172 Students, 1 Music Video, 1 Take

YouTube Preview Image

172 Students from the University of Quebec at Montreal (UQAM) created a music video during the “week of initiation”.  This is definitely a video that will make you smile no matter what country you’re from.  I really appreciate and respect videos that are done in one continuous tracking shot.  It is very tough to coordinate, choreograph and film.  There are so many things that can go wrong, and like a video game with out a save state, once you fail, you’ll have to go back to the very beginning.

Btw, this isn’t the first time a one take music video made it big recently on the nets.  Remember Nyle’s “Let the Beat Build?”

Great Job to those student from both music videos.

    Wow, that’s impressive! These guys are from my hometown. Oh and when I was younger I used to hang out on those stairs that you can see at the beginning of the video. lol

    Au 172 étudiants de l’UQAM qui ont participés à ce projet.. Vous êtes pas mal hots! ;)
