List of one-shot music videos
This is a list of one-shot music videos filmed in one long take by a single camera or manufactured to give the impression it was.
One of the most famous music video directors for this genre is Michel Gondry, who has done many of his videos in this style, while among artists OK Go often took advantage of the one-shot filming features to produce intricate visuals.
