Just Watch This….
March 3, 2010
Super rad video from OK GO . Just watch it.
From Wired.com via CNN:
“For its latest video, released on YouTube Monday night, pop band OK Go recruited a gang of very talented engineers to build a huge, elaborate Rube Goldberg machine whose action perfectly meshes with the band’s song, “This Too Shall Pass,” from the band’s new album, “Of the Blue Color of the Sky.”
For nearly four minutes — captured in a single, unbroken camera shot — the machine rolls metal balls down tracks, swings sledgehammers, pours water, unfurls flags and drops a flock of umbrellas from the second story, all perfectly synchronized with the song.
A few gasp-inducing, grin-producing moments, when the machine’s action lines up so perfectly, you can only shake your head in admiration at the creativity and precision of the builders.
Those builders were Syyn Labs, a Los Angeles-based arts and technology collective that has a history of doing surprising, entertaining science and tech projects that involve crowds of people, at a monthly gathering called Mindshare LA.”
Mindshare LA is amazing! I’ve gone a few times and it’s so much fun. Check it out. I have a feeling it’s going to be a bit more crowded than normal now thanks to this cool video from the people at Synn Labs.
Giggles aplenty. Thanks!
