This music video is an incredible accomplishment. The song is very catchy. What's most amazing, though, is it is all done is one single take. There are no "cuts" as they say, and it is all done is three and half minutes flat. I've seen some movie scenes where they don't cut, and basically follow from one place to another all in one take. It's hard to do. There is a movie with a record for the longest take, but I can't recall it. I don't think it is 3 minutes long, though.

It is interesting but doesn't seem incredible. I believe Rope by Hitchcock was done in long takes until film ran out then pick up from that spot to look continuous. I think the famous one take opening of Welles' Touch of Evil is over three minutes.
I wonder how many times they had to film the video (or the previous movies) to get it right.
I still like Ok Go's one take videos.:eusa_clap

Sincerely,
The Wolf
