How to Pull Off the Perfect Oner

[@emmetkowler]

I remember taking this class right after I graduated high school and was still bitter that I wouldn't be able to go to film school... Changed the way I watch movies, and now how I make them, just like Vincent said first thing that morning.

[@arielcasanova3427]

Regardless of what anyone says, I love that gorgeous action-driven one-shot in Tintin.

[@TomEyeTheSFMguy]

Yes. Absolutely gorgeous.

[@dilanrajapaksha]

Everyone says it was great

[@jaylamb218]

I took his this class a few years ago! Best money spent!!! Vincent was AWESOME!! He and his entire staff!!

[@TakingOnTheHenders]

I seriously LOVE you. I’ve been watching your videos for years. I’m a video producer, and I’ve produced hundreds of videos for clients. You’ve inspired me to finally put some effort into creating content for myself. We all have a story to tell, and now with our new channel, we’re sharing our stories. Thanks for all the hard work and hustling you do, keep it up!

[@RobertShaverOfAustin]

I attended that course when he presented it in Austin. I've taken several of the MZed classes. They're great. Here's a video that breaks down the opening "oner" in _Snake Eyes,_ which it turns out has seven cuts disguised mostly by swish-pans.

[@LastTurnFilms]

Wow, a Film Riot video could not have been better timed! I have a oner planned for a shoot we have *this weekend!*

[@ChrisSche]

Last Turn Films same here

[@LastTurnFilms]

@@ChrisSche Best of luck with your shoot!

[@AndreasTheFoot]

Film Riot is watching us :o

[@ChrisSche]

Last Turn Films thanks, you too!

[@Sebastian-kellerr]

I know right, My teacher is teaching us about oners in class right now.

[@MajorWoodStudios]

I recently had to shoot a one shot for a corporate job and it takes a lot of P's... Preparation, Practice and People! Great video as always!

[@cjngsart]

The "oner" in The Revenant is so epic!!

[@TheGeorgeD13]

Nowhere near as motivated, though. In fact, a few cuts would've made that sequence a lot better.

[@TravisSzewczyk]

His MZed class is top-notch, and how he shot the Nike commercial was really great to see.

[@BrianRondeau107]

My favorite one shot is Tony Jaa fighting his way up the stairs in The Protector. Fun stuff, I can't even imagine the coordination that scene must have taken! Also, that whole class you previewed looks great.

[@InexorableVideos]

[@maxjones503]

Huh?

[@RichRayBeatsnFilms]

😂😂

[@Electricshadows]

Hey!!! I resemble that remark...

[@mr.phillips]

2:26 is he referencing "Every Frame a Painting "when he says "a piece just came out on Vimeo about Spielberg and one shot wonders..." if so, that's a very old video, when is this from?

[@Ranger7Studios]

There is a great one shot through the ship's corridors at the beginning of the Battlestar Galactic pilot. It's one of the longest one shots in TV history. Even though I was not a huge fan of the reboot, it's still quite an impressive shot to watch. Must have taken them hours of rehearsal.

[@brokenstudiotv]

I got the notification for this video the day it came out, but I haven't been able to watch it until today. The weird thing is that just yesterday I got a deal for a ONE-TAKE Music Video, and I immediately remembered this video, so here I am. Thank you!

[@modsbeats]

Oh man that was so good both oners but the good fellas oner was explained so intriquetely. I DID NOT KNOW THAT WAS A FULL CIRCLE, FREAKN AWESOME.

[@dannyfdonahue]

This is awesome. Makes me want to watch Vincent's class now

[@BadKarma714]

I noticed that the second time i watched Goodfellas never knew why they did the full circle but that is one of my favorite parts also Tommy at the restaurant telling the story also the guy getting pistol whipped.

[@benjamingeiger]

Confession time: I didn't know what a "oner" was before I started this video.

[@AlaaEsmail_]

Benjamin Geiger I mean it’s just a one take. I never heard it being called a “oner”

[@josephdocherty7919]

@@AlaaEsmail_ I only knew what it was because Edgar Wright constantly says it in behind the scene stuff.

Goodfellas oner, went in a circle... MIND BLOWN!!! Never noticed that before and I've seen that film like 100 times!!!

[@philbarzstudioes2385]

Say the truth and the truth will set you free. Av never heard about this. Thanks a lot

[@matthew28556]

Really enjoying these series guys. Thanks

[@grittyshaker]

I have no interest in directing but yet I found this to be incredibly interesting

[@thecreativeidiot8779]

I NEVER noticed the fire hose before. **Shakes Head** Martin Scorsese: you beautiful, sneaky sonofabitch.

[@nyazillagojira7079]

aint he though

[@plentyofair3845]

you guys deserve more subscribers. seriously

[@Noealz]

best film channel on KZbin :)

[@Wes_Jones]

Fascinating. I'm going to have to start saving my pennies to buy Vincent's course!

[@brettonplacefilms2033]

how does the lighting work when you do a Oner ? the one in GoodFellas, were the lights off to the side I suppose ?

[@lunkos]

Lighting one shots is an absolute fucking nightmare. You can use a china ball on a boom above and in front of the subjects as a kind of global light, but generally you're using practical lights on location and studio lighting rigs on sound stages.

[@manningbartlett522]

I have watched Goodfellas at least 50 times. I have watched that oner 100 times. yet I never noticed the loop. Mind fucking BLOWN!

[@FerziIsayev]

Thanks Ryan for the great and important info bro keep going.

[@noahcordero8328]

I am in the process of filming a oner so this is perfectly timed!

[@sanskarpandit5072]

thanks , will never forget your contribution

[@funmigaming]

Thanks for the tips. Really want to learn one shots for my own projects

[@MrCrazyperson74]

I think the best one shot is Mr. Robot, Season 3 Ep 5. Even if there is cuts in there, it looks like the entire episode is one seamless shot.

[@Mionwang]

Nobody talks about Lubezki and especially his work on Birdman!!!

[@SamDiazProducer]

I actually bought this course and they do cover a Lubezski oner but it's the one from Children of Men.

[@robertchristosnelson3915]

Thank you so much

[@humanfactor750]

love this . thank you for sharing this.

[@samzamudio7540]

Great information

[@aaronbrungardt1527]

Incredible. This made me say wow aloud a couple times so my wife came over to see what i was impressed by and she said the same thing aloud as she saw it too.

[@ZaryPhotography]

The haunting of hill house has the best oner Change my mind!

[@Beraksekebon21]

One of the best yes

[@greynose19]

I’ll see your Hill House and I’ll raise you a Children of Men

[@manchester8117]

Maybe the funeral from "Yo Soy Cuba"? 1964...

[@mikledeepikle-4033]

What about Alfonso Cuaron????

[@davialvesanimator]

the fire hoze thing in Goodfellas blew my mind

[@datguyesef10]

"if you cant get them the right way, you get the police chief to do it for you" THAT'S DEEP!! but that's a dope shot

[@TheRedverb]

Ryan, how many Jurassic Park tops do you own?😵

[@hassantalpur6792]

Ryan!!! Could you please ahow us how to do sci fi sound effects like spaceships

[@hiskishow]

There was probably a cut point after the elevator when the photographer flashes the camera 🤔

[@TaloSilveyra]

Love it! Film Riot always there for all filmmakers. I recently shot a one-take horror film called THE HUNT, and it was an amazing challenge!

[@randbllan3613]

thank you Ryan

[@mickeysimon3789]

Does anybody know was this scene in The Untouchables shot on dolly or steadycam?

[@noahlebel-turcotte4662]

This is just simply genious

[@billzidis2656]

wow...Scorsese and palma are world class directors...and Nolan

[@AlaaEsmail_]

It is worth it to have a studio like you guys to be taken serious as filmmakers by clients and to save time and money renting places for simple studio setups??

[@travelingkaspersworld4096]

Our vote is, it is better to have friends. Have different locations available and not be sitting home waiting for the world to knock

[@aliensoup2420]

"Birdman" is essentially a one-shot movie.

[@BlacksheepPictures]

i love one takes. there is also a good one in children of men.

[@wolfgangbuck841]

BlacksheepPictures It's the whole movie, isn't it? Lol

[@gingerbreadmanquan]

DID THIS IN FILM SCHOOL BEAUTIIIIIFUL

[@GamerPo2]

In communications they told me to not walk back and forth when doing a speech... when I watched this.. I’m still gonna do it lol

[@ricardodorame]

I love your face Ryan, oh and the content is prime, thank you!

[@StephenSE9]

De Palma should've got a nomination for that scene alone

[@comicallybigdave]

My favourite oner has to be the prison fight scene in Daredevil (Netflix)

[@jeremym1288]

The revenant had a bunch of parts where the camera wasn't panning on actors or extras but just on background. I would take this with a grain of salt.

Atonement Dunkirk scene

[@daakyeheneababio6534]

Great👍🏼

[@slashchill1]

man I've learned so much from your videos. Thank you for doing this. it's been a great journey. I'm nowhere near your caliber yet but with your help I will get there. feel free to check out some of mine on here. I'd love your input

[@pgoconn]

“Like funny how? Like a clown? Like I amuse you?”

[@hiskishow]

So they had a 40 minute one shot wonder of a Laforet workshop and they cut it down to 15 minutes?

[@adrianrale]

Great video! We actually did a oner for the Film Riot/Filmstro competition. You could check it out on my channel, it's called "Portrait of my dead mother", and hopefully we've covered some of the points that make a good oner :)

[@sanilalkuttimon1755]

😍😍😍

[@somebodyhadtosayit]

My favorite one-shots break all of these "rules". Also, do we really call them "One-Shot Wonders"? What a weirdly negative term for a really cool thing. Unless you are talking about "That Thing You Do!".

[@AthanCondax]

So, let me get this straight....you guys posted a video made up almost exclusively of Vincent's work AND plugged an ad in it? Ballsy move, my friends. Ballsy move.

[@Kini_Wolfgang]

I only knew what a Oner was after watching the entire video without hearing the meaning Oner then just decided to give its meaning as the word. One, one thing, just as in twosum, threesum

[@nando8556]

I've just made my first short film(kinda) if anyone is interested please leave some feedback on how to improve. First time using a g7 as well.

[@DonovanPresents]

I thought A oner was a type of joke 😂

[@jackoakes3889]

The fact you call a one shot a "oner" is far more irritating to me than it should be but still useful video!

[@SeanofAllTrades]

Tons of people use this term.
