Music Video: A Throwback To Hitchcock's Rope

Do you remember when MTV used to show music videos?  I miss those days and every once and awhile I stumble upon a good music video.  Nyle's video for "Let the beat build" was done entirely in one shot, and its pretty amazing.

This must have been extremely difficult to film and rehearse but the end product is great.  The audio was recorded while this whole production was being recorded.  Last Pictures are the brains behind this incredible video.

If you enjoyed the "single take style" be sure to check out Hitchcock's Rope (the first part of the movie is embedded above and the the other parts can be found on youtube).  The whole movie is basically one take, although I think they kind of had to cheat it to reload film.  You don't see this style too much any more, but Children of Men had some ridiculously long takes that turned out quite gorgeous. 

Enjoy the music vid :)
