Video Editor Reacts to Billie Eilish - Bury A Friend

#billieeilish #reaction #buryafriend
In this Video Editor Reacts, I react to Billie Eilish - Bury A Friend. This is my first time watching this music video and wow... it was crazy! I love reacting to Billie Eilish because her music videos are SO well made.
Original Video - • Billie Eilish - bury a...

[@tom_j.]

The beat at the end is a transition into the next song on the album

[@kakashisxnsei]

And that's iloo milooooooo🛐

[@itsjennaskeetes7367]

Yess I thought I was the only one who noticed

[@vp4744]

Billie has been rehearsing these shots for this video all her life. She did the story boards for every scene, layout, costume, lighting, and transitions to match the song's beats. Nothing in there is an accident, including the street traffic lights that cast a haze into the room. She had several behind the scenes posts about this very music video. She showed her notebook in her NY Times interview that also showed her staging with her mother on their living room floor.

[@maniafigures3472]

She obviously got a lot of her ideas from Melanie Martinez. Billie Eilish has sang some of her songs and admitted to liking her art. The black eyes and tone of Bury a Friend is definetly Melanie inspired.

[@dannialexjayne7069]

@@vp4744ocean eyes literally came out a month or 2 after Mel’s first album.

[@dannialexjayne7069]

@@vp4744 oh I wasn’t saying otherwise I was just saying it is possible that Mel has been an inspiration or an artist she likes and vice versa since they started publishing music around the same time

[@AmethystCruel]

You HAVE to see Billies “when the party’s over” because the use of practical effects is incredible

[@divenvhymia784]

If your talking about the black in her eyes, she really did that there was no CGI

[@KBRoller]

You were pretty close with your interpretation of it being "Billie is the monster talking to herself"! A lot of her songs have multiple layers of meaning (probably in part because she and her brother Finneas write them together, so there's literally two different perspectives on every track), but for this one, she's said at least one of the inspirations was sleep paralysis. The idea of Billie's "sleep paralysis demon" talking to her and trying to understand her. The music video was just meant to be an homage to horror movies in general. She didn't direct this one; Michael Chaves did. But she had a ton of creative input, as always. For the upside-down bridge shot, you can find the behind-the-scenes of this music video on KZbin. She's basically sitting in a chair that has a frame around it, with the camera connected to and hanging down from the frame, pointed at her face. The entire chair and frame are attached to another frame by a single axel, so the whole thing spins her upside-down. The outro is part of the song, because it leads directly into the next song on the album, "ilomilo".

[@carolinalins]

She didn’t direct the ones from her first album but the ideas came from her, in her documentary you can see how involved she was, about angles, how she wanted everything to go, its crazy

[@mya.x._]

i think xanny was the only one she did direct from her debut album

[@lillm6874]

She directed: “You should see me in a crown” “When the party’s over” and “Xanny” from her first album. She also directed “Six feet under” and “Everything I wanted” from before her second album👍

[@vp4744]

Here's a video editing fact: Billie won a Grammy in the video editing category for editing the mv to Bad Guy using iMovie on her mother's mac book.

[@Videoeditorreacts]

WOW that's amazing!!

[@vp4744]

@@Videoeditorreacts Variety just released a video interview of Finneas with the gear they use now, in case you're interested. Their aesthetic genius overshadows, but they are real techie nerds when it comes to av do dads.

[@carolinalins]

It’s crazy that she was like 17 and had the ideas of the music videos herself, she said many times that shes a very visual artist and it shows 😅

[@horsehollerer]

Seriously! Actually, I think she might have been only 16 when this video was shot. Barely 17 anyway!

[@JulioCesarCostaJesus]

This music video was directed by the director of the nun 2,Michael Chaves, That's why it was so amazing

[@kellyhatchett2517]

"All the Good Girls go to Hell" video comes directly after this one. It ties into the needles in her back. It's also a fantastic video.

[@JRay.R]

Yay! More Billie, more Billie! (That’s a chant, if you can’t tell…and it’s not just me…it’s like, a whole crowd lol)

[@builderofdreams1]

yesss, more Billie, more Billie!! (I’m joining in the chant lol)

[@DoubleBlack2.0]

@@builderofdreams1 thank you, I was hoping somebody would join in!

[@robynekholm5610]

Yes! More Billie!

[@ty-foon2842]

I’m so glad someone is appreciating this masterpiece of a music video. Easily my favorite music video of all time and I don’t think it will be beat anytime soon.

[@tamironga]

Billie came up with the idea for the MV, she got the inspiration from the movie Babaduke

[@EncryptDIDAngelsNursery]

She directs all her own videos and has said recently in an interview that she'd love to direct videos for other people but she's just so busy right now, she doesn't know when she'd find the time.

[@Corpsarious]

I wanna end me this line is very deep whenever she says this line in her song it gives pure goosebumps

[@majbrat]

Billie and her brither are true artists. Super creative, always experimenting with sound, lyrics, ideas, film. Such a great team. I hope you check out more of her videos - so good.

[@swiftothecore]

If you were wondering about the little bit of music at the end, it’s there because it transitions seamlessly into the next song on the album, ‘ilomilo’

[@iamlpinthe312]

And the ending is the beginning of All The Good Girls Go To Hell

[@TalithaMay]

From what I recall in the making - the 360° turn scene was a constructed frame with a harnessed seat attached with camera attached facing her , incredible technology

[@becausemiro]

I think I’ve heard somewhere that Billie suffers from sleep paralysis. And this song and video was about that

[@fns004]

you have to react to the Music Video of Hostage by Billie, is really pretty and the storyline and choreo and lights work is beautiful my favorite music video from her❤

[@princessbanannahammock3925]

That set piece is WILD!

[@horsehollerer]

My favorite too! It is a truly stunning piece of work. And she was only ... what? ... 15? Just 16 maaaayyyybe?

[@ellieandthetorts]

So glad you got onto Billie! Also this video directly (visually at least) leads straight into the next one which was All the good girls go to hell!! which is amazingly simple yet brilliant. Id love to see your take on some of her videos like Bad guy (amazing visuals). Also her older stuff is very simple but really well done.

[@rahulgomes1472]

This video was directed by the director of some Conjuring movie, the house is also where one of Conjuring movie was shot

[@dlweiss]

The perfect music video for Halloween season! Beyond the compositions, lighting, and editing, Billie's own movements and performance REALLY lean into the horror movie vibes, with brilliant results. :)

[@akaLids77]

The inspiration for this song/video was her experiences with sleep paralysis and also a favorite book of hers called “The babadook”

[@ladynn3000]

I'm glad you reacted this. Her music videos are so cool and amazing. Also her brother Finneas has great music and most of his mv are one shot. My personal favorite is Let's Fall in Love for the Night and I'd love to know what you'll think about it

[@victoriar7799]

Seconding Finneas’ videos. You’ll like them because they’re all single shots or edited to look like it

[@luattack123]

That's why she is so good, this came from her brain. she and Finneas are a great duo. Brilliant.

[@toniasmith4730]

There really isn’t much I can say that has an already been said…all of Billie’s videos have “hidden” messages and/or symbolism that clearly, someone as talented as you, will pick up on. As others have said, I also suggest “can you see me in a crown” and “when the party’s over”. “when all the good girls go to hell” is great, I just prefer the others first. GREAT REACTION!!! Ps - you just got a new sub and I’ll be looking forward to more Billie reactions.

[@RicPerrott]

This is one of my all-time favorite music videos. Billie & Finneas are geniuses.

[@allaurain]

i literally discovered this man's videos a few days ago and was like "ooo he should see bury a friend" AND HERE IT IS WOW

[@shilohivy4590]

She’s so talented, I love her

[@thepinklemon2444]

Fun fact: This song fades in to another song called "ilomilo", hence the little beat at the end.

[@fns004]

la llorona director directed this music video, she really wanted horror in this mv😭

[@irrbis3243]

13:28 yupp, it transitions to her song "ilomilo"

[@klm422]

Billie is just brilliant in everything she does!!!❤❤❤

[@idontreadorreply]

This was the first Billies music video I saw, fell in love with her music immediately ❤

[@andreamasias28]

Ok so billie and finneas storyboard and come up with all her music videos concepts period she has making the videos for all of her videos i believe she is so amazing

[@kellytreolo6195]

The hotel (hallway) scenes were shot in an abandoned hotel, not on a set. Billie spoke in an interview about how bad (moldy) the hotel smelled. With Billie, the first guess should always be that it's "real" (i.e. the spiders in Crown, her swimming through furniture in Happier Than Ever, the "black goo" coming out of her eyes in When the Party's Over.....no CGI)

[@kellytreolo6195]

Also, when she turned upside down, she was really turning (again, no CGI)

[@anfilias]

Ok, I love this song and didn't even know there was a video. An awesome one at that 🤯

[@MsAmberAnne]

You honestly can’t go wrong with any of her videos..she’s extremely creative.

[@Oatmilllk]

She’s inspired by the babadook. This is only of the only videos Billie didn’t direct but she had a huge part in the creative direction

[@davej.4989]

Another great video. Loving the Buc-ees Christmas sweater.

[@iamlpinthe312]

All Billie. 100% brilliant.

[@marita2g]

Loved your reaction! It was fun how you gave an insight on how things were done and the transitions. The song is so amazing! Would love to hear your thought on Nightwish - Noise :D

[@chrisdl704]

So much artistic and real work goes into her music videos it’s absolutely amazing to see. Could you do a behind the scenes video of her music videos? Would be really cool to hear your take on that Edit to add: Billie direct her music videos and a lot of the times she’s got her video’s planned out before she even have the music. In her documentary she showed her notebook and how she scribble and draw her plans out

[@ThynkeT]

Omg “when the party’s over” next please! :D I think you would love it!

[@désoléemonamour]

Thank you for reaction. Pleae more Billie. She so creative singer, you can see it in every of her mv's

[@user-ch8bf7iy1p]

you gotta check Everything I Wanted music video.. it’s go good

[@travismattingly1414]

Would LOVE for yall to get into other ones like: Lovely, Everything I Wanted, Xanny, anything from this album is a banger for sure. Also Finneas her brother wrote a lot of her songs, and he does the instrumentals and production himself. Hes immensely talented and has some banger tracks of his own to look into.

[@horsehollerer]

Wonderful reaction, thank you. I know you've done three Billies already, but I'd say that there are two others that are truly stunning ... "When the Party's Over" and her most underrated video and song imho, "Hostage." Cheers!

[@MsAmberAnne]

Billie and Finneas have said they love recording ambient sounds.

[@cjandauntieyaya1446]

This song is about Night Terrors and Sleep Paralysis. One is partially awake but still in REM so the brain still is producing the neurochemical that keeps the body from moving. So one can go through a lot of very unsettling shit. Like have intruders in your room standing over you or sitting on your bed. Some imagine alien abduction. Others imagine being possessed. Others experience a form of sexual assault. Billie is trying to convey the whole darkness and disjointed fear she experienced during these episodes. Note that the injection into her back is repeated in the beginning of her video All the Good Girls Go to Hell.

[@roselamanna2317]

You asked what influenced Billie on this song? Nothing! She's just Billie. She's brilliant. Her and Finneas. She's like Steven King. She sees something and imagines what it would be or do if??? That's what makes them great.

[@vinsmashies]

Bury A Friend needle scene is included as an intro to her other song "All The Good Girls GoTo Hell"

[@FrancescaBuckingham]

More billieeee

[@apricity990]

Yeah the machine for that one shot was awesome, the camera and herself was strapped to whatever was making her spin, I’m pretty sure there’s BTS videos somewhere for this

[@TSdesday]

You haven’t seen You Should See Me In a Crown🤭❤️

[@hoy68290]

Billie designed that set in her diary when she was 16 everything is her ideas but being a minor they still didn't let her direct alone, but she has been directing and also editing since she was 14!!! She was the editor of bad guy and her many other mv! When she was a kid she was making this stuff, she loves music videos ☺️ and she hates green screen! Most of her mv are all real even in “All the good girls go to hell” that falling angel (Lucifer) who falls into hell = our earth .. is real, same NDA with the cars Etc and she said she wanted these syringes in her back to be real too, but they didn't let her bc she was too crazy as a teenager 😂 she also had depression … strongly… 💔 and she was just expressing her feeling.. she also represents phobias for syringes, those who touch your face and body etc and also for spiders in “you should see me in a crown”, she is going “against” human phobias, she also represents human fears , problems (mental health too) She said SHE is the monster under HER bed, bc we humans are our worst enemy especially our mind ! 💔

[@nymphaudios]

the little beat at the end is the beginning of the next song on the album, they transition into each other. so yeah it is also in the actual song lol

[@Leviengland2025]

So the scene when she was like spinning upside down, and then behind the scenes, they actually showed that she was strapped like a crane and they just turned her and a full circle

[@eimyxfrutilla]

you need to watch next "all the good girls go to hell" is the continuation of this music video

[@iamlpinthe312]

Directed by same guy who did The Conjuring. One of Billie’s favorite movie was Babadook.

[@ryishighh]

the inspo was the Babadook

[@flp95]

You NEED to react to “all the good girls go to hell” by Billie as well ❤

[@carolinalins]

There is a very simple video that I love of hers, everything I wanted, Id like to hear your opinion, Its all in a car basically but id like to hear what you think, if you could of course ❤

[@stefanfrankel8157]

Check out the PopBuzz interview with Woody. She mentions her horror film influences, though she can't remember one of the names of the films. The two she remembers are the American Horror Story series and The Babadook.

[@user-ne6md8mt5t]

One of her main influences for this video was the movie “the babadook” she loves horror movies in general as well.

[@KuriZaki]

idk if it's really the case but billie's first few music video is like a story in a way

[@trdxandy749]

shes actually stabbed by the needles btw

[@judyjude]

Love your reactions so far. I always thought this vid was very much inspired by Haunting of Hill house ,and Nellies story. She has said it is about sleep paralysis, which was somethin Nellie suffered with. A lot of the shots are similiar to the shots in the series. I havent seen it confirmed, but I am pretty sure it must be. Was looking to see if you had reacted to any Bjørk, and I found none!. Please do Pagan Poetry and Hyperballad ++

[@Time_Is_Left]

It’s about sleep paralysis :)

[@Wolfzeph]

Loved the reaction and analysis. I would also really recommend this K-pop group called Stray Kids as well! Their music is amazing and their music videos are insane. I’d recommend checking out S-class which is one of their more recent songs :D

[@chrisofnottingham]

She basically did the story board / screen play but didn’t yet do the directing at the shoot at this point.

[@daviddsavage]

billie says this song, video, and most of the album’s aesthetic is inspired by the babadook

[@jphoenixfan]

I believe she said in interviews this was inspired by her sleep paralysis and a movie she saw called The Babadook. She had storyboards and camera angles and drawings. It didn’t take her long to start fully directing her own videos, as she had them all planned out anyway. EDITED to add: You must do her songs “NDA” and “You Should See Me In A Crown” (vertical video). There is NO cgi or green screen. Mind blown. Enjoy.

[@Sara01977]

I think he did reaction to NDA already.

[@mosesramos2978]

The beat you heard at the end is part of the next song on the album. The visuals for this video are tied to all the good girls go to hell MV. WHICH might be a good third video to watch followed closely by when the party’s over and then you should see me in a crown. That last mostly for shock value

[@yassinwesam2204]

DO MORE FROMM BILLIEEEE

[@Stinger_tbx]

There is the sound of a shovel full of dirt being thrown when they say "Bury a friend" But you got to listen very close 😮

[@Videoeditorreacts]

Good ear!

[@takerhapsody]

Couple of Halloween ago I did a aerial hoop routine to this . I was a loony and in a straight jacket . Carried on by two people dressed as security guards . They dumped me in the middle of the room and said” don’t bite anyone AGAIN “ . Few minutes of me freaking out the audience by getting out of the Jacket, sniffing the audience and licking my best friend. Then when he says Billie I get on the hoop and do my routine. Just before the end I am back where the guards left me

[@injunsun]

Her "What was I mad for?" about kills me, a 55 y.o. gay man, living with undetectable HIV over a quarter century, artificial hips, and now hear issues, in spite of being Vegan. You should review that, if you haven't already.

[@hrts4biil]

If you do billie again, I definitely recommend, when the parties over, you shouod see me in a crown, all the good girls go too hell and therefore i am

[@chaddebuff2299]

The influence was sleep paralysis

[@ameliawidener2225]

I'm pretty sure i read somewhere that those needles were real and they did actually go in her skin.

[@tanguyhuneault8124]

I believe she said that her main inspiration for this music video was a film called "the babadook"

[@kl6902]

She directs all her own videos and this one is based on her night terrors

[@surrealkit4843]

The video reminds me a lot of Haunting of Hill House. No idea if that was an influence. It's just what I see when I watch it.

I have always thought that either she or someone clise to here had a psychiatric hospitalization. The video and the lyrics.
