A single-take video shot with a drone flying through a Minnesota bowling alley has been hailed as "stupendous" by a string of celebrities and big-name film-makers.

Key points:​

  • The video is all one-take and the only thing added in post-production was the audio
  • It took about 10 to 12 attempts
  • The filmmakers were trying to encourage people to return to bars, restaurants and bowling alleys
The near 90-second video titled Right Up Our Alley — filmed and produced at night on March 2 by Rally Studios — begins outside where the drone swoops in from across the street and through the doors of Bryant Lake Bowl in Minneapolis.

From there, the drone flies in and around bowlers in the lanes and drinkers at the bar, going in between legs and into the back compartment where the bowling pins are swept up and set up and all around — all in one shot.

For god knows what reason, I am still awake at 8:42pm and my wife and I have been watching the Oscars. And again, for god knows what reason, as we never do. Anyway, the setting is fantastic and having very limited participation makes this seem more intimate and heart-felt (probably an illusion, but....). They should do it like this every year from now on. Nothing but wheat, no chaff.

I know. I have been conditioned.
Last night was bad, though. I got up to pee at 12:30am and the boy took that as a sign of "oh, you are getting up now to feed me?". He hopped up at 1am, 1:30am, 2am, 2:30am, 3am, and 3:30 am. That's when I said "fuck it! my day is ruined now, so I might as well get up even earlier than God".
Again, the reason why I am still awake now, I don't know. And dreading what tonight's sleep may bring.
OK. I'm outta here.
