The long take, an uncut, uninterrupted shot in film, is
seen by some as the counter to CGI, the last great field for cinematic art. The linked page features six clips from 1990 on, plus
the opening shot from Orson Welles' 1958 film,
Touch of Evil. Alfred Hitchcock's film from a decade earlier,
Rope, took the long cut further, with the whole film shot in eight takes of up to 10 minutes each,
a decision shaped by the limit of the physical recording media. With digital media, the long take could be pushed further, as with
Russian Ark, from 2002. The movie was shot in one long take, with the narrative working through the history of Russia,
set within The State Hermitage Museum, and captured in one day on the 4th take. If the long takes are a tad long for you, try the "short" long takes that are

Remember how
OK Go had to explain why they couldn't let fans embed their music videos? Well, they evidently got their record label to change their tune, because the off-the-charts amazing new video for "
This Too Shall Pass" is embeddable. "Picture that old board game Mouse Trap and multiply it by several thousand,"
says Rolling Stone.

OK go's video for their song "A Million Ways" looks as low budget and as simple as it could be. Four members in a backyard, one camera on a tripod, and they simply dance. But I have to say it's one of my favorite music videos of the last few years. Direct link to
