Go Behind the Scenes of
OK Go’s New Video for
“The Writing’s On the Wall”

The band famous for its videos gets messy in this exclusive clip
http://time.com/2889557/ok-go-music-video-the-writings-on-the-wall/

The band OK Go has long been synonymous with music video events — ever since they unleashed their iconic treadmill clip in 2006, both their fans and late-night YouTube procrastinators have come to expect some combination of single-shot takes, coordinated dance routines, elaborate stop-motion animation and, occasionally, some cute animals.

Their latest visual offering, for “The Writing’s on the Wall” from this year’s Hungry Ghosts, is no exception. And with drummer Dan Konopka getting splashed by colorful, seemingly gravity-defying paint in one scene, you could say it’s technically one of their dirtiest music videos ever. In an exclusive behind-the-scenes video for TIME, Konopka and director Aaron Duffy show off the video shoot’s central paint-delivery apparatus and the many people making sure Konopka is adequately drenched in a timely fashion.

“We don’t view [music videos] as promotional materials for the ‘real’ thing, the song,” OK Go frontman Damian Kulash told TIME last year. “To us the song is the real thing when you’re listening to the song and the music video is the real thing when you’re watching the music video.”

AS PER USUAL, the crazy paranoid Music Chieftains have DECREED that the Youtube video of "Upside Down & Inside Out" be taken down.
(Really, Why? It'll will be back sooner than later.)

IN THE MEANWHILE, OK (and go) HERE (the video SHOULD work):  http://www.engadget.com/2016/02/11/ok-go-zero-g-music-video/

OK Go
flies in zero G for
its latest music video

Floating weightlessly is so much fun...
if you're not susceptible to motion sickness





Chicago-based band OK Go has released a fun and colorful music videoshot entirely inside a parabolic plane. Since a parabolic flight goes up and down like a wave, it induces periods of microgravity and hypergravity (1.8 times the strength of gravity). Space agencies have been using the technique for decades to train their astronauts before shipping them off to space.

While it looks like the band had lots of fun -- you can see them in the video floating weightlessly and doing acrobatics -- these flights are no joke. They can be so intense that NASA's first parabolic plane was dubbed the "Vomit Comet." OK Go joined forces with Russian carrier S7 Airlines to shoot the video, but you have a choice closer to home that's tried and tested by Stephen Hawking.

(If one might rate everything in the helter skelter jackdaw jumble in the attic of my mind, from dross to the shiny, any new OK Go video is going to be one of the more happy making--CAW!)
