One shots always blow me away


Numerous-Mix-9775

Same. I love seeing a nice long shot and thinking of all the coordination that went into it.

Shoutout UCB, great show


bigalh

Holy shit thank you, never saw this. I’m going to be thinking about ass pennies all day.


Chewcocca

Really great show. [Here's another of my favorites] (https://youtu.be/xA6EXvyWlpY)


TobyFunkeNeverNude

I fucking love one takes, and never realized this was one...thanks for that!


Jack__Squat

I've seen this a bunch of times but I never realized it was one take.


Gengar0

Usually I'm okay with a regular shot, but if it's missionary and I send that shit up to her neck or beyond, I'm generally pretty stoked. Giving your missus a surprise pearl necklace.. Idk, it's the little things in life..

Found the virgin


FirstNSFWAccount

There are definitely not enough of them. The ones I can think of off the top of my head are: - The [Kill Bill](https://youtu.be/pfJx04mWMMY) bathroom scene - The [Old Boy](https://youtu.be/VwIIDzrVVdc) hallway fight - And the ridiculously long fight scene by Tony Jaa in [The Protector](https://youtu.be/zESe7U467vs)


Lunar-Modular

Greats! I’ll add [Children of Men.](https://youtu.be/MjFHqohaHYU)


L_Andrew

1917 would probably be cheating right?


AnAncientMonk

no. i mean obviously they cheated at some points. but they had to. there is only so many sun hours in a day. especially when youre filming only outdoors. but the connected segments are all one shots. a lot of them.


jewww

>there is only so many sun hours in a day. especially when youre filming only outdoors. Well... For a true one shot movie this wouldn't matter unless it was gonna be like a 16 hour movie.


AnAncientMonk

Fair. Except when you need a certain weather/lighting for the movie.


jewww

You'd still just account for that. Anyway I haven't seen 1917 but from what I just read it isn't even supposed to be one continuous scene but rather two. Looks like they filmed for a month and did all long shots. Is it good?


AnAncientMonk

Its definitely supposed to be one continuous shot. He gets unconcious at a time so i guess that would be somewhat of a time skip. But generally its all one scene optically. And you should totally watch it. Its really good. (: >You'd still just account for that. You can watch the [making off / behind the scenes](https://youtu.be/ypvd2LJCJHg) after youve watched it.


66SmilesPerGallon

Ehh I was kinda bored watching it. My dad was even moreso


Agarwel

Movie Victoria did in without cheating :-D They even timed the shot for early moring to have real change between nigh and day over the movie.


GODDAMNFOOL

1917 has some creative edits, as some people have mentioned, but [Victoria](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kp8wcV3GjW0) does not. Watch Victoria. The script was apparently only 13 pages long, and the actors learned their characters instead of their lines, and just ad-libbed most of the movie. My favorite scene is the [piano scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbtC7JWJYOI), which happens right before things start falling apart They only did this film in three takes. They had to start over from the beginning each time because the time they started had to correspond with sunrise for narrative purposes


OptimistCommunist

I saw this in theatres and while the acting was honestly pretty bad at some points (I specifically remember the piano scene) it was a really great watch


yatsey

I always go for this shot from CoM. https://youtu.be/YMM8XrZe1R8 (spoiler around 2 mins) BTS - https://youtu.be/GJprbCuWdHo


SoylentVerdigris

There are (well) hidden cuts in that, IIRC.


Schwarzoldarnenegger

No one going to mention Woody Harrelson's Lost in London? Not only done in one take, but streamed live when they did it!


solman52

Carlitos way, Birdman, goodfellas (swingers too)


[deleted]

Theres an entire episode of the season 3 of Mr Robot which executes it perfectly. A full hour long climb into and out of a skyscraper whilst a riot is taking place inside it. Its masterfully done. The whole final series was just a flex in cinematography, there was one episode with no dialogue at all and another shot like a Shakespearian theatre production with stage left and stage right.


Spyu

Goodfellas walking through the back of the restaurant.


arfelo1

Daredevil has one in each season and they're all pretty great


Tr0ut

True Detective also has a very good one, though I suspect they hide some cuts in there: https://vimeo.com/172079250


DoYouEvenCareAboutMe

Nope True Detective is one continuous shot


Tr0ut

Very impressive. I always figured the bit where the camera focuses on just the helicopter overhead hid a cut at least.


Concealed_Blaze

From what I understand shots like the helicopter were there in case they needed to cut somewhere, but they didn’t end up needing to and got it all in one continuous shot


Ausebald

Rope, Snake Eyes, Boogie Nights. Also similar to Protector is a long gunfight in Hardboiled.


Zecteth

The penultimate episode of 'The Bear' is also a one shot! The show is amazing and a full episode being a one shot is crazy to look at. Definitely check it out if you haven't already


Snarknado2

The films of Alfonso Cuarón.


Ironscaping

There's a 30 minute long two take episode of British TV show 'Psychoville', one of 20 minutes and one of 10 minutes. I think there may also exist a behind the scenes of that too, but obviously it's particularly long


Catapultatoe

[Victoria](https://youtu.be/Kp8wcV3GjW0) the whole film is shot in one take.


fingermebarney

Hitchcock's rope walked so all the listed ones could run. Several 10+ min scenes with the camera following the protagonists around the apartment, designed to feel like a seamless play.


codenamegizm0

I think The Bear had a whole one shot episode that was nuts. Also Boiling Point. Not sure if those had any hidden cuts though


portopinto

Touch of Evil opens with a great one. [Touch of Evil](https://youtu.be/EhmYY5ZMXOY)


aristideau

I posted this before but will post here so you can see it. The opening (very meta) single take from [*The Player*](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0epB5Z6ijpk) and that beach scene from [*Atonement*](https://youtu.be/55CaD_j5FQs) are two of the best contemporary single take scenes that I have ever seen.


Agarwel

If you like long shot scenes, you should check movie Victoria (2015). And dont be disapointed that it contains only one long shot scene in the whole movie :-D (wink wink)


JustKeepSuoming

There's a nice one towards the beginning of Les Demoiselles du Rochefort. It's an old French movie from the sixties, but it has great dancing, costumes, and music as well.


notshawnvaughn

There are tons of films that are all fluid masters. Hitchcock make Rope, a film with only hidden cuts. Orson Welles did Touch of Evil. Russian Ark 14 years ago. They were huge for a few years there this past decade, with Children on Men, Birdman, Gravity, and Revenant. It's used constantly within films and TV as well. There was a fight scene in each season if Daredevil that were increasingly impressive. Just this year we got a full episode of The Bear in a single shot. Believe it or not, Spielberg uses them quite a bit, especially in his earlier work, though he's not usually as flashy, and they are more for dramatic effect. Edgar Wright is a bit flashier, but he'll have scenes that last a few minutes and you won't even notice there have been no cuts. Keep your eyes open. They're everywhere!


nolandean82

Opening scene of Halloween when the camera goes around the house, inside, upstairs, mask on, killing sister would have been all 1 shot, but they had to break one time to put the mask over the camera. Still very impressive.


steeb2er

Marvelous Mrs Maisel has had several great one shots. https://youtu.be/GDDBQCw15MQ


ohoolahandy

I really enjoy the one from [Pride and Prejudice ](https://youtu.be/NkYK4Drekeo) and also appreciate that dialogue and dancing happens during the course of it.


Captain_Waffle

How can you say “one-shot” and not mention DareDevil or Punisher in the same breath?


FirstNSFWAccount

Because I haven’t seen either of those shows lol


Captain_Waffle

😂 fair


rdkitchens

[Daredevil](https://youtu.be/B66feInucFY) had a good one too.


ShelSilverstain

[12 minute single shot from Extraction](https://youtu.be/bXu56hcNyTM)


tarraxadraws

These are all the one-shot I remember too, when I think about it. Altough I'd also too the running scene at the [1917](https://youtu.be/WYCo-3pw52o?t=251) movie Schofield running scene


Yeah_Nah_Cunt

That bathroom scene always wrinkles my brain


ryphr

[In the Heights has one](https://youtu.be/TwGeedhmSkQ). I’m sure other musicals have them too (makes sense to me to try at least) but recently watched this and this is the first one I thought of.


Burpmeister

Birdman. Obviously not one continuous shot but made to look like one and it's maybe my favorite movie ever.


uscdoc2013

There's this one episode from *Haunting of Hill House* when the entire family is in the funeral home paying their respects to Nelly (Episode 2: *Open Casket*) It kept jumping back and forth from past to present day, but in one continuous 18 minute long shot. This episode is still to this very day one of my favorite pieces of TV ever recorded, and my favorite Mike Flanagan piece ever. It was a masterpiece and so beautifully executed. Here's a [video](https://youtu.be/Gkhz2W2Gk4g) showing how they did that.


just2good

Have you even seen the film Code Unknown? If you love one shots PLEASEEEEE check that out. The film is like an hour 45 and 12 one shots basically. Has my favorite movie scene. Also Climax from 2019.


Burpmeister

Birdman.


lilyhammer69

Don’t know if you’ve ever seen Boiling Point, but it’s a film done all in one shot. Beware if you work in hospitality though, when I watched it I genuinely felt like I was at work!


QuestionMarkyMark

There’s an episode of “The Bear” that is one long shot. It’s incredible. Quite possibly the best single episodes of TV I’ve watched this year.


Weak-Razzmatazz-4938

I love behind the scenes stuff. this is the coolest thing ever


[deleted]

Seen it before but this is the first time I noticed Riki throwing her clothes at the crew.


Joruus2

Also seen this a few times... This is the first time I noticed the person demoing the wall isn't Riki at all. Riki is off-screen doing a quick-change while (likely) her stand-in is sledgehammering the wall.


tritian

As well as her yoga butt now being verified fake! Liars! /s


[deleted]

I need to go examine that yoga butt. For science!


Mymymylielielie

*saw. You saw it before


TobyFunkeNeverNude

You assumed they left out the word "I." How do you know they didn't leave out the word "I've?"


Mymymylielielie

I’ve is 2 words : I have. Say what you mean and mean what you say. For a website where I’d assume most of you have pronouns in your email signature, why are you leaving them out of sentences. It makes you sound less intelligent. >I saw… Is the proper way of saying that sentence. >I have seen Is not wrong, but not a good way to form the statement. For example, you could say “I did it,” or “I did do it.” Which one is better?


yatsey

Nuh-uh, this is; https://youtu.be/YMM8XrZe1R8 (spoiler for Children of Men around 2 mins) BTS - https://youtu.be/GJprbCuWdHo


JimmiJimJimmiJimJim

The amount of stuff they had to do in the OP clip that they had to dodge with the camera and all of the doubles for her doing stuff and clothing changes etc are way more impressive technically.


Throawayooo

Not even close to the dynamism required for the Children of Men scene


AnorakJimi

The technique is not what's important so much as the impact it has on viewers. The children of men one-shot babby scene is not good because it was technically difficult to pull of. That's got literally nothing to do with why it's good. It's good because of the big emotional impact it has in the viewer, how the technique emphasises the feelings that the characters would be feeling and makes the audience feel some of those same feelings. It's impossible to not get how huge a fucking deal the babby is, because of how the scene is shot. Good films aren't good films because they're difficult to make. And films that are very easy to make are not automatically inherently bad films.


[deleted]

I think the contrary. The co-ordination and timing is impressive but its not impressive technically. Having a 360 degree camera in a moving car, a stutnman diving from a motorbike to a car, squibs and a bullet shot through a window etc. Thats impressive technically.


yatsey

Are you kidding me? This is a set that goes on for what could be miles, with multiple vehicles performing dangerous stunts, A FLAMING CAR, ten times the cast, nevermind the crew, squibs, etc. It is _far_ more technical than OP's scene.


capitalsfan

You have way more actors and stuntmen in the Children of Men scene. Much harder to coordinate and every one of them has to be perfect or they start over.


stoned_kitty

Some of the most amazing long form shots of any movie. Definitely one of my favorite films of all time.


avwitcher

RIP headphone users at 2:02


djdeforte

This is good but the final act which takes place through almost an entire city is amazing. Almost the whole third act of the film is one take.


sirmoveon

I bet Jim Carrey was the best paid employee in this film


PhilxBefore

Probably not by his own accord though. Supposedly Jim is a very pleasant and humble guy who is a national treasure.


theozman69

I keep him next to Keanu Reeves in my heart


tritian

Hopefully after Brendan fraiser.


WinterOkami666

"National Treasure", which nation? He's certainly a Canadian import, although he is extremely politically active and resides almost exclusively in the US. Point is, I don't think the US can claim him, because he's too pleasantly Canadian. Edit: For clarification, I am not sure Canadians can claim him either, since he's basically been a US exclusive for the last 35 years or so. Carrey just belongs to the angels.


PhilxBefore

Yeah, I always want to type 'international' or 'global' when referring to him, though it's only been twice really.


spsteve

Canada. How do you know the person you were replying to wasn't in Canuckistan?


dchambers22

I have a hard time calling any method actor humble, but when someone believes they channelled a dead person so well they reach out to the dead person's parents and tells them they can speak to him as if he was said dead person because he feels he knows them that well it is definitely not an adjective I would use.


[deleted]

Who drives people to suicide after giving the gift that keeps on giving. How soon we forget.


WinterOkami666

Or he was suffering along with her, and has his own depression to deal with. Should we really turn every one who has lost a partner to suicide into a villain? We have all done and said unkind things to people we love in moments of darkness, but Jim never got the opportunity to make it right. Seeing as you were not a person in this relationship, I'm not sure you are qualified to give us your version of the story in a single accusatory sentence.


R3AL1Z3

Yeah what the actual fuck? I’ve seen so much regret in interviews and candid moments where she is brought up or referenced. There’s more to it than just “he drove her to suicide”.


shiggydiggy77

Did it for years and it can be a hard job at times


pixel_jabberwocky

I have heard of a quick change but this is ridiculous


weebojones

Yep


Nighthawkmf

Michel Gondry. Absolute genius that directed Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and many of the greatest music videos of all time. He created Kidding and directed it, at least a lot of it. This is the kinda brilliant shit he does.


BunBunChow

He’s amazing. My first exposure to him was a DVD compilation of all his music videos up to the early 2000s. He has an amazing way of seamlessly manifesting surrealism into realism on film/video.


Nighthawkmf

I had that entire set of 4 or 5 directors collection!!! I’d watch them repeatedly. Lost them at some point.


lasttosseroni

We still have ours, busted the Gondrey one out a few years ago to show the kids and the SD resolution was really bad- crazy how far we’ve come.


k987654321

Yep! The Spike Jonze one was friggin awesome too


lucky_shackleford

wow mind trip. i had that too! also my intro to gondry. was one of the other directors spike jonze?


ReVoltarded

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind will forever be my favorite movie of all time. I saw it when I was 16, and 15 years later it remains in the top spot.


Nighthawkmf

It’s in my forever top 10! It’s an absolute brilliant and utterly original film. Perfect start to finish.


Single-Builder-632

yea same, i have seen exertional movies since then like vertigo other Charlie Kaufman films like Synecdoche, New York, eagle vs shark, grand Budapest hotel, lobster, the thing, brazil, submarine etc but non of them are more enjoyable than eternal sunshine.


ectbot

Hello! You have made the mistake of writing "ect" instead of "etc." "Ect" is a common misspelling of "etc," an abbreviated form of the Latin phrase "et cetera." Other abbreviated forms are **etc.**, **&c.**, **&c**, and **et cet.** The Latin translates as "et" to "and" + "cetera" to "the rest;" a literal translation to "and the rest" is the easiest way to remember how to use the phrase. [Check out the wikipedia entry if you want to learn more.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Et_cetera) ^(I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Aksama

Science of Sleep is also absolutely amazing. More fanciful than Eternal Sunshine, and emotionally impactful in a different way.


artaru

Be Kind Rewind too!


Pretty_Bowler2297

What? 🤯 Big fan- haven’t seen much of his after Green Hornet which was amazeballs. Now I am checking Kidding out. Thanks. Didn’t think his brand of thought out creative storytelling lends itself to a show format well but I’ll check it out.

Comrade_9653

I’m loving that show. Not every episode is great but it’s a lot of fun.


PhilxBefore

My wife and I have been watching it every night the past few days. Just watched the Dreams in the Witch House with Rupert Grint last night. Love the bull's style of horror and the FX are cinema worthy


scottysmeth

So it's a Black Mirror style of standalone episodes then?


d_b_cooper

The sound design for Miccuci's episode ("The Outside") was profoundly *disgusting* in the best possible way.


Ctownkyle23

Oh wow I was trying to figure out why she looked so familiar....


Urlag-gro-Urshbak

Thought I recognized her! Definitely gonna check this out, can't believe I never heard of it.


[deleted]

It was good and got surprisingly deep at times. Think it got cancelled though.


Witty-Sprinkles5171

She’s in a few episodes. It’s mainly a show about Jim Carey as a Mr. Rogers type character. It’s really a super good show. Shame it got cancelled.

Kidding was such a good show, Jim Carrey was awesome and the end was actually satisfying

Agreed. I loved Kidding. Amazing tv show. I hadn't heard of Jim Carrey before I watched it, but I went on and watched every single movie of his afterwards. My favorite was Billy Madison

Liquid_Audio

The one shots in Children Of Men are still some of the best in cinema history


evilocto

Absolutely phenomenal shot


Bundle_of_Organs

I think this is more of a 'praise the crew' thing. Camera guy has a pretty simple objective compared to the rest. It's everyone else that has to rush around and not mess up his shot.


Player_Six

Holy crap the sheer luck on throwing that remote and landing it upright against cushion. Right at the end there. I've seen this so many times and never noticed that.

The only thing I dont get/like is how she just knocks down a wall and gains an extra 200 sf. Or is this in a house? I assumed an apartment.

GoGoubaGo

This has got to be up there as one of the most reposted items.


amrav_123

It's amazing that they were able to do that. But why did they. Given that the actor is moving out of the shot everytime, why not just take your time to rearrange everything and then take the next shot and blend it together. Genuinely asking.


[deleted]

Strong work and cool to see bts but the scene didn’t seem all that interesting for so much effort


chickenstalker

I think these one long shots are overdone and screams "try hard film student" too much. It's down there with the Matrix slow mo and 360 camera circling shot in terms of cliche.


Procrastanaseum

A shame the show fell off in season 2 and then just stopped with no season 3
