Yes, this video was shot in a single take, and to get it right they had to perfectly synchronize an iPod nano, three MacBooks, two iPads, two iPad minis, and six iPhones. They started by drawing the story's characters and scenes, and then figured out how to synchronize all the screen fragments from paper to the video animations for each device in Adobe Premier. This was their biggest challenge and it took them several months to accomplish.
After getting the animation itself created there were two more difficult challenges to overcome; First, was getting everyone to press play at the exact same time for the film, and second, having everyone position all 14 gadgets perfectly. The band said getting this done in a single shot "took dozens [of tries] and then add 50." But in the end, it was worth the effort.
