When a filmmaker goes the distance and makes a scene out of one take (an uninterrupted camera shot with no cuts or breaks) it's always quite interesting. To see it in a music video is even less common (though the OK Go! treadmill video for "Here It Goes Again" comes to mind). Following in these footsteps, Swedish swing and hip hop group Movits! filmed an impromptu, single take music video for their song Sammy Davis Jr. while walking down the recognizable 6th Street of Austin, TX.

Then you have the fun video for...for...freakin' Swedish. It's called "Äppelknyckarjazz"...and I'm choosing to pronounce it in my head as "Apple-nick-ar-jazz". However it's pronounced, the video's got a nice style that the music only makes better.
Going back to the first video, I'm assuming that you and everyone you know has seen the treadmill video, so for a taste of what a single shot scene looks like in a film, here's a taste from The Player and Joss Whedon's Serenity, the Firefly movie. (Yes, we're aware Robert Altman cheated slightly with The Player, there's a nigh imperceptible cut).
And yes, we're sorry the Serenity clip is in French, but there aren't any English versions that have the full opening. And besides, you just watched a bunch of Swedish guys walk down a street in Austin, you can't watch Nathan Fillion in French?
