Video Editor Reacts to XG - PUPPET SHOW

[@kingbyouchoob2488]

Yesterday the charts when XG's mini LP dropped. The list is actually much longer but i didn't to make it too long. The Puppet Show MV is also currently #2 trending worldwide. Its a visual masterpiece. Should be Music Video of the Year. You 100% need to listen to X-GENE. It's short but its is pure🔥🔥🔥for some people its their favorite song off the album. 'XG - NEW DNA' - iTunes Album Chart #1 Canada #1 Hong Kong #1 Japan #1 New Zealand #1 Philippines #1 Taiwan #1 Thailand #1 Turkiye #1 Vietnam #1 Singapore #2 Bulgaria #2 Indonesia #2 Turkiye #3 United States #1 Pop Chart #4 Australia #6 Denmark #8 Brunei Darussalam #12 Germany #12 Netherlands #14 France #14 United Kingdom #20 Russia

Having been a photographer most of my life, I am always fascinated by the skill and knowledge needed for film/video editing. So no worries about talking, how else are we to understand how this is done? The advance in CGI over the years is astounding. The cinematic feel to videos such as this and especially GRL GVNG blows me away. As you said, this feels like a short movie.

I absolutely love comments like this. I love to find out more about you all and your hobbies. It's incredible that you are a photographer, it takes so much work and time to grab beautiful photos, but I agree that this video is one of the best ones we've seen. I wouldn't be surprised if in a year or two we start to mistake mv's for movies.

Sorry if this reaction felt a bit too slow. I'll be recording a bunch of new videos this weekend for you all! If you have any suggestions, please let me know!

Can you react to BE:FIRST - Mainstream please ? They are J pop and have been top trending in Japan currently. The boy group belong to BMSG and Avex (XG also come from Avex).

[@imsoshockaid]

I was so excited to watch this reaction and it did not disappoint! XG is actually my favorite girl group and I think this is their best song yet. The mv is beautiful as well

[@CCrizzic]

I was thinking the same thing!! At first I thought this song was a top 5 at best, but after listening to it like a million times its my favorite now 🤣❤️ not sure how they will top this masterpiece.

❤love your reaction

[@mariekandi6914]

I actually appreciate your input, especially since they haven’t released their bts for this. The video isn’t grand grand like girl gvng but it compliments the music and I love the world building. Probably my fave song off the whole album but hoping they release an MV for xgene. It’s soo gooood

[@CCrizzic]

I hope one day they release a bts because I'd love to see the process of how they made this. Felt completely different from their other videos and I think this is now my favorite song from them. Thank you for watching you're the best ❤️🙂

Just wanted to share the story and lore behind the music video., credit to @exScythed. - The XG girls are lowered individually into Buddhist Hell by the thread of a spider (the scene with Chisa represents this). The figures you see in the very beginning are wearing traditional Buddhist headdresses. They are surrounded by spirits who are caught in a cycle of reincarnation that never ends. (In Buddhism the “spider’s thread” is a reference to how Buddha took the thread of a spider in Heaven and lowered it down to Hell so that a criminal can climb up from Hell to Paradise. Therefore the thread of a spider is a symbol of slight hope aka a silver lining and of fragility. In the story it’s stated that the thread descended through “many layers of sky and clouds.”) - The XG girls look on sadly as many spirits attempt to reach Paradise and fail, exploding into nothingness (Chisa looking down from her perch represents this.) - Even though the XG girls are hailed as goddesses by the other spirits (represented by the way the other spirits bow to them) they realize they still can’t reach Paradise alone aka achieve enlightenment. - This changes when the XG girls find each other in death, realizing that their meeting was fate in order for them to reach Paradise together (they are tied together by the “red string of fate” and “hesonoo” is Japanese for umbilical chord.) This is represented four times in the video and twice in the chorus of the song; When Juria is running to help a spirit and meets Hinata there’s a close up of her eye where we see her having a vision of an explosion, when Harvey (who has black teeth which in Japan is a common practice amongst women because it represents a “woman with virtues”) meets Jurin, when the XG girls rap/dance together as a group with the drums, and when a wayward spirit’s failure to achieve enlightenment causes an explosion which knocks everyone down leaving only XG standing strong. There’s also a ton of fourth wall breaks showing that they’ve broken away from the circle the spirits are stuck walking in. They know the Truth aka achieved enlightenment and know you’re watching basically. Also, it is only in the later two choruses the girls adlib together. The first chorus, when they haven’t met in the video yet, has none. - Before XG goes, they bless one of the spirits who is heavily implied to be pregnant with a girl (the moon is associated with womanhood, XG fans are ALPHAZ aka wolves) and has earned the right to be reincarnated. - The XG girls take a literal leap of faith together and successfully reach Paradise! The music video is tied to XG’s themes of female empowerment-women have two “x” chromosomes, the girls are “extraordinary,” they have the “x-factor,”they represent a better future for women which is connected to the idea that the next generation of children (children birthed by women who have “new DNA”) are the future hence the futurism stuff. I hope this helps anyone!

11:41 Don’t worry about! The exact reason I watch your videos is to hear a video editor’s perspective on my faves music videos. It’d be a shame if you didn’t talk 😅

[@CCrizzic]

I'm really glad you all like my input I get worried sometimes I ruin the video 🤣 but seriously thank you!!

[@_harley_1288]

@@CCrizzic No problem! Thanks for making such great videos!❤️

[@keisekino]

I’m pretty sure that this MV is inspired by Game of Thrones, The Night King’s troop
