OK Go Music Video | An Amazing Feat in Engineering!
My eyes were glued to this video! The imagination, creativity and engineering are mind-boggling! The new music video from OK Go, made in partnership with Chevrolet. OK Go set up over 1000 instruments over two miles of desert outside Los Angeles.
A Chevy Sonic was outfitted with retractable pneumatic arms designed to play the instruments, and the band recorded this version of Needing/Getting, singing as they played the instrument array with the car. The video took 4 months of preparation and 4 days of shooting and recording. There are no ringers or stand-ins; Damian took stunt driving lessons. Each piano had the lowest octaves tuned to the same note so that they’d play the right note no matter where they were struck.
For more information and behind-the-scenes footage, see http://www.LetsDoThis.com and http://www.okgo.net. Many thanks to Chevy for believing in and supporting such an insane and ambitious project, and to Gretsch for providing the guitars and amps.
By the way, I also posted an interactive video by the Red Hot Chili Peppers if you want to check it out.
Enjoy! I most certainly did!!

Very impressive. OKGo makes great videos.
Here is one of James May from Top Gear recreating the Top Gear theme (Allman Brothers Band Jessica) with cars.
And here’s OK Go with the Muppets (this is just fun)
Those are pretty cool! Thanks! I had not seen either. I do like OK Go’s video with the dogs, tho.
