Eytan and The Embassy - Everything Changes
In Eytan and The Embassy’s "Everything Changes"
music video, lead singer Eytan Oren makes 18 costume changes.
It doesn't sound that impressive right? Lady Gaga makes that many
changes before breakfast, right? Well, guess what, it ain't that easy!
The video was done in a single take, with no edits. The core theme of
the song is that people shouldn't "find themselves" but should "create
themselves."
It took the band and crew a full day of rehearsal and 30 takes the next
day to successfully capture the final video and had to follow these
very simple rules in order to break the record...
-
Costume changes must be from chest up
-
Music video must be recorded in one take with
no edits or camera speed changes
-
Song may be no longer than four minutes, 30
seconds in length
18 Costume Changes -- 1 World Record -- 0 Edits!
It's all quite impressive, but like all magic
tricks - we really want to know the secret!
Luckily for you, dear readers, we have managed to track down a special
behind the scenes making of the video. TakeTHAT masked magician!
But this got us thinking - is this the best single
shot video clip ever made?
To test the theory, we've tracked down a few of our favourite one take
clips - some official, some fan made. The running theme seems to be
"Wow, us humans are pretty smart, ay!".
