Video Editor Reacts to Billie Eilish - bad guy

#billieeilish #badguy #reaction
In this Video Editor Reacts, I react to Billie Eilish - bad guy. This was such a different style for her!... Until the end. I loved the creativity and production techniques used throughout this music video. I am always a fan of reacting to Billie Eilish, because she puts some serious thought and effort into her music videos! I can't wait for the next one!
Original Video - • Billie Eilish - bad gu...

[@LimeSlimeee]

this is probably the most unhinged music video you've watched 💀

[@annelisebarrett9930]

The color is a very purposeful choice. Billie has synesthesia and "sees" her song in a specific color. This song was described by her as Yellow.

[@christopherpitcairn8617]

Fun fact - the rapid clicks that play under the chorus are sampled from the sound that plays on street crossings here in Sydney (they're there for people who have sight issues to signal it's safe to cross)

the invisalign thing was actually something they said as a joke when they were thinking what the opening track should say to introduce the album. so they referenced her taking her invisalign out at the beginning of this video, but then it was so funny they actually seriously used it! you can find the video from her documentary of them actually saying those things with the laugh and everything by the way please react to when the party’s over or all the good girls go to hell next! i think you’d love them

[@nomadine85]

“Milk bowl mouth scene” 😂 personally I classified that scene as “cereal water boarding”

[@nomadine85]

Billie too is an award winning music video editor. Grammy award for this video, in fact. She edited in on her mother’s laptop. The perfect beat cuts and movements are one of my favourite things about her, she choreographs her videos like a dancer and a visual creator and a musician and a poet all in one. It’s so cool.

[@13dma1rz]

As a video editor you should know that Billie edited this on a laptop. And this was several years ago.

[@cattinkerbell4946]

It's not a tiktok song. But it was #1 back then and was played everywhere. :)

[@kotn3l]

LET'S GOOO more Billie!!

[@vp4744]

Good reaction. A minor detail: you keep saying "they did the transition", "they did color", and "they this" and "they that". There is no "they" in Billie's videos. it's all her. She does the color grading, transitions, cuts, and editing. This was her first MV for which she borrowed her mother's MacBook and used iMovie. She hosted a full plenary session at Adobe Conference where she covered these topics, which might interest you as a video editor. Final fact: bad guy won the video editing Grammy.

Have you literally never heard of Phineas ma'am?😂

[@vp4744]

@@Jsv_1021O4 Finneas does all the audio side. Billie does all the visuals. We are talking about video editing here since the reaction is by a video editor. It says so clearly in the title of every video on this channel.

[@lillm6874]

You are wrong! Billie and Finneas was the composers, but it was Dave Meyers who directed it and Erik Wernquist who produced it😉 Billie did edit it though, but it wasn’t only her making this mv

[@vp4744]

@@lillm6874 It's still her ideas, her vision, her work, her aesthetic. Everyone else works for her, including her mother.

[@missliss2581able]

@@vp4744yes but she was not the sole director until the Xanny video and then all the ones after that

You should do When The Party's Over

[@abdullahenani9670]

Your facial expressions are GOLD 😅 I love seeing your reactions

[@mitcht2717]

Nice reaction . On THE ROLLING STONE channel, Billie and Finneas [her co-writing/producing] brother tell us about in a fascinating episode entitled "Billie Eilish and Finneas Break Down Her Hit Song 'Bad Guy'; but you got the gist of it - Billie was having fun with the idea that if others want to pretend to be the "Bad Guy" - a girl can do that, too - Billie was 17 at the time. The high hats are cross walk signals recorded in Sydney, Australia. In 'Bury A Friend" Billie has recorded her Dentist's drill and put that unpleasant sound in recurring spots in that song. I was trying to recall if there was any video that didn't have a dour mood to it or any heaviness at all - I think that would be "Bellyache" (official Music video)j released by 15 yr. old Billie Feb. 24, 2017 - it is however about a teenage psychopath and many reactors don't catch that in the lyrics at the beginning - perhaps 5 - 10% do. But the video is pretty upbeat.

[@Stinger_tbx]

Omg, it only took me 5 years but i just noticed that when she is rolling around on the ground she's wearing the same flower pattern as her Animated ("You should see me in a crown") video Not the vertical version... the animated full screen version Amazing every time i check out Billie I see or hear something new & and different Billie is Amazing! Thanks great reaction 👍 ❤

[@Stinger_tbx]

The clocks read 3:29 which is the release date of her album

[@braaogs6]

the fact that she edit that herself is insane insane

[@nialashkhia450]

We need more billiee

[@Jsv_1021O4]

The "do do do do" sound was a sample/ interpolation of the Wizards of Waverly Place theme song

[@vp4744]

lol

[@PokhrajRoy.]

You’re a GOOOOOOOD guy. Also, your reaction to Billie’s songs are great 🔥

[@akaLids77]

The time on the clocks is 3:29..which is funny..because the album that this song was on was released 3/29 (2019). The 5th anniversary of this album just passed.

[@jenniferhof9448]

You definitely need to watch When the Party's Over and watch the behind the scenes if possible. Also Therefore I Am is another bright one and was filmed on an iPhone I believe.

[@madelinewise8692]

All Billie's videos are her own vision. She told them what she wanted and everyone who worked on them helped to bring her vision to life

[@ididntknowtheyhadwifiinhell]

my interpretation is that it's about power plays and billie basically saying and showing that she'll play the role of someone who thinks the tough guys around her are intimidating, but really she's the powerful one. while at the same time having fun with it and not taking it too seriously. the red at the end isn't about her being bad, but just powerful and in control while the guy who would otherwise be a tough guy stereotype is fully taking his cues from her and the one being (literally) objectified. which is a reversal of most situations/assumptions/music videos

[@maurartsy2916]

love the billie videos. so many people look over them! they are so creative and awesome in their own ways. if you look more into it they all have so many layers. from her making them almost all on her own with doing the edits, directing, choreography, outfits etc. Her brain is amazing, how one cam come up with all of this amazes me, and the colors all have meaning due to her synthesisia i believe its called.

[@warhola04]

🤣🤣🤣 i just know im gonna love this reaction!

[@fubsk5563]

i really love your reactions, i've never been interested in video production, but i've watched at least half of your videos and i am impressed with all this stuff now, your attention to detail not only in the production but also in lyrics just cures my heart after a ton of reactors that don't pay attention to this, thank you for your great job, hope there'll be more views on your videos, you deserve it :)

[@Videoeditorreacts]

Thank you so much! This means a ton!

[@akaLids77]

I’d love to see you react to the Rolling Stone video about what went into making this song (not the music video) and what it’s about. Some really cool behind the scenes about the recording process and all that..with Billie and Finneas. I’m pretty sure if you just search Rolling Stone bad guy and you’ll find it.😊

[@wiktoriapaak1011]

yees, more Billie!!

[@joelriscanevo5386]

Please react to "When the party's over" is a incredible video.

[@luvely.fat0oom]

Cant wait to watch this!!!

[@SwiftieXinfinity]

Happier than Ever is one of her darkest and heaviest songs. It’s about her breaking away from her domestic violence partner (I’m not sure fictional or not). When the water finally comes rushing into the house, that was the moment he went too far and the dam broke. She made her escape & survived the storm. 🥺😔 Bad Guy is snarky and fun imho. 😂☺️

[@contentcreator2311]

May I throw Jain's videos into the hat with suggestions? "Makeba" or "Come" would be great to review as an editor. And they're both such bops! :)

[@courtneyrosebowman4200]

I believe the 'Invisalign' joke is in reference to all of the random sounds Billie and Finneas hear, record, and then use in their music. This particular song actually uses the sound from a pedestrian walk light in Australia.

[@nomadine85]

Every time you say “they” I’m like hehehe it’s actually her

[@nomadine85]

The flowers outfit with the matching shoes is by Murakami, I think, it kinda looks like his style from what I can glimpse. Billie collaborated with him on an animated music video for “You should see me in a crown” so she’d have access to such an outfit

[@Aly968]

Ohh my goodness it has been so long since I have seen this music video😢 Brings backs so many good memories

[@Mustafawadi0]

Lol, i have English exam tomorrow and I should study But i saw ur video 😭😭🤭❤️

[@Youmnaa444]

More of her please!!!

[@lyric-dawn]

I never understood this video other than Billie showing all the random sides of herself. Some things make sense, but others seem like Billie being like: this would be fun in the video and I’ll make it look cool and fit somehow. And she absolutely does!

[@alexandrudarius2121]

OMG IMAGINE THAT AT 14:43 SHE PREDICTED THE VIDEO FOR HAPPIER THAN EVER. EVEN HE SAID THAT THE ROOM LOOKS PRETTY FAMILIAR TO THE VIDEO AND ALSO THE TELEPHONE WHICH SHE WAS TALKING TO IN THE START OF HAPPIER THAN EVER IS THERE ON THE FLOOR

Please react to "Lovely" by Billie.

Your reaction when the video switched up at the end 😂

[@flp95]

I can't remember if you reacted to All the good girls go to hell, by Billie as well. I think there would be a lot to unpack in there from an editor's point of view

[@amandacourtneymac]

The thing in the right bottom of the screen in the last part is an old style land line phone that is off the hook

[@merlynfereira9631]

You need to do her song “when the party’s over”

[@courtneystewart8006]

"The Cheerios are red and yellow and green!" Huh, I wonder why they didn't just use Froot Loops that come in those colors. Really weird they colored Cheerios instead. Lol

[@SwiftieXinfinity]

12:37 Billie Eilish has a SUPER vivid imagination and she also has Tourette’s. I guess you could maybe compare her to a young Lady Gaga, although Billie is definitely her own unique musician similar to Gaga with a lot of edgy, artistic, shock & awe song and video concepts.

[@babalas2867]

You should react to Ren and his mv for Crutch.

[@mattaspey7554]

You should try and react to Earth by Lil Dicky for Earth Day on 4/22, it has various singers in it and would be fun to see you guess them.

[@bud8168]

Many scenes copied from photos in Toiletpaper Magazine. Don’t know if Bad Guy is a colaboration or a ripoff.

[@mitcht2717]

I have never seen any inclination on the part of Billie or Finneas to hide influences - I don't think it's a collaboration and I'm certain it's not a ripoff - that's an unnecessary negative insinuation, in my view.
