    I wonder how many times Damian or Tim wiped out in the rotating hallway trying to perfect that section of the video!

    OK Go always cheers me up. I always think their "behind the scenes" videos will make things clear, and nope ... trying to keep track of everything that's going on nearly makes my head explode. LOL And I'm only watching! I can't even imagine how nerve-wracking it must be for the people in the videos, having to get from Point A to Point B in two seconds (without tripping!) so you're not the one to mess up an entire take.

    • @Foc4ccin4
      @Foc4ccin4 8 лет назад +1

      +violetxoxox I think that we have to give a lot of credit to the steady-camera man that made the long sequence shot. The steady cam is really heavy and he has to do all of that without fucking up once XD

    • @violetxoxox
      @violetxoxox 8 лет назад +2

      Absolutely. I've spent countless hours on the video site, watching how each individual station was done, and the complexity is jaw-dropping. It's hard enough for a single person to get through a long-shot without messing up, but to coordinate so many people working in tandem is astounding.

    • @Foc4ccin4

      Oh yes the whole crew did a great job, I just tend to appreciate steady camera mens after trying a steady cam for 5 minutes, the back pain was just real. And I imagine this took plenty of takes with extra sgadgets on the steady cam to make it rotate.

      Oh, whoops, this comment wasn't even on the video I thought it was! In my notifications, I was only able to see "OK Go - Behind the Scenes of the Red Sta," so I thought this was the behind-the-scenes video for the red square station segment for the "The Writing's On The Wall" video. LOL (That's the site I spent hours on, watching how each station was done. Steady cam through that one, too, sometimes with Damien carrying it. There's even more going on in that video than in this one. It's intense! But then, all their videos are.)

    Would love to know some of the stats for this.
    How long did it take to set up?
    How many practice run throughs did it take?
    How many "real" runs did it take until you had one that worked?
    Also... super props to the cameraman. Holy shit that must have been crazy.

  •  9 лет назад +52

    Wait, so the camera DID NOT rotate with the room? Wasn't it less practical to do it post production?
    Edit: I now see that the camera does rotate inside the round frame. I was wondering what that huge thing was for. This just became 2x more awesome.

    • @pugi212

    @fireant202 9 лет назад +28

    Wow I can't believe you guys hid all those behind the scenes cameras in there along with all the general craziness already in the video! There's definitely some strange pseudo-cut or image stabilization going on after the rotating hallway segment though right? That zoom in on the bed feels off.

    • @zikoraagbapu5135
      @zikoraagbapu5135 9 лет назад +4

      It's not a zoom, the camera moved back while the chair moved forward, so they both look like neither moved.

    • @ricinaddict
      @ricinaddict 8 лет назад +2

      Actually, its a specific thing you can do with a camera. I cant remember what its called, i heard about it from a vsauce video :-P

    • @fireant202
      @fireant202 8 лет назад +4

      Rice Curry I believe it's called a Dolly zoom: moving the camera closer while zooming out an equal rate (or vice versa). That may be what's happening here, perhaps with some image stabilization on top since this is hand held.

    • @ricinaddict
      @ricinaddict 8 лет назад +2

    • @KZ-hu9uj
      @KZ-hu9uj 8 лет назад +5

      +Jaqen I don't think they hid them during the filming, they just did one run to show what they did for the behind the scenes. You could see it was clearly not the original video with the movements they were doing.

    Still dont get the PHYSICS of the shot of the Rolling House @1:44
    If the camera stayed straight, while the house was turning, then you should see the house turning around [with the lamps going form top to bottom for example].
    Did they stabilize the footage so that the house/corridor stays straight all the time? [probably gotta shoot @4k or more for that so the edges of the frame wont be show [gotta zoom in the footage] hmmm

    • @CoreyWilson
      @CoreyWilson 8 лет назад +7

      +eladbari The round cage around the camera allows it to rotate, so while the room is rotating the camera is also rotating even though the camera operator is not. Keep a close eye on the camera at 1:56 and you will see it rotating. Make sense?

    • @eladbari
      @eladbari 8 лет назад

      Corey Wilson hey buddy! thanks for sharing your thoughts :]
      As hard as i try to look again at that scene, no. I dont see any rotating camera. The camera is on a Steadicam which is attached to the cameraman at All times. And the cameraman does not rotate with the building [if he was-they'd have to tie him down to rotate alongside that corridor's floor, so the camera will always match the floor at its bottom. But it doesnt happen.
      Watch this scene again and youll see.

    • @CaptainMcSmoky

    • @eladbari
      @eladbari 8 лет назад +2

      +CaptainMcSmoky Holy shit. excuse me, as i was not expecting that!
      Now i see that little rounded cage of the camera and how it turns, while i was expecting the camera to be secured to the ground so its physically rotating with the whole stage!
      I think this is quite Nuts! I mean, how did they operate the timing and the rotation's speed so perfectly alongside the floor?
      Gotta be computerized somehow, otherwise you would see the camera and the floor of that corridor mismatch while in motion. That's pretty nuts and amazing altogether :]

    • @texabyte
      @texabyte 8 лет назад +5

      +eladbari There was an interview with the op I believe. they shot in 5k and edited in 4k so they could fix small errors in rotation in post, but the rotation was just very carefully synced.

    • @alecjarnagin9041
      @alecjarnagin9041 Год назад +1

      He is wearing weights to equal the weight of the Steadicam Operator so when the operator (me) steps on the crane, he steps off as the crane needs to balanced for easy operating (think see-saw).
