What music videos can you think of that are taken in one continuous shot?

Spice Girls - Wannabe
Jessie Ware - Wildest Moments
Taylor Swift - We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together (I THINK this is all done in one shot, it certainly looks like it)

One that springs to mind is OK Go with This Too Shall Pass

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qybUFnY7Y8w

At least I think it was one continuous shot.

Off the top of my head...

Nerina Pallot - Put Your Hands Up
Christina Aguilera - The Voice Within
OK Go - Here It Goes Again
Fiest - 1234
Bruno Mars - The Lazy Song

I'm not sure about Taylor's. Some of the transitions have me skeptical. If it is though, it was very slickly done considering the complex production.

Taylor's is not in one shot. Is cleverly filmed, but it's not a single take.

The most famous one is Dannii Minogue's "You Won't Forget About Me" video.
It is a super video.

Most of it is, but it breaks away sometimes to shots of her sat on a bed. Then later when all the water's crashing in, there's several different shots.

'Wannabe' is not all one shot. There are a couple of cuts in there. Watch when it pans from the priests at the table near the end (just after Mel B's rap) there is a shot of a curtain filling the whole screen. That's a cut right there. I think there's another one too.

OK, many here are mentioning videos which are not filmed in one shot. Continuous action does not mean it is filmed in one shot. I'm pretty sure for example that Dannii Minogue's "You Won't Forget About Me" is not filmed in one sequence.

However, one video which is not mentioned here yet is of course the famous "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Sinéad O'Connor. It is not entirely a one shot video, there are other images cut in between for a few seconds. But the part when they filmed O'Connor's face is filmed entirely in one shot. Janelle Monae's video for "Cold War" might be inspired by O'Connor's video.

Then there is of course OK Go which has a few videos done in one shot.

That's a lot! I bet putting it together wasn't too hard though if you know how to work Final Cut Pro or one of the major editing suites I can't even work iMovie
