You've all seen first person or POV videos at some point -- but the new Biting Elbows music video is something else entirely. Continuing with the Insane Office Escape Series (insane is an understatement), Ilya Naishuller (who is also in the band) directs another video with balls-to-the-wall non-stop action -- giving movies like Crank a run for their money.

What do you guys think? Can you spot some of the clever tricks and cuts that help sell some of the more difficult shots?
