      @@randomviewer3494 I don't think so, it looks like one cut. The only odd thing I saw was at 6:02 when the violinist appears. I'm not sure if that was accomplished with clever lighting or a mask added in compositing to fade her in, but she was in fact there in the studio with James. If there were any cuts and I don't think there were, it's undetectable. Bravo to James for a hugely entertaining and wonderfully made video!

    I knew it! When I saw the production level on the last vid I thought, James HAS to have a BTS coming for this.
    In a world where YT videos are all becoming just a bunch of 3 second AI gens strung together, your video drops like a bom to blow them out of the water and remind everyone what quality looks like.
    I swear, your last vid was higher production value than (possibly) most television shows nowdays.
    I love your content, but I want to thank you particularly for making a video this well-crafted. I believe it is this effort that does more than just make a great video. If it doesn't raise the bar for other creators, it's at least a wakeup call for them to not go any lower. Terrific work!

      Just watched a recent video interviewing Mark Rober (Colin and Samir's YT channel) where they shadowed him for a day of shooting. He estimated the cost of that video at $400k USD. He went on to say that a video coming out later in the year cost $3 million to make. The fact that they are STILL making a profit with these costs is the truly mind blowing fact of the current content creator economy, at least in the upper echelons of subscriber count channels.

    Having the pure vision of the video is impressive enough, but actually making it is another level indeed. Amazing! Impressive crew, impressive script, impressive all around. Thank you for this small window into a very different reality! :)
