Elevation Worship didn’t film a normal music video for Paradoxology, its new album. Instead, the Spirit-filled worship outlet recorded a 48-minute video that performs all nine songs on the album from beginning to end. What’s more, the video is filmed to appear as a series of “long takes,” a film industry term for a scene shot without interruption or visible cuts from start to end. The opening shot lasts over nine minutes, with the final sequence seeming to last 21 minutes without break (though eagle-eyed viewers may be able to identify a couple of potential cuts). It’s a powerful showcase of both worship and multimedia creativity. Watch the full video here.
