most powerful twenty one pilots music video moments; a thread:
tyler speaking at the start of the jumpsuit mv, kicking off the new era
the stand off between nico and tyler
the way tyler is pulled out of his trance by the yellow flowers and the sight of the banditos
THIS BUILDUP!!! the way tyler turns and screams whilst running
the way a sense of paranoia is created when tyler is surrounded by the banditos; he turns around to go, but can’t.
the whole cinematography of this clip, love the way tyler and the banditos almost march in with the torches.
the way tyler is snatched by nico on the beat....gives me chills every single time
THE WAY TYLER’S EYES MOVE ON THE BEAT!!!!
the choreography and timing of this sequence; the way it also flicks back to josh on the drum beats.
THE TRANSITION!! we see tyler scribbling/labelling fame and success, and in the next shot, they are playing a show but this time, the words “fame” and “success” are actually printed on the hazmat suits
tyler mouthing the lane boy speech/intro that they play at the start of lane boy live.
the way the crowd goes from deadly silent and still, to going absolutely mad in a split second.
the way that after tyler screams, it immediately goes quiet again. also, the way tyler falls at the end, is so powerful.
the way the camera floats from josh to tyler, and suddenly the noose appears out of nowhere around tylers neck. also the way tyler runs and slips trying to escape its grasp.
the way the hands grab and wrap around Tyler. also the way we see tyler and josh slowly morph into skeletons.
the silent dialogue and use of masks in the guns for hands mv.
i love the boys’ facial expressions here. also, the way Tyler’s prison uniform is just ripped off, and the sense of paranoia and anxiety when the rest of the prisoners surround them.
the way Tyler’s uniform turns from yellow to orange, as the camera zooms out, and suddenly guns are being held to his head.
the way blurry looks up and makes eye contact with the camera and it goes black for a second. also, at the end when blurry just dissapears into the darkness. so chilling.
the way tyler and ned are just left alone, sat in an empty pool with a single cup of chlorinated water.
the way the car is literally directly heading for josh, but swerves just at the right time to miss him.
the camera pans from tyler in the back seat to a hooded figure driving. in the front mirror you can see tyler flailing around, looking almost lifeless.
when the camera pans from tyler to the front seat a second time, we see there is nobody there driving anymore. also, the way the car starts to full to pieces on the beat.
the car exploding in slow motion...the way tyler watches and slowly walks backwards not being able to tear his eyes from it...CHILLS
