Another interesting music video by Ok Go has them in a airplane as it hits 0 G where they float about doing various actions on the plane looking very interesting and fun.
In the behind the scene they explained how they managed to shoot the video. To start they did a lot of experimenting with various props spending about a week working with Russia's cosmonaut team testing what fluids and props looked cool when shooting as well as working out what will cause visual chaos. Along with this they also needed to work out how to float in 0G as most people either try to swim resulting in them looking panicked or them throwing up.
After experimenting with their props and getting used to the flight they went straight onto practicing the video due to the small time frame they had to do to shoot. When going into 0G they have only 27 seconds before returning to gravity so in order to shoot the three minute video they broke the video into 8 segments to make the floating look as seamless as they can. So planning and timing was key as they had 5 minutes to get back to 0G's.
Another challenge they had to overcome was how to shoot the song in 27 seconds, as the song was broken into 21 seconds between segments of the song so what they did was to slow the song down by -28.5% while shooting meaning that the band would have to sing in slow motion but when it speed up it would look normal, allowing them to get a lot more out of their 27 seconds of 0G.
It's definitely an interesting video to check out and even more so to watch the BTS.
