Not only was this video the funnest I've seen in a while, it was a technical tour de force. Amazing how the whole thing was one long pan, an elaborately choreographed scene that had to be played through from start to finish, and if any of those actors tripped or ran into something while they were walking and singing backwards, everyone would've had to pick up their stuff and start over. It's something that even professional filmmakers don't seem to try very often. Altman's opening scene of The Player was like this, and there was one musical number in De-Lovely that followed a whole bunch of different characters around for this long, but I can't think of many. It was a shot worthy of Stanley Kubric, who loved to take his dolly for a stroll- like those endless trips down the trenches in Paths of Glory. I think Stanley would be proud of what these kids managed to pull off. And it was fun!
