I like long shots. I like real time. A continuous shot is interpreted differently than cuts are. The eye has more time to wander. Light and color are on a continuous gradient. There are no abrupt changes. Constant.
Here's an indie band who has released essentially a zero budget video. It has strong impact. Done in one continuous shot, the focus of this video is obviously on a girl. What I especially liked here was that the girl often drifts out of the shot. Our attention is still on her when we can't see her. Watch the video.
Artist: Broadcast, Song: Tender Buttons, Album: Tender Buttons, Year: 2005
Somewhat different, and animated, Royksopp has featured a few one shot videos. This video isn't truly a one shot music video, however, has been cut up and transitioned to appear as a continuous take. It gives a pretty cool effect, event if it isn't all deep and meaningful like Broadcast's video. Sometimes you just gatta watch some eye candy.
