Talking heads style

Hello folks,

I'm planning on creating a 2 minute point of view on film directing. However, there is a specific style I am looking to shoot it, I know, (in essence), how I am going to do it, but just wanted to see if anyone had any pointers on it.

The style I want to shoot is to shoot it within various locations and actions.

For instance, for one sentence, I will be in an inversion session, then I will transport to jogging, then to sleeping. In essence, what I'm trying to portray is that Directing is a way of life and not just a job, therefore, expressing how directors think about directing, when they are doing what they are doing in their everyday lives.

The way I would like to do it, is through seamless cuts. The effect I would like to try is only personified, (somehow), by Daniel Craigs assassination in Layer Cake, as follows:

Or, I may film it in a way where I use Morph (is it Morph?), in Boris Consortium.

Any views or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
 
The cuts aren't seamless in the YouTube sample you linked to. ( the lighting and the grading is what made the YouTube clip work for me )

There's only one seamless cut in that example with Daniel Craig mate, when he sits down. And it is a seamless cut. I guess that clip doesn't show it in all it's glory.

That's just an example mate.

This is the best version, that original post was a bad example. 51 seconds in.
