Amazing music video by OK GO from last year, shot in just one take: (a single 5-minute continuous shot)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1ZB_rGFyeU
My brain hurts thinking about the effort that went into that :biggrin: Of course I had to dig into it a bit: they shot it slowed down to half-speed (using big speakers playing it slow in order to sync the dancers), and then boosted the speed to make it look more realtime, which gives it that funky look:

Over 2,300 people were used for the final shot. Here's a short interview of the band talking about the video:

A bit more on the filming of it:

For the camera mount, they used a huge octocopter that would land on a pull-cart for the ground-level shots. The drone (yes, drone is vernacular now, just accept it) was piloted by hand & by GPS, all the way up to nearly half a mile in the air:

The scooters are actually Honda personal transportation devices:

The only compositing that was done that they mentioned was the scooters - they had to add some in because they didn't have enough scooters for everyone for the single take, but the rest was all done through the drone/cart aerial platform with half-speed choreography. Amazing!
