It doesn’t compare to this shot, but I particularly enjoyed the one episode of the The Studio with Seth Rogan where it starts with him driving to a filming location where they were going to do a one shot scene and he was explaining to someone how difficult they are to pull off, etc.

The episode was funny (although cringey too) for the things that happened in it.

But what was quite clever I thought was that the episode was itself done (at least seemingly) in one-shot.

I remember on a podcast interview I listened to that he said he intentionally made every episode as close to a “oner” as possible using very long takes and hidden transitions where possible.

It’s to heighten the sense of anxiety and tension for the viewer in order to amplify the comedy.

Great show!
