Thank you for the genuine laugh.

Well, technically they play Baguette.

KHS plays his Monkeys ^^

Ikr! Brilliant.

Lets talk about how thats NOT one take

I only saw about two or three possible hidden cuts

@@DigoRKS The attempt to make it look 'one take' is always a cool thing to do. - the music loving Klingon

@@Qoltar No doubt! I couldnt even get close to this even in 10 years hahaha This IS a great job... But saying its one take its kind of a clickbait

Legend!

we all need to not stop believin'?

@@drakedarkstar5422 you're right

2021 Jan, still

Doesn't matter if it's 2020 or 202020, this is what we need regardless. Don't ever stop believin'

Now May 2021 and still need.

RadicalScotsman FFS, listen to the song and don't look at the screen if the performance bothers you that fucking much, Jesus fucking Christ... you people will literally complain about anything, won't you?

The main reason I subscribe and watch PMJ videos is because they are real, and NOT lip syncing. If people want to express their opinion on what makes PMJ great, they can do that without out you LOL at them. Produced Videos and lip syncing is not where I want to see PMJ go.

You can always go watch the other 300 PMJ videos that are done with live sound and let people enjoy things. PMJ is full of insanely creative people, they don't always want to do the same thing over and over, that's what makes them great.

+Bruce. Will do that. But I am expressing my opinion, that this is NOT the direction I wan't to see PMJ go. Is it OK with you if I express my opinion?

I just laughed at the random fart XD

Rebecca Vocal Athlete I could tell where the edit points are but it still works. The only thing I noticed is that some shots were done during the day and some at night.

@@fatheroffab Jesus Jim I bet you're fun at parties :/

@@manneroo Actually I am! I’ve just had a trained eye for production quality since I was 15!

@@fatheroffab Where are these edit points you thing you saw, because this was actually done in one continuous take.

@@57thorns Every time the shot goes dark for a quick second and leaves one room/scene to another.

SAME! :D

Seriously. Same. For me, 2024. wtf, how did i miss this?

Mariel 😀

The continuity of the shot, simply amazing!!

in a single take boi, that's sure makin me surprised

@@viktorlopez7792 Makes the Copacabana tracking shot from Goodfellas looks lame by comparison.

How did they pull that off? Amazing video.

🎉💖

Except there are cuts. So called one takes are never one takes. It's cleverly hidden cuts in editing that make you think that it's one cut, while in reality it's bunch of 10-20 second takes stitched up together to make it look like a one take. Whenever there is something covering the screen from bottom to the top (Even if sides are not covered) there is a hidden cut, when camera passes by something like at 00:34 the wall without any moving elements, than again at 00:45 wall again (this one is super obvious), than 01:01 man's back etc. Nontheless top notch cinematography and editing.

Marko Todorovic I get what you mean and I agree. Those non movable objects like the wall can transition to a different scene.

@@markotodorovic7013 DOP Clint Byrne says on the Blackmagic Design website (a BMD camera was used): “We initially had a backup plan of using cut points which we had inserted in the choreography but in the end, we didn’t need to use them. Once we started shooting and saw everything in motion, we realized that it would be possible to do it as a real one take and that we could achieve our goal. We couldn’t be happier with the end result." It took the crew 17 takes! The tricks you mentioned were used e. g. in Alfred Hitchcock's "Rope". They had to do that as the camera couldn't hold enough film stock to shoot the entire film in one go.

@@axelvetter Well they are used to this day in modern so called one takes. But it is really suprising that this is areal one take. Because there is so many moments in which it appears like there is a hidden cut.

@@markotodorovic7013 Also 3:11. The camera movement is super unnatural as it focuses in on the dancer's face and then pans back out to the tapdancing. If it is a true one-take, it might just be some strange editing because there is definitely some digital zoom/movement there

Thank you so much, David, we had a blast! You can get the song on iTunes here: smarturl.it/pmjjourney

And he already has the cast figured out too ...

I would give my life to see a PMJ Musical.

I would watch the hell out of that musical.

Danny Kopp Hope he will someday tbh

SO TRUUUE

Yes, it reminds me Sixpence's Breathe Your Name, the wonderfully wacky random people just passing through.

Ethan H. Werd.

Ethan H.- You sir, you are the man.

Classical Literature Puns ftw

people today dislike anything that isn't seen to use a super computer or requires actual talent to play, at least that's my best guess.

@Ethan H. Lol, love this comment. Nearly snorted my coffee out my nose! XD @noi Med That's what I love about PMJ and this internet age of music. Both have caused a huge resurgence in interest for Jazz. Even the radio is starting to get songs with that retro flavor, including Jazz. PMJ has revolutionized modern music and I love them for it.

Beleive me i really don't want to be that guy but. You mean like how it is in a musical?

Please, more. I want more.

Be honest. How many takes did it take?

You were one of the biggest highlights of a video crammed with highlights. Such a killer voice.

audreyxuan wow that's the best idea I've read on here!!!

Welcome to Postmodern Jukebox crew!!

Sara is a girl, last I checked anyways.

I would like it.

I guess that means "I looooove this!"!

PostmodernJukebox - YES YES YES YES YES

VIC TORIA Χίο πιτζαμοηρωςες the

Sooooo behind this idea

Another vote for this!

You do realize this was all done on one take, yes? If they do another one-take video they could do, at the most, the style changes musically (like the evolution of Pop music video done by Pentatonix as an example). To change set design and wardrobes would defeat the purpose of the "one-take" challenge though (in my opinion).

Randy Smith It might not meet the "one take" challenge, but it still would be a great concept, especially with PMJ doing it.

Randy Smith you’d be amazed at how quick a costume change can be done. Not one person was in the shot the entire time, once they were off camera, they do a quick change.

Yep.

Yeah - what's with the singing staff? ;) They never get anything done!

One of the perils of living in a world that runs on Broadway musical rules, I guess. The music takes them and they're just gone for the next two or three minutes, and no amount of yelling or screaming will be audible.

but you have to admit they are great singers, i love the first singer's voice she is HOT, yes i know it is you Sara

With such a wonderful voice as you have Sara, I am sure people would be glad to go hungry :)

The waiters are awesome! This video should win awards, it's top class!

I'd be honored if some fans of classic 80s rock anthems would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of EYE OF THE TIGER by Survivor, PURPLE RAIN by Prince, and AGAINST ALL ODDS by Phil Collins on my YT channel in tribute to the era of legendary power ballads. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks & keep on rocking.

Well all apart from glee

Sara Niemietz iiiilliiiiiiiillllllllllllliiiiossso

Haha i think that was the intended effect.

@@ClintByrne It's not really one take. The editing seams are evident if one knows where to look. It's still an impressive piece.

Robb Reel haha that's funny I shot it we actually choreographed points if we needed to cut but this was the final take and outside of a digital zoom it was all one long take. Source: me I carried the camera, lit the rooms, and sang along the whole time. PMJ is super talanted

@@ClintByrne I am not doubting the incredible talent, nor that each take was one long shot, but no amount of insistence will convince me that it's a single, unedited take when I can see the seams.

Robb Reel I totally understand because we choreographed places (doorway, back-wipe, doorway, curtain) we could cut but in the end there weren't any! Personally I would have liked one more take because as the DP/cam op I can see all the times the Movi was fighting me and some other technical details, but the dancers, extras, band, singers were working really hard and I was relieved when the director called a wrap. However due to time constraints and fear that it wouldn't work during the planning we had to have cut points as a backup plan. In the end we did 17.5 takes and they used the last one, I get why you think there are cute because we planned it but luckily we had everything workout so we could use one take which was always my goal because I love real one takes. I want to do another one like this with the band in the future tho we learned a lot doing this. And they keep putting out inspiring new songs.

kojak316 yes bro

kojak316 do you really need to swear ?

Thank you!

I haven't looked at the comments in quite a while (well until just now) but back when it was released, I vaguely remember some people moaning that it wasn't the standard 'people in front of a microphone' type performance. Change is bad and all that I guess.

R. L. Dodson this is the first time since 2009 that I haven’t thought about Glee when listening to this song

I usually think about the underappreciated Jeffrey Dean Morgan movie 'The Losers' when I hear this song, lol.

Now that's call back...

I've seen this video a million times and had never noticed this, thank you, you made my day!
