Ok Go

I always look forward to their latest video because they always have a little something extra re: the Rube Goldberg, their marching band through the woods & the walk-dance on the treadmills. Now get this - in their latest for End Love they dressed up in single colored track suits and played with the speed of time, and of course some glow sticks. No biggie.

Jeff Lieberman who directed the video (with Eric Gunther) had this to say: “The fastest we go is 172,800x, compressing 24 hours of real time into a blazing 1/2 second. The slowest is 1/32x speed, stretching a mere 1/2 second of real time into a whopping 16 seconds. This gives us a fastest to slowest ratio of 5.5 million. If you like averages, the average speed up factor of the band dancing is 270x. In total we shot 18 hours of the band dancing and 192 hours of LA skyline timelapse – over a million frames of video – and compressed it all down to 4 minutes and 30 seconds! Oh and don’t forget, it’s one continuous camera shot.”
“We also made a special friend in the process. Her name is Orange Bill and she’s a goose. You will agree that she clearly has a future in music videos.”

I know these guys love their elaborate music videos, but I wonder what these guys are like live....

OK Go

OK Go love their one-shot music videos – you know that ever so infamous treadmill video they released a few years ago that was a sensation on that youtube site, which is all the craze with the kids these days. They followed it up with a video for single WTF? which didn’t get nearly as much buzz… So, only makes sense to hit us with another one-shot-er for their latest 'This Too Shall Pass'. This video has single handedly made me afraid to walk through the forest by myself AND made me wish I was part of a marching band all within 3 minutes and 51 seconds. Did somebody say ribbons? Weird. Word.
