One Take Wonders

Dearest Mon,
As you may or may not know, college can be a swift kick in the can sometimes. The biggest pickle I've found myself in at the moment is the fact that both my art and math homework assignments clash on the same night. Both require my utmost attention because art is something I'm highly devoted to and math...well, I've been at war with math since my junior year of high school.

God help me.

But the solution I've found for this, abet it's a melancholy solution, is to drop the math class at the moment. I only need to have two semesters of math for my degree, and I can handle not having to attend a math class for a year longer. I doubt it's offered during summer semesters, but I can always look into it.

Anyway, today's topic that's not school related is one take wonders. Now, Mon, I'm sure you've seen a one take wonder before--for example, the OK Go music video to "Here it Goes Again" is a prime example of what a one take wonder is. Unfortunately, embedding has been disabled for that video, so I can only provide you with a link instead.

I swear, these are some of the snappiest dressers. I'd totally wear those outfits, no joke.

The gist of it is that a video is filmed in sync with it's musical content and has no edits. The best ones seem to have millions of views on Youtube and what have you. My personal favorites happen to be the Daft Hands and a lip dub for Flagpole Sitta.

Daft Hands. We've all written on our hands before. I remember when we were younger one of the jokes on the playground was Bob. Bob was that stick figure who resided on the palm of your hand, could do push-ups, and would become an inky smear on your other hand whenever you applauded for his athletic feats. However, this person thought it'd be a cool to synch what was written on his hands with a Daft Punk song we both know and love to bits.


Lip Dub of Flagpole Sitta. Thank God these people had so much time on their hands after work.



Until we meet again,
Pita.

PS- Of course I couldn't forget that today's the eighth anniversary of 9/11. Let's pay our respects by offering a moment of silence.
