JBL “Ear of the Tornado” by Psyop

“Ear of the Tornado” has the fantastic quality we look forward to from Psyop – but it’s also an object lesson in how to nail the one shot approach. In lesser hands, this could easily have turned into a 45 second slog, but here, the pacing is incredible.

Bonus points – the airborne string of lights that we start to really see around the 26 second mark.
