Music videos have been in a state of recession for years now, as downturns in the music industry and the rise of low-cost, high-concept viral videos have supplanted the big-budget event video. But the one-shot music video has endured even as the music video has mostly outgrown its auteur phase. Because elaborate one-shots are so difficult to pull off, ambitious artists and intrepid directors are drawn to them for the visual spectacle as much as the bragging rights. Director Michel Gondry single-handedly raised the one-shot to new heights, but his ingenuity has been matched by a few artists and directors brave enough to try the most difficult trick in music video, if not all of cinema.

LOve’s not a competition by Kaiser Chiefs is a pretty insane one-shot
Midland – Burn out is one continuous shot from beginning to end. There is a mistake 13 seconds in but most people don’t notice.
Marianne’s Wish – Bleeding Love
When I think of You by Janet Jackson was by far the most difficult video made, certainly at that time. Puts these to shame. One camera and continuous through a complex set.
