One Shot, Ed Sheeran movie 1 hour, no cuts supposedly, handheld camera tracking, transferred to interior car shot, then back to tracking then handed to crane/drone then back to tracking

Through the streets of New York City, walking while singing, most stop-overs where he sang to waiting crowds were held in open-air spaces with natural lighting — very well-planned — they must have blocked this (walked through it) several times..

But i think Ed Sheeran had breaks when the camera was not on him, like during the landscape shots and panning- the- trees shot …

Legally, all the bystanders and participants who can be seen within the camera frame would have had to sign off on waivers, so an entire crew and staff would have had to follow the shots for the waivers and more to work on post-prod …

The producers did not shut down road traffic so … Blocking it (walk through) on “active, uncontrolled” streets is a big risk — very bold.
