    I think a great ending would have been hearing the director yell, "CUT!!"

    "I'm going to need another take. . .." :)



    Too cool! I loved mousetrap when I was a kid.

    Love the band...and love their imagination!! They have re-invented the "music video" and it's nothing but entertainment;D

    Thanks for sharing Matt, I heard about the video and have been meaning to check it out. Cheers!

    Makes me wonder if it was real or computer driven?

    No, I'm betting it was all real....have you seen their other video with the treadmills?

    YouTube - OK Go - Here It Goes Again

    ...I think it took a crazy amount of takes to get right, so I'm guessing this was the same deal.

    If you look closely at the background, or the space between the two front treadmills, you'll see the entire video is comprised of dozens of takes. It's not easy to see, but it's discernable if you look hard. What looks like one single camera shot, really isn't. In fact, the takes almost coincide with the beat. Count, 1, 2, 3, change. 1, 2, 3 change; and you'll make it out! It's good direction and a rock solid tripod. ;) If they didn't have a flexible background, I might not have noticed.

    Entertaining video.

    I have always been fascinated with Rube Goldberg devices. Honda has an awesome commercial using the Rube Goldberg idea using nothing but Honda parts. Pretty Cool
