As a hardcore NF fan and a filmmaker myself I enjoy watching these videos and seeing someone give Nate the appreciation he deserves for all the work he puts into his music videos!

[@itsjonhiller]

🙏🙏🙏

[@SGT.BROKEN]

NF IS THE FIRST MUSIC ARTIST THAT DESERVES AN OSCAR FOR BEST PRODUCED MUSIC VIDEO 💯

[@itsjonhiller]

👌👌👌

[@nathandts3401]

Korn comes to mind.

[@nathandts3401]

@ReneidKlein The Follow the Leader album has chained music videos. They're all impactful by themselves, but they really work by leading in to each other.

[@perving247s]

Ronnie

[@Hexo210]

AGREED

[@shayden2kzz]

The crowd was really fans, I was one of them. Got to see Nate in his element. He has a lot of input on the video making process. He was not thrilled about having to have fake sweat put on lol. But the cheering was us really cheering. Patrick wanted to add a fake cheering track to amplify it but Nate was not a fan so he said he really needed us to cheer like we do at his shows so it can be authentic. And not in a demanding way but more like pleSe can you help me make this happen. It was so fun seeing him shoot the transition at the end too!

[@jeremymartin9827]

It was tons and tons of jumping and more jumping lol

[@brianholloway_DP]

I was there too!

[@itsjonhiller]

this is awesome!

[@dave_blanketchip]

oh wow i didn't know that. interesting, considering When I Grow Up is the first NF song (except for let you down ofc) that i've heard :>

[@rubenpeters928]

How many Nf fans on here have a hard copy of moments album he was handing out in car in this video? Bought mine off him in 2010 for 10 bucks in highschool.

[@pinkham_productions]

The "orders" at 3:25 were clues about the next album release. The use of the music box sounds throughout just give it depth when Tommee drops those bass hits!

[@Lyxtra]

Yo, that's sick. I've never noticed that before

[@taylorwhitt168]

I was there at the concert type scene. It literally took about 2-3 hours to just shoot that small little part. I loved every bit of it and NF is actually pretty funny. Was shot in Nashville, Tennessee

[@brianholloway_DP]

I was there too!

[@Lyxtra]

That's really cool 😎

[@Lovely_1108]

I Would’ve LOVED to be there!

[@Logan-gb7uy]

I love the transition at 4:47 cause he still keeps the same enthusiasm and excitement wether its 2 people or 2000 people

[@JustinBarney-rh3xq]

BTW, the food ticket NF grabbed said "TIME 7/12/19 MIDNIGHT EASETERN": A hint at the next song that he was dropping. Another tid bit, the crowd for the final scene was an invitation to fans to attend and be a part of the music video (awesome to see how much he appreciates and puts out for his fans)

[@amberf2545]

There’s also another invitation for his fans to be apart of another video! 👀🖤 Nashville TN week of the 26th! Wish I could go…it’s awesome that he includes the fans in this way!

[@BrysonSappingtonMusic]

I love your reactions to the videos themselves. It's great to see someone actually break down the videos and show us what is going through these director's minds

[@cthurbz5146]

Agreed!

[@itsjonhiller]

thank you!

[@morganselina9936]

I never get sick of watching people react to NF; his songs and videos NEVER get old! Thanks for another great video!

[@itsjonhiller]

🙏🙏🙏

[@aaronallsbury9238]

NF I never get tired of him he’s so talented and underrated

[@voiceplayz6184]

After watching your videos, you are my favorite reaction channel. It's genuine. When you get excited it feels like you really get the chills down your spine and that's what I look for in reaction channels. Keep being awesome and you will leave your presence on KZbin.

[@itsjonhiller]

thank you so much for this!

[@all4myaden]

I am so glad that NF is getting reactions for his beautiful videos! It’s obvious that he puts so much work into EVERY aspect of his music.

[@ITSXSOLAR]

“You can call me whatever you want, but never forgetful” -NF NF is amazing his songs are like art. I can’t believe I never heard of him until last year (2021) so sad but still his music is amazing. Totally deserves an Oscar for his music videos

[@JustForFunpost]

Man your channel just like refresh reaction channel,continue nf reaction❤

[@itsjonhiller]

🙏🙏🙏

[@brianholloway_DP]

I was an extra in the concert scene at the end and it’s really cool to see how the video turned out after the fact. Nate was so awesome to 500 or so fans that came out.

[@thekillswitch3329]

The guy makes me see music videos and movies from a whole new perspective. Thanks brother

[@thisismyhandle27]

The transition at the end when he is the bar with two "fans" watching and it cuts to the concert venue packed with Fans going nuts! Gives me chills every time!

[@livetoshredgnar]

I’ve watched this a million times & only just noticed at the end his very faint joker smile.. the chills!

[@Horrble-pg1so]

I think you will appreciate this. the receipt he grabs at 3 minutes and 26 seconds of your video says "Time 7/12/19 Midnight Easter" which is the exact time that the song "Time" was released. and in the back seat the dude holding the CD titled Moments was a call back to an old record of his

[@zeleniatdq]

I love the detail of everyone saying “I want to” while kid NF says “I’m going to”.

[@sownpeace]

Dang, didn't catch that. ha, funny. And he might not have been that - in other circumstances - but he would still be doing something big. He is a genius with strong work ethic, talent, and humor.

[@Lyxtra]

I just found you a few days ago and you're easily my favorite reaction channel. Can you please react to "This is America" by Childish Gambino next?

[@itsjonhiller]

thank you so much! will look into it!

[@samkern101]

I second this.

[@itsjonhiller]

@@samkern101 oh hey there ;)

[@cameronjadewallace]

When I grow up .... I'm gonna be Happy.

[@ImaCatMaia]

I'm loving all of your NF content - thank you!! 🤩😍💯👏 His production is so underrated and overlooked. He was just snubbed at the Grammys yet again! I'd be super interested to see what you have to teach us from his music video for "Outcast", puhleeese...? 😁 "I Just Wanna Know" would be a good choice as well - you'll see that his acting abilities are next level!

[@fleeni.]

love the simple and clear detail you put into the explanations! i personally love The Search by NF, both visually and lyrically :D

[@Ten16Media]

Keep it up man! Loving these!

[@platty5791]

Killing it with the daily releases! Keep up the great work :D!

[@beanzeani2440]

Love your stuff keep it up man!

[@jlyngee228]

we had goosebumps at the same time! he always knows how to multitask all his talents

[@paulbrackmann3971]

I love the work you put in. like the explanations, of certain things, what that does to the viewer and the examples you show (e.g. the light in this video). makes me appreciate music videos even more

[@Matt-vg7tr]

Yeeeees. I've been waiting for this one

[@009klakmen4]

Another great video! Keep up the good work!

[@apexforyou7338]

Love it!!! Keep them coming.

[@zemery9696]

Wanted to just say that I have been loving your videos man! I spent some time in school for digital media and now it's more of just a hobby, but I LOVE hearing a filmmakers takes and thoughts on different music videos! Please keep them coming!

[@calebstringer4475]

Wonderful video can't wait for the next one!!

[@drawingeagle1593]

man i love ur channel!! its so interresting

[@arcanesound9762]

That whole video I was just waiting for your reaction to the stage transition and it hit you just as hard as it hit me. So happy you're diving into the world of NF. Please keep it coming.

[@jcims]

You've got a treat coming up with NF - HOPE! Can't wait to see your take, it's a ride.

[@WARHAWKLEADER1]

You gained so many subs the past couple days it's amazing to see. I've never seen someone react to videos the way you do and it is hands down the best. Love the way you run the channel and your observations. Keep it up!

[@Zachary4952]

Amazing video as always! I’ll watch all your videos!!!

[@40WarlocksJulian]

I really love you reacting to his amazing work! Please do more :). Nf is my favourite artist

[@itsraahul]

That transition hum performing on a stage gave me goosebumps when I watched it for the first time

[@Yagirlkenzie05]

I knew you were going to freak out about that transition, I think that's something everyone just goes "OH MY GOD" to.

[@Hexo210]

I love this channel thank you for doing this content

[@jamzeejam]

amazing video all nf fans will find your take very refreshing and honestly your doing a great work,

[@Arabella_Dance]

I love your videos, been trying to understand more about these higher production videos to do some more interesting stuff with my own content later

[@Frank-vo4jh]

Wow I just love your video's! Great to watch and I also learn a lot from you!

[@drumm3rjo3]

Love your channel! I have no formal training in film making, but try to learn a bit here and there on my own when I have time. I’ve seen NF’s videos too many times to count, but really appreciate your insightful analysis from your perspective. Helps me learn and appreciate the art of his videos in a new way.

[@iiFox11]

Dude!!! NF just dropped a new song AND IT IS A MASTERPIECE!!!! You have to react to it!

[@coachedbyadam]

Just found your channel. Subscribed and watched every video. Thanks for this. Great insights and very well done.

[@Rinny_Rin_Rin]

I actually love hearing your point of view on these music videos! Especially NF! It’s cool to learn a little more on what decisions are being made and why on that end of the creative spectrum.

[@senanemohamed]

I love your videos and reactions ❤🎉

[@JamesJakers]

I really enjoy your reaction videos and how you point out and explain the details. You have a great appreciation for your craft!

[@lizmercer3287]

Just discovered your channel. I absolutely love your clinical analysis. It’s a breath of fresh air. Please continue. Your behind the camera expertise adds something, I don’t know, extra, to the reaction/review. I’ll edit this comment when I have a better description. My dad was the crime scene photographer for San Bernardino in the 70’s and early 80’s. We had a dark room in the garage. You have an eloquent way of explaining backlighting, tones, ASA etc. Quite different and more entertaining than other creators on the platform.

[@yuricostache]

This is the best video of yours so far! Beautiful content, hoping to see more of your video from now on!

[@agnesai2917]

This was the first mv I saw from nf, I was literally mind blown of how good it is. Loving your reactions (especially the nf ones) keep going! 🤙🏽

[@katherinelynndaw3990]

I have to say you have the best reaction videos and doing them so much justice

[@joei.507]

Just subscribed! Love your reactions and appreciate your thoughts and insight.

[@jess_aaron]

I love the breakdowns you’re doing!

[@eyaskhabbas5394]

Glad you did this one 🔥

[@maineisbasicallycanada3236]

epic video as always

[@ThisisStephennn]

I can tell you really love nf. I'm loving these reactions. Ive binged them all today

[@bennyfajardo2135]

Once again, great reaction. I enjoy your input and breakdowns. Well done

[@Stevenandrewsiamges]

Cant wait for more

[@iRiselyTech]

So glad you took my recommendation! I knew you'd like those transitions and cinematography! May I recommend another video, but this time a band called Fleshgod Apocalypse, their music video for The Violation. Its a heavy song so something different, but the cinematography in it is amazing and tells a story much like NF's videos do

[@peterkovacs9061]

OMG YES MY FAVORITE ONE! i wanted to ask you to do this haha

[@DreadX810]

Absolutely hope you become huge on KZbin. Your content is great

[@FRLLI.]

I love your breakdown of videos. The way you speak gives an amazing perspective. Have a great week brother

[@BlutoToMars]

I actually just found your channel through this, and... I gotta say, I am very surprised you don't have more subs! This was great. I love how concise you are with your points. I'll be subbing and watching out for the next one. Good job!

[@Clear706]

Another great reaction!

[@littlejmusik]

Another 🔥🔥🔥 video

[@geliussun]

Loving the reaction and analysis! Just binged all your NF reactions, and it's really interesting to see what a filmmaker can say about these shots from the professional perspective. Also a new song by NF just dropped today and the MV is just unreal, definitely should check that out, would love to see you analyze it!

[@sarahslovely08]

Love the NF video breakdowns. You do a great job and you’re easy to watch 😊

[@georgejetson1379]

For a 'new' channel you are killin' it dude... U r so back lit legit... the frame will always fit.... Green screens 4 everybody... Let's GITTIT!!! ;)

[@gr8tfulgirl578]

Fantastic reaction! I can't wait to watch more!

[@ManMythMedia]

Holy cow your channel is blowing up! Great insights on these music videos

[@bonnieg4768]

Really enjoying your reactions and wonderful commentary on the filming of these videos. Thanks

[@toric6185]

I love learning ~ thank you

[@Overbakedbeans]

Heeeyyy he did another one! I love this music video. I'm glad Jonathan Hiller is reacting to this one as well as the other ones in the past.

[@backseatdriver406]

Really enjoying this content, It’s really helping me understand what I’m seeing in these videos. NF is one of my favorites, great job.

[@t.j.morris8385]

I love cinematography and these videos give great insight to NFs great music videos. I hadn't seen several of these, and your insight on the cinema side is great. Thanks

[@naored4515]

Really cool as always Many reacts are finaly people enjoying the content and trying speechlessly to send us back something, here you've pick up a line really cool and shed some light on work we don't always notice Already cross 10K subscribers gj

[@gabrielmagalhaes9150]

Amazing reaction🔥

[@Hirkakzhf]

I will never forget seeing this song live… one of the best memories ever absolutely hype got goosebumps remembering

[@ashleytunny]

He’s such a story teller in every aspect. I love having a deeper understanding. Thanks so much for sharing

[@Zwiizyy]

Bro I love your videos

[@OrdainedSound]

I hope you do some more of his videos!!

[@Mayberrymojo]

YEEESSSSSS! This video is so fun and exactly how I used to dream when I was young. Great reaction!

[@christopherirwin2451]

The song is super hype... but the real message is the very last sequence... so very dark and showing what's really going on in his mind/life. GREAT JOB! Love your camera explanations.

[@Supercockydudes]

I love the fact that for every NF video you react to, you seem so happy with both the music and the videos. Far more than you do with other artists. + Working with animation and Unreal Engine these days I learn alot from your reaction videos when it comes to cameras and cinematography. Can`t wait for your reaction on NF - Hope

[@zombiehillbilly13]

love to content keep it up

[@1xICExVIPERx1]

I enjoy watching your videos and you giving us Insight on what cameras are using camera angles stuff like that and you always do fantastic reactions yet another one

[@itsjonhiller]

thank you!

[@zacmcdowell2909]

Nailed another reaction!! Sheesh!! Have you not gained like 1000+ followers in the last couple of days?!? You are on your way!! Very much enjoyed being a part of the live Em reaction chat and look forward to it again, especially if I can manage an NF live. Keep up the fantastic work, people are going to gravitate towards this like crazy!

[@Rxclls]

patiently waiting for the quadeca reaction. cant wait for more videos!

[@Arya_Artz]

Yup u r really good.. found you a few days back and watched alp your vids... I was introduced to ren -hi ren from u and i really love it💖💖💖

[@calebkerney]

I just listened to an NF interview today where he talked about his love of movies and how much thought he puts into his music videos. Love the videos and I'm learning some things (also some reminders from film school) Keep it up!

[@tonywaitkus]

It’s wild how much you learn about cinematography on this channel. I’ve never noticed the cloud cover usage before. It seems kind of obvious now lol but I always thought it had to do with grading. Great job man!

[@austinschuster3669]

I just realized that the red head kid at 4:35 is the same kid from his new song motto.

[@sownpeace]

ha that's where I saw him from before!

[@gr8name568]

Hey Jonothan I really admire your daily upload schedule and it puts a smile on my face watching you daily give feedback on my favorite artist have a great day and continue doing what you are doing!!

[@itsjonhiller]

thanks so much! glad you enjoy them.

[@dcgreatman]

Can't believe your channel started less than a month ago, yet so much quality content put out and so many subscribers to show for it! I'd recommend I Just Wanna Know next, but Time and Wake Up are also really good videos by NF (although I get if you're trying to branch out from only NF videos lol), highly recommend watching those and can't wait to see your next video!

[@MarcoJPhotography]

Glad I found this channel early. I like how it gives another (and professional) point of view on vids I've seen so many times. On top of that, sound and vid quality is very good (obviously) and ur voice is very soothing and clear. Subscribed! Hope to see some Joyner Lucas in here as well.
