I was talking to someone the other night about music videos.
They listed their favourites and, surprisingly, there were no mentions for those bonkers Los Angeles-based funsters OK GO!
I tried to explain what the OK GO! music video culture is all about and, unsurprisingly, I failed.
So help me, internet, here are two OK GO! videos of the same song (This Too Shall Pass).
Both videos were filmed in glorious one-take, live shooting (though there were retakes, obviously).
Which is your favourite?
And why?
This one?
Or this one?
Are these the same guys who did the song on the running treadmill machines?
I think you mean this little beauty? (yes, this too is OK GO!)
A post so good you did it twice? 🙂
As before, B is my favourite, just for the sheer complexity of it all and the effort that must have gone in to making it all work in – what I assume is – one take..
Bollocks. Senile, obv.
