Untamed Vid Recs: Runs in the Family | Riot

[out_there]

Okay, two ensemble vid recs that I've been enjoying, even though their vibes are massively different.

Runs in the Family - I just came across this on YouTube and wow does this vid pack a punch. So much family trauma and love, and all twisted together. The editing is fantastic but it takes a few watches to realize how well those shots go with the lyrics.

I love the Lan brothers and their desperate devotion ("to anyone who'll have me"), and the match of Zidian to "we're wonderful folks" for the Jiangs. I love the running section: JGY running for office, LWJ running for a cause, NHS running from responsibility, and JC running into debt with his new golden core. It's great editing but it takes a few watches to appreciate it.

Riot - This is a totally different vibe, but let's be honest: sometimes it's just fun to recognise that most of the Untamed characters are badasses in their own way. (It's a song that makes everyone feel like the cool villain.) I love the match of the pretty dancing girls to the bass beat, and I love how literally some of the lyrics are matched to visuals.
