Stop whatever you’re doing and watch this insane OK Go video

[LiberalArkie]

Indie rock band OK Go has a reputation for doing wild and crazy one-shot videos for it’s new releases, and today’s reveal on NBC’s Today show is no exception.
Check out this insane short film where the band performs its second single “I Won’t Let You Down” from the new album Hungry Ghosts. They chair dance atop Honda UNI-CUBs, “omni-directional driving wheel systems” that are in the development stage. Think sitting-down Segways and you’ll have an idea.

Snip

Not only are those mono-wheel robot things amazing, but check out the umbrella craziness there at the end. When the camera first pans upwards from the ground, our first thought was, “oh, wow, they’ve been shooting this whole video with a crane.”
Then the camera goes higher, and higher. Then higher still. That’s not a crane. It’s actually a custom-built “multi-copter camera,” according to the press release, that was developed for this specific video.

1. Pretty cool

Someone thought outside of the box here. Quite creative, and impressive.

4. The fact that it was all done in 1 take is amazing

[ReRe]

2. Why?

3. I think that's a great video.

Those scooters do strike me as the equivalent of the three wheel scooters for the elderly and handicapped

We don't need another reason to not exercise as long as we are well enough to do so.

[Dawgs]

5. Eh. Didn't like the song and got bored pretty quick.

Glad that others enjoyed it, I guess.

Johnny LaRue pissed his pants.

7. Pretty cool... but...

Unicycle-like vehicles? Goofing around with umbrellas. They're ripping off the Monkees!

Relevant part starts at 1:39 if the link doesn't start there.

9. Well that was a waste of time

Stop whatever I'm doing? Please don't do that again unless you have something more interesting than dancing with the stars.

14. The OP title clearly stated it was an OK Go video...

...and the video/song is great!

[Cartoonist]

15. A matter of taste

Not bad, but hardly exceptional. Never heard of OK Go, so that wasn't a clue for me.

10. Somewhere

Busby Berkeley is spinning in a fit of jealousy. Great fun!

13. OK GO the singing group has had a number of other great videos

Worth taking a look if you liked this one.

Their mixing of technological marvels, like these scooters and the drone camera that took the shots here.

Pure genius, if you ask me.

Hard for me to believe it was done in one continuous take, but I have been told that.
