oner

But doing the special as a so-called oner — and with a limited number of chances to get it right — also posed an invigorating creative challenge for a performer who’s been entertaining crowds since he was 15.

Arkapaw: The scene looks like a oner, but it’s three Steadicam shots, 76 seconds each, stitched together.

It used to be that a “one shot,” or “oner,” was only associated with movies.

Indeed, though the oner is frequently associated with a fast pace, it also can slow things down, making it hard for audiences to look away.

Moorhead and directing partner Justin Benson filmed three episodes of the action drama’s first season, including the premiere episode, which features a oner of a fight scene down a narrow hallway.
