This Is Simply The Music Best Vid Evah ...
Feed Your ADHD ^ | 3/3/2010 | Snarky Basterd

Really. It's mesmerizing, with the detail of a Hollywood blockbuster and the simplicity of an Indie camcorder shooting. The song isn't nearly as good as Ok Go's first video sensation, A Million Ways. But the choreography for this thing is stunning. It even has a whole Wired article dedicated to its making.

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.

HEY! Don't be like that. It can't all be about the Community Organizer in Chief.

I think that’s very clever and well done. And in one take. Nice to see young kids take their work seriously. Good for them.

Well, that's relevant ... to nothing.

Also, your money obviously hasn't helped with your reading skills: WATCH THE CHOREOGRAPHY, FORGET THE MUSIC. (BTW: You must be in the mob, since your "cash" hasn't done much for your punctuation skills: "If your over 10 yrs old, don’t bother,, .")

And in one take.

I doubt it ... or they wouldn't have been covered with paint already.

Here's one that took 607 takes before they got it right:

They might have done this several times. And just not bothered to changed clothes. You know, kids.

That’s amazing, thanks. I read the back story on that some years ago. Made my toes curl.
