And some artists are choosing to make the already-challenging task even more complicated by trying to do it all in one take. Yes, one-shot music videos are fun to watch, but we wouldn&#8217;t necessarily want to make one. So, we proudly present our picks for some of the best one-take videos to date. Hats off to all of the artists, designers, and filmmakers involved in the following works of art. Enjoy!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1.

Imagine creating an extremely elaborate, single-take music video. The amount of work makes us exhausted just thinking about it. We&#8217;re big fans of OK Go, who are famous for their amazing and difficult one-take videos. Below you can watch their latest and a few of our other one-shot favorites. How many TVs did The Matches destroy for their Salty Eyes video? How much hopping did the guy in the Goldfrapp video really have to do? How did the masked bicyclists in the Bat for Lashes video see where they were going? Which of these are the real thing and which used digital effects?
