Shot in the Dark

Style Points

The citizens of Grand Rapids, upset at being called a “dying city”, responded with the gift of music video:

If you’ve ever worked on a film shoot – and who hasn’t? – the wild part is the whole thing was done in one take.

Roger Ebert called it the best music video ever. That’s an argument that could take days – but I’ll certainly give ’em style points.

    Gotta admit that this is pretty creative and if they got it in one take, it is a phenomenal achievement. But then, they didn’t have a bunch of spoiled libturd actors there to screw things up!

    When I heard “one-take”, I thought they meant they filmed it all in one day without having to redue any parts. About 2 minutes into it I realized that they meant this was a continous film. You have to watch it and wonder what is coming next and how they did this without any screwups.
