Oh my God... I just found this on the official website:

http://www.thebaseballs.com/videos/rocknroll

How *mental* is that?? It's, like, 3 minutes long and appears to be a 
single take. Crazy!

I had no idea Poland was anywhere near this cool.

Thanks for sharing - this is cool indeed.

Remotely reminds me of a band called "Big Daddy". They did some good 
"retro-cover" music, too - though not strictly Rock&Roll, and it's been 
a few years now.

Did you watch Children of Men?  There's a scene that seems like 5 or 8 
minutes long, all one take, of him running through a war zone, into a 
building which gets blown up, back out again, etc etc etc.

It's a fun music video and all, but as far as technical achievement for 
long single take videos this is not very impressive nor very novel (not 
knocking the band, I'm sure they have a limited budget and aren't out to 
make a technically impressive video anyway).

In the realm of music videos (of which I know very little) I think that 
Ok Go's "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qybUFnY7Y8w is much more 
impressive in this regard (and is inspired by equally or more impressive 
previous work, such as that by Peter Fischli and David Weiss).  There's 
also several full-length movies which are essentially shot in a single 
take,  Rope (Hitchcock) and Russian Arc (Aleksandr Sokurov) both come to 
mind.  Multi-minute long takes in film actually aren't that uncommon.

  Actually taking into account the total amount of movies out there,
and the extremely small amount of multi-minute long takes, I'd say
it is pretty uncommon.

  Some TV series also sometimes make some really long take, probably just
for the fun of it. For example, at the beginning of the Stargate episode
"Fallen" there's a rather complex uncut sequence of over 50 seconds (the
one that ends with "I hope it's not contagious").

If you are interested in single shot films then try Russian Ark. 96 
minutes of St. Petersburg's State Hermitage Museum shot in one fluid 
take using High Definition video cameras.

I actually mentioned Russian Arc in my post :), but yeah, it's really 
impressive.

Good point, I should probably have gone with a word like "rare" instead.

I haven't really watched much of the Stargate TV series.  How is it?
