    ONE SHOT, PEOPLE. One amazingly-planned, meticulously executed shot. This video is fire. I could tell it was done in one shot, so it was rad to see a shot-of-the-shot- very next level. Nice work to the creative directors and crew! (And band of course!)

    I'm so charmed by this behind the scenes, how everyone is focused and working and moving together so kindly, such frank trust at every technical exchange (the camera man being lead safely through the chaos, the dressers and band stripping off costumes, ppl scurrying quiet and hunched to get to the next shot, etc.)

  • @blockmaniac4898

    This video is absolutely incredible. Here are some things I noticed:
    1. At 0:23 Dan has orange dots on his suit instead of blue. This could have possibly been the case so he would match the color of the basketballs, as we can see that the dots (on the wall) are still blue in the same shot.
    2. At 2:17 the camera rotation-device appears to jam, and you can see them struggling to make it turn.
    3. From 3:05 to 3:26, Dan is wearing a yellow outfit. This is because he and Andy had swapped roles - At 3:07 Andy is sitting atop the fake-hole, and at 3:22 Dan climbs up the yellow-staircase (hence his yellow clothes).
    4. At 3:12 Tim walks out from behind the mirror too late :(
    5. At 3:32 Tim is wearing a different outfit while he walks across the green and white checkerboard room.

      Ok, the making of video are not "one shoot", but the compilation of the attemps. If you check as you says when he has the bue dots, he dosen´t use gloves, but when he has the orange dots, he has yellow gloves. The video of the making of has parts from the various attemps they have done. But this don´t mean that the final version was not in one shoot or remove any genius from the video. Great video.
