Reminds me of the 3 minute rube Goldberg machine in "this too shall pass" by Ok Go.

I thought they really did it all in one cut but there are at least two. Still a great music video and song.

A number of their music videos are quite creative:

* in a zero-G plane: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWGJA9i18Co

* one-take (?) on electric unicycles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1ZB_rGFyeU

* 4.2s real-time scene with the footage slowed down to 4 minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvW61K2s0tA

* Chevrolet-sponsored video where they use a moving car as an instrument: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MejbOFk7H6c

Honestly that would still be impressive if it were 20 cuts.
