“A long take is an uninterrupted shot in a film which lasts much longer than the conventional editing pace either of the film itself or of films in general, usually lasting several minutes.” – Wikipedia Around 2-3 weeks ago my professor assigned us to do the infamous long take. He told us, “A film should be a long take for a reason…meaning it won’t make sense/won’t have the same effect if it’s filmed in any other way.” He then showed us a couple examples of magnificently executed long takes such as the unconventional but SUPREMELICIOUSLY GENIUS  Kylie Minogue and Lucas music videos by Michel Gondry (a.k.a Jesus with a camera/my idol) and the more traditional but still eyegasm-worthy C’était un rendez-vous by Claude Lelouch. I was 50% stoked and 50% freaked the chocolatey fudge out. How was I going to pull this off? I wanted to emulate those styles but still stay true to my own style. I ended up sticking to what I knew best…8 bit and shrooms goombas. I hope it speaks to you as much as it does to me..haa. Happy watching! It’sa me, Teresa!
