I've heard mention that. Recently Andrew Lloyd Webber praised Ren's songwriting ability, and Ren was pretty happy about that. I think it's amazing that Ren can condense a person's whole life down to a nine-minute, bare-bones story and still make it compelling. Great reaction! 🤠

The opening piano part is actually a bit simplified adaptation from Edvard Grieg´s opening first bars of his piano concerto in A minor Op 16 And by the way ...you are lost because you didn´t watch part 1 and part 2...when you start to read a book or to watch a movie just in the last third part I bet you will be lost as well

Yes!!! Loved your reaction!❤ I often wonder if Lin Manuel Miranda has seen Rens work!! I imagine he would appreciate his skill! Ill be watching for more Ren reactions to hear your take on his other work!!!😊

Everyone's head is stuck in a money bag emoji blinding them😊

Thank you Jules! ❤

His catalogue is so incredibly varied, from the deep to the more light hearted singy songy stuff. I feel entertained by this guy and I can tell that you are too from your nice reaction. I personally am so drawn to him (and the Big Push, Chinchilla, etc.)....incredible artist who is genre bending, musical and lyrical genius. He makes us all go away and think about the deep stuff from time to time, although it isn't really that complicated. Intuitively we get the main thrust of what he says and with successive plays you might pick up extra little bits.

Yep he’s something special, we are so lucky to be living in the RENaissance.

It was a 1 take!! When the camera went behind the wheel chair. Simply amazing performer.

Hello, thank you, and Happy New Year!

The message to free you from the lost is, criminal money is ruining our lives

Why if the video backwards?

Ren is really something else! Great reaction

It's crazy how some people can take it all in on the first watch but others take 15 replays to get it and i thibk it comes down to hardship, an easy life or hard life mentality.

Thank you :)

I don't know, But I think Ren does his own staging, 'moving parts', camera angles on all his videos. Each video is like a separate piece of real Art.

The video mirrored from its original version is freaking me out.

Watch the tale of jenny and screech! It's fantastic

Thank you

For a more specific message in spoken word his video for Eden is worth a look for sure....he saíd in an interview with Eliz Z of The Charismatic Voice the ending is open to individual interpretation on GM3

Their seeing life through money bags . Banks used to transfer money in light linen bags like those. Filmed with one cut .

A good way to view Ren is that his vids are mini operas. GM1 and GM2 are the previews to this conclusion, like the Jenny and Screech trilogy

They used corn syrup as rain to show the "rain" sticking to Ren. The violinist accidentally got wet. Ren had to buy her a new bow. But big kuddos for her not reacting. Dont worry about copyright. He allows anyone to play them regularly.

Sooo, the question is can humanity get beyond our greed and desire for power? Or, are we "mold inside a petri dish that consumes till it dies"?

This story is about jimmy with exceptional talent that spends his life following what his father has told him. That money is everything and nothing else matters. Until he realizes different after its too late

Oh my God you live in a world of lovely. I would love to vacation there for about a week.

The hoods are evocative of hostages. The implication being we're all hostages to this system.

Crazy seeing this is flipped 180

❤

1 cut in the video, when the camera passes behind the wheelchair. All recorded live too, with lots of obsessive sound editing later.

So gorgeous, if I might say so. Don’t worry about absorbing everything at once. Some things can’t be rushed. It’s okay to be a little Freaked out. I was blown away myself. It’s the journey. That’s what it’s all about. Don’t need to land with everyone else You will figure this out, and from I gather, better than most No fear, nor apologies

Horror movie? Existential horror, yes.

You don’t have to flip, opaque or play around with Ren’s videos. He said “Feel free to press 'dispute claim' and it’ll all be approved and get rid of the copyright claim for you”. This is not a one-take but a one-shot with only 1 cut behind the wheelchair. Ren says it himself in this video - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fK2EdpSSx9Dbk3k.htmlfeature=shared&t=3135 around 52 minutes in. Behind The Scenes - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ecp1ebyBysybgok.htmlfeature=shared

Since you prefer singing over Rap, react to "The Big Push", a busking band he is a member of. You will be amazed. Start with the videos of the epic "Red Suspender" sessions (I Shot The Sheriff/Road To Zion/Hip Hop, or War Pigs). However, all band members are amazing musicians and you can't go wrong with any of their videos, as you can't go wrong with Ren. Just react to what speaks to you!

NO NO NO dont be a sheep HI KZfaq think about it your audience is not YT , KZfaq is a company

Watch Money Game 1&2

I'm not sure if you've heard the first 2 parts. If you have you'll appreciate the genius of that ending. The chorus from parts 1 and 2 is recreated, partly visually, without Ren singing it. The line before the chorus, in parts 1 and 2, "with his finger on the trigger of a money game" becomes the last line here. There's no chorus for Jimmy. Then you realise that the ending is not only a recreation of the chorus from parts 1 and 2, it's also a summation of Jimmy's life. This means that Jimmy's life is basically and expanded version of that chorus. Everything feeds into everything else. Genius! :)

One thing that is always missed is Ren making a case for women to play a larger role in a childs upbringing and against overbearing male toxicity. It’s a little insulting to say he should just be an actor in a musical. Andrew Loyd Webber said he was one of the greatest WRITERS of our generation. Sam who makes the video made this for 20k. He is not a performer. He is a writer and director not just a singer. All this came independently with Sam. He will produce, write, act on the biggest stages not this year but soon.

The Money Game Trilogy is a Modern Day Fable on the Evils of Greed. 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 Hunan Race may Survive!

IMO this song is the extreme of certain consequence where a child is trying so hard to earn their fathers approval and each time their father disapproves of what they is doing 'jimmy' goes to more and more extreme lengths! I think the character assumes all his father wants is for him to earn money but since he is going about it in such devious way he never approves and when he dies that pushes him overboard but when he is shot, he is brought back to reality basically saying that chasing money your whole life is going to end in a terrible way no matter how you approach it.

Not sure why the video is inverted, but great reaction, regardless.

OK, so if you only watched the third act of an opera, on your first listen, how much might you have missed? I think it's fair to say that while certainly not on any operatic level or scale, Ren has put rather a lot of thought, care and hard work into this trilogy, and I suspect that you might appreciate and enjoy the work even more by experiencing it entire. Nonetheless, I did enjoy your reaction very much, and look eagerly forward to more. Thanks!

Also, no need to flip the video. Ren does not copyright.

can you react a Floor Jansen & Henk Poort - Phantom Of The Opera | Beste Zangers 2019??

In tents

Youre lost because ya missed parts 1 and 2! You also missed his Singing! He is an unbelievably Great singer!!!

Try uninvited by ren

Truth bombs all the way

One last thing. I assume I sound like an unrelenting fan boy. That’s not it at all. I just see all expressions he makes on people’s face. My opinions were for me. Now I see they are mutually exclusive. Kinda strange really. But all the same. I’m so bizarre in my mental farm that I can’t believe I can’t relate.. but a singular person can do all tha. Still trying to wrap my head around thati wanna say more but it gets to TlDr

Thank you 🙏❤ @themcsyoutubechannel ❤ for your 🐷 Ren - 🎻🎻🎹💰🐚 Money Game, Part 3 reaction! #moneygamepartthree #ren #sickboialbum Samuel or Sam is Samuel Perry-Falvey, Rens mate and Filmographer www.youtube.com/@SamuelPerryFalvey . Ren has another great pal, also called Sam, Sam Tompkins who is a star singer with an angelic voice and reaching so many octaves seeming effortlessly. www.youtube.com/@SamTompkinsUK Yes, Ren was playing, the people in the money bags could hardly see a thing, only shapes. This is a one take until the camera passes behind the wheelchair, and from then on it is again a one take. The cut was necessary to transfer the brooch with the mike from the jacket lapel into a waterproof container in his tie knot. You can spot it there, when you look at it closely. If you want to find out how it was done, at the moment there are at least 3 longer BTS clips out, one by @TheWolfJohnson kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ecp1ebyBysybgok.html who later created an extended version the Renegades like even more kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fq-aeZiYmsuodIk.html and another by @Flackerzfotos kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gbOcYKSi1dLGpoE.html and there is an interview with Samuel Perry-Falvey here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9-hlat3vp_XgKM.html Funny thing: Ren has practiced loading a gun to death, but never learned how to fold a jacket. MG3 MAG Swap: kzfaq.info6v5BDHhDQDw

So it was done in two takes although it took multiple takes before they nailed it! The only cut is where you paused it. The camera cuts as it goes round the back of the wheelchair.

Why mirroring the video? there is no record company getting into you for copyright, if there is a problem contact ren and he'll sort it out. His "business" model is online promotion so you are helping him by doing this reacion. Nonetheless... enjoyed and liked ;)

I have nothing to say, apart from,I have nothing to say

Is it just me or is this video all flipped backwards I've see. This video a ton of times and everything video wise is flipped around its tripping me out lol. But yes ren your one talented smart individual.

Ren could be as big as the Beatles if he got some good management!! I could do it Ren.

new level of wtf

Had you watched 1, and 2, it would've made a bit more sense earlier.

You should have watched the first two mg videos first

Oh the way you flipped the video was so disorienting after having watched it as many times as I have haha .

STOP! Reversing the image??? It is not necessary..............

Greed. This world is ruled by greed.

Oh you reversed the video! A bit disorienting to see it that way, backwards.

Ugh, mirror mode video. Why! Why! Why? I hate it, really feeling like bailing on reactions that mess with the video! If you've not seen MG1 and MG2 likely you're a bit baffled by the context of things. But then you did do Violet's Tale before Jenny & Screech. 🤦‍♂ Well I find Opera hard to follow much more than this lyrical story, but I suppose it would help to have watched the first two videos, MG2 Lyric Video with its visuals makes it very clear. This video was released as the 'prize' to an online crowd source puzzle solving game that when solved a new video would play starting the next round of trying to solve the puzzle in it, the lesson of the game was revealed at the end for the 'winner' who had to travel to a location and make a choice. The penultimate video was 'Eden.' But there is a reactor who has a playlist of the entire game as played and each revealed video.

Your thumbnail was click bait. I was coming here to see what could possibly be cringe about this video

I have seen this video so many times, which is why your mirrored version really irritates and annoys me, especially because this measure is completely unnecessary.😉

As usual, you don´t have a clue.

Overly dramatic

You don´t have a clue. Do you? Another rubbish reaction.
