      This video was not done in one take. The cuts can be seen and the cinematographer Samuel Perry-Falvey himself clarified the question in the comments for Jonathan Hiller's (Filmmaker Reacts) reaction to Hi Ren. It's a masterpiece nonetheless, no need to go around saying that this was done in one take. Many of the other videos like the Tales are in fact one-shot videos though.

    Spot on. He called this genre bardcore himself :). He does many genres actually, has many rap songs (checkout Hunger, Genesis, Sick Boi from his current album and many others in the past), has rock stuff with his band The Big Push, he also has lots of eclectic stuff mixing hiphop, rock, blues, reggae among others.

    Seven minutes into this video, NOBODY wants it to end. Even after countless viewings. Same way with your reaction; I'll be immersed in it again and again... and scouting for your others.

    I have been watching Ren busking live for seven years and he is never less than captivating.
    I have, therefore, watched loads of Ren reaction videos and yours is definitely one of the top ones. I hope you go down the Ren rabbit hole to truly appreciate his versatility, talent and singing voice. I suggest watching him busking with The Big Push and also Chalk Outlines (live).

When i first heard this song I couldn't stop listening to and no matter how many times I do listen that last verse when he stands up and goes through the hope sequence I can't help but tear up every time but at the same time kinda healing. I probably don't makes sense but it is what it is. Thank you and keep up the reactions pls

    What I love most about Ren, as a middle aged white Australian boi, is he has introduced me to reaction videos that I'd usually have no connection to. This world is actually pretty tiny if you can remove the bull shit prejudices we learn and take on as we "evolve". Humans are generally good, but fuck me, we are easily pushed into a direction we dont necessarily agree with. Comfort isnt necessarily your safe space.

    I love you said Bard ! He honed his skills busking for over a decade in England. All the while being horribly ill.,misdiagnosed for many years they told him it was in his head and drugging him incorrectly. He is still working on his health, but he has some amazing films and several albums with the band The Big Push. Check out Jenny Screech trilogy. Money 1 & 2-Sick Boi-Power .it’s a deep well ☮️

He is a modern day bard - for another masterpiece of storytelling check out The Tale of Jenny & Screech (FULL VERSION) - your mind will be blown. But he can sing, sing (How to Be Me, Chalk Outlines & Live Performance with Sam Tompkins-Improvising around Stevie Wonder) and rap, rap too (wanna hear bars and flows check out The Hunger, Power, Genesis, What You Want, & Losin It just to name a few.)

    Your comment about being a bard is spot on. Also just clicking to what others are saying in relation to Bard-Core. Ren does have a layer that reminds me of some wonderful 'folk' songs - with his brilliant skills on the guitar. That is music that tells the stories that are both beautiful and often heartbreaking. So many influences rolled up into a very talented musician.
    Enjoy the Ren ride. Only just started the ride in the last couple of weeks - all brilliant.
