It's very very purposeful Everything's very slow very still and then we hit this crazy zoom this crazy long zoom and we have we like cut in I don't really like the edit that's in the middle of this zoom right here Not my favorite thing I wish it was just a zoom and it just held on it But that crazy camera movement contrasts all of the stillness and the slowness that we had before and it really makes us pay attention Soak up that crazy lyric and we're in a lot of this music video takes inspiration from an anime called Sailor Moon There's a unicorn character in season 4.

There's just a lot that happens.

Hi.

My name is Jordan Orme I'm a professional music video editor for artists like these guys if you want to subscribe that'd be cool because if everybody who wasn't Subscribed that watches this video subscribes, then we would hit a million subscribers.

That'd be cool.

But if not, you know, it's fine Girls in her What is it called floaty girls in her unicorn floaty, you know, she's she's rocking it And then they're like, you know, let's have a little bit of a underwater breathing contest as you do at a pool party Bro I had a friend that went to two minutes.

Oh, maybe it was about a minute 45.

It was crazy though anyway They come up gowls gone and she left the floaty This Music video is so stylish the amount of just still frames is Very different from normal kpop music videos oftentimes in music videos.

You have crazy camera movement You have just absolute nutsness, but everything here is very composed very controlled.

They're not trying to hide anything They're just hitting us with banger image after banger image They Realized gowls missing and if you listen right here, there was a little reverbed Winnie But it's a creepy reference to the horse from Sailor Moon.

Oh, hi Justin.

I'm filming.

Do you want to say anything to everybody?

Oh That was my brother he's a good guy Now what was that crazy biking shot that is a great editorial technique just to give a little something some Create a little bit of intrigue a little flash forward who knows what's happening in this story The reason that shots also helpful editorially is it helps us transition and it helps us create a passage of time 13 missed calls.

That's not a good number And there we go we get the reveal of what the biking actually was I wonder if this is a new thing or if this has been happening for a long time Let me perplexity it if you don't know I've actually replaced Google with this thing called perplexity.

The links are in the description Oh This video is wild gowl comes back with this glowing gemstone scepter thing So she's back.

She's fine Obviously she went through it This yellow glowing light on their faces doesn't make much sense to me Usually that's what happens if you open a chest of gold and it's like shining on your face.

This was a blue Light that was glowing now, so I don't know why it's gold But it you know gold looks probably better than blue They touched the scepter and fly up and hit the ceiling Teleporting to another dimension.

Oh brother.

Oh, no, okay I like the close-ups too on all of those On the five six seven on the five.

I said five six.

Oh One Speed ramps.

Oh Okay, okay Oh Okay, this is some of the best kpop storytelling I've seen in a minute guys This is a whole movie.

They teleport to another dimension after getting slammed onto the ceiling And then we have this just crazy photo shoot lots of times in beauty shots If you're showing flashing or you're just like, you know trying to make the footage a little bit more interesting especially if it's slow-motion footage you can speed up part of it and be like a You know, it's kind of very similar to velocity edits on tik-tok, you know stuff like that so they're doing that a similar technique We're getting speed ramps at the beginning of the shot and then slowing it down to establish that eye contact We're just that beautiful moment in the shot They got their Sailor Moon outfits and her heart gets armored or that gets trapped somehow by this By you know the design that's similar to the scepter whatever this witch magic is I'm not sure I Love the flashes too.

It makes it feel like a photo shoot And then to get out of this other dimension that they're in where they received their powers maybe their scepters their new costumes They come back to reality and the universe gives them a receipt that says if you protect this wand until 12 a.m You will gain this magic force.

Now.

What is that magic force?

We'll have to wait and see what it is but the editing language to use a almost like a dip to white or this little flash to get them from the Alternate reality back to reality great editorial technique and it goes along with all the flashing that we saw earlier now This the VFX for this like the universe giving them a receipt is genius It looks so good It looks like time is literally being ripped in half or there's like a mirror behind her and the receipt is coming from space Like look at that detail.

That is incredible.

I love it Okay, so this one is priceless they need to protect it till 12 a.m.

That's their goal Immediately we have some of the best stunt work.

I've seen in kpop.

All right, look at this.

They jumped off the roof That's crazy now you can tell that these are stunt ladies because they're wearing masks and then the next shot that we see them They are unmasked, you know, we got the evil witch version of I now how the Frick did this happen?

Where did they come from?

I?

Don't know we're gonna watch and find out The way she just slammed her head in we have everything comes to silence now silence Creates a lot of tension and it leaves the opportunity for there to be contrast because contrast creates focus So what comes after silence noise loud impact and we can visually accentuate that by having her head Slam menacingly looking through the glass, you know sparking a little bit of intimidation.

All right, let's see what happened Okay flashback four hours ago Oh My goodness All right This is brilliant filmmaking right here.

They are Explaining the story so clearly so well lots of times when I'm watching kpop.

I get a little bit confused I don't know what's going on, but they are so clear in explaining this and it just helps anybody get into the story So let's break down what happened guy who?

Ran away and said, you know what?

I'm leaving my unicorn floaty behind.

I'm gonna steal This little scepter from this witch coven or coven.

Is it coven or coven Frick?

I Don't know I want to say that this is probably one of the hardest performance shots I've seen in a while her back looks arched a little bit weird.

We have this like behind overhead shot.

It's a fire angle I love this.

I want to see more creative angles like this.

Shout out to the director We also have a chromatic aberration on all these woods shots the edges of the screen sort of turn into a rainbow It lets us know visually that there's a flashback because sometimes we get confused when we're just seeing a bunch of images Maybe we forgot to read the four hours ago So the director and editor is giving us a little visual clue to let us know.

This is what happened before.

This is a flashback Dirty so good She's pretty sneaky the pearl shot with the hand Oh They got an evil mirror, okay, so that's how they found them tractor back This video is crazy the evil version and good versions of I've having a literal dance battle I guess this little dip to white thing.

It looks like that's how they decided to create outfit changes That's how the the outfit change is motivated.

You can literally see a light on set They just shined a crazy bright golden light and it overexposes the image and then on this shot It looks like they kind of did it Editorially the a shot was on set you can see that because of the shadows because the the overexposure looks very natural and then here It's just a filter put on in post Outfit change brilliant and then that camera shake right when she Initiates her powers and transports them to an alternate realm.

That was fire.

I liked it and look at this transition So as she transports them to an alternate dimension, we engage some blend modes now I believe this blend mode is something like difference Once you start duplicating shots on top of each other moving it around a little bit You can create some interesting looking images with blend modes and that's what they did here just to motivate the effect of transferring to another dimension It's a great motivated effect.

They didn't put it on there for no reason.

It's to help them move into that new dimension And then the dance battle initiates Now if you look at this wide shot coming up here, it's very Strategically used now We notice that the camera is not moving on the wide shot and that allows us to film two versions of I've one after another So the left side of the screen is one take and then you drop mask down the middle and the right side of the screen Is a completely different take it's two shots filming at once.

They didn't have to do VFX They just shot it practically and that's why the wide shot is very static very motionless And that goes along with what I was saying earlier Which I appreciate about this video is they're not trying to hide everything all the camera movement is very subdued and controlled which kind of Is a little bit creepy Like even the fight scenes Right here like the cameras moving but it's not chaotic.

It's very controlled Oh Okay, there looks like there's a little bit of a speed ramp or maybe they cut out a little part of the dance right Boom the way that they just snapped to the middle.

That was unnatural.

Maybe it's because they're in an alternate dimension I'm not sure but it makes their dance look so crispy So the editor did this either by cutting out frames in the middle of the shot or by just speed ramping that one section So it's a little bit faster than everything else And I'm loving all the sound effects, bro Everything's so choreographed all the sound really brings its life.

It makes everything feel a little bit more impactful This dance is fire Oh five minutes to midnight Oh Okay, so gal is fighting herself Now how did they practically do that the editor used a really in strategic over-the-shoulder So you're never seeing the face of the other person that she's interacting with so she can actually play both versions of herself But the editing here is very interesting.

Now.

It's not super continuity full as How do we get from this moment to this moment that doesn't make sense There was a jump in time now because of that it feels a little bit jarring But the way that the editor fixed this is he or she decided to cut when there was a lot of motion blur in front of the camera So right here again we cut right in the middle of the most motion blur in the middle of the screen and then the next shot also has Chaos in the middle of the screen lots of motion blur and we're moving in the same direction.

So this cut feels perfectly seamless Now right here we didn't have a moment where we got to cut from motion blur to motion blur But the next shot that we cut to has chaos happening in the middle of the screen.

So it still feels fairly smooth Even though the continuity doesn't match and then coming out of that again We have them struggling lots of motion blur in the middle of the scene and then we can cut to the next shot Where she is flying into the middle of the screen when you cut on the action it blends everything together All right, so they're running out of time they got to keep this thing in order to get the magic powers, okay Open the portal for sure put it in the fridge.

Yep.

Okay Oh She turned them into mice what the frick, okay So goggles strategy is we got to hide this thing in another dimension All right put it in the fridge for sure for sure for sure and then look at this cap cut Filmora transition with the snap of her Fingers and a little bit of crazy lighting effects.

They all turn into floating clothes What a crazy VFX shot to transition back into the house and they turn into mice Well, they didn't do it they were too late Awesome do good reading Bro, oh They're they're little uh Their little hair wings are dissolving.

They've lost the magic Frick thank you so much for liking and subscribing if you want to become a professional editor hit the link below.
