OK Go (lots of links!)

OK, so I spent some time on YouTube today just surfing around and came across soe really cool videos, all by the band OK Go. Originally hailing from Chicago (now in LA), this foursome has a very fun feel that I love. They also have a goal to make a music video for all the songs on their new album, Of the Blue Colour of the Sky, which so far they have done some tremendous work. They post all their videos on YouTube, where they have become wildly successful. This is what I'll share with you today.

This Too Shall Pass(Rube Goldberg Edition)

This is one of my favorite videos because of the Rube Goldberg machine involved. They used about 40 engineers and physicists from CalTech and other such smart places to make a "Brain Trust" to come up with ideas, and then did the entire video in one take(not the first(see the paint on their clothes), but still impressive!).

This Too Shall Pass (Marching Band Edition)

This edition of the video I like as much, if not better than the other, mostly because it has a Marching Band in it (Notre Dame). I like the camo, and especially the spelling out the letters in black and white.

Invincible

Things blow up. That's all I have to say.

WTF?

Though the lyrics may be a little racy, the video is VERY cool. It's very similar to the extended exposure shots I do with photography. I especially like their thriftiness in making this one (dollar store for almost all of it. That and gaff tape).

And finally, the video that started it all:

Here It Goes Again

The original favorite, it is now the most favorited video on YoutTube with over 50,000,000 views!

Besides these, they have a couple other videos that I really enjoy, including this one, just because it's so simple.

Enjoy!
