    "I just wanna see some pleasure in your eyes."
    I think this is their goal for every music video. Mission accomplished, guys!

    You know why I like this song and video the most out of all of their songs? The material matches. The song is talking about a relationship that isn't going well but the two people are putting up a front and making everything look right. But you look closer, and everything isn't what it seems. They start with a small "The writing's on the wall," but end with a giant message saying the same thing like... there are clues, but let's ignore them and go make these beautiful, yet fake things. Then life just shouts at you "Nah, it really is like that. Just look behind you. This is a big sign."
    I honestly think, although it's not their most technically impressive video, it's certainly their most beautiful one.

      Taka “not their most technically impressive video” I know it’s not filmed in a jet in free-fall but I don’t even know how difficult it was to line up the painted walls, especially the end shot. How?!

      OK Go did a great ted talk that explains that the lead singer has always been obsessed with visual paralaxes. Super intresting.

      Here It Goes Again (their most famous video, the treadmill one) does the same thing. The song is about an attempted relationship that's going nowhere, running as hars as you can only to make no progress. Like a treadmill.

    The thing about this that I love, is not just the optical illusions, it's the fact that this is a long pan shot. Aka, the video has no cuts to different illusions. Long pans are not very common in films and even if they're incorporated, they're short. This is because long pans are really hard to make. And this video, creates multiple optical illusions with ONE long pan, managing to position the camera at just the right angles at all times, with no cuts in the footage. It is so incredibly fascinating to watch because this video accomplishes something that even Hollywood has a major difficulty with.
    I love this video.

    I love OK Go not only because they make good music videos, but at the end of a few of theirs, they try to include the production crew into it too, to show off not only their music but the people who helped the design and set building of these elaborate art pieces.
    This song is also quite personal to me too, and really speaks to a certain point in my life, so thank you OK Go

    It's so annoying to hear people say, "The video was cool, but I didn't like the song." That's the point! The band knows they don't have a typical mainstream sound, so they bust their ass making unique videos in hopes of reaching a bunch of people. Only a fraction of which will like their music, but without videos like this, people like me would not have been exposed to it and become fans of it. I'd rather they take this approach than change their sound in an attempt to fit into the mainstream. Keep up the good work, OK GO!

      @wayneadneycapehart5094 10 лет назад +12

      Can't agree more and that these sounds have been recycled since the musical style's inception in the 80's. But...why are people complaining about the sound if it's enjoyable and the video is tripping great. You know some true/real artists see the music video as a separate art form and sometimes an extension of the song or in the way that it doesn't overshadow the recording and it's lyrics. The way it should be.

    • @lillythcott
      @lillythcott 10 лет назад +13

    I listened to this song once three years ago. Then just last week I started singing "the writing's on the wall" the same way it was sang in this song. I didn't know whether what I was singing was a real song or not, I just kept singing that phrase the same exact way it was sang in this song. It happened consistently everyday, until I got fed up one day and decided to search up writings on the wall song. I went through a few songs then found this, and when I heard it sang the way I was singing it, I was totally freaked out. How could that song randomly come up to me after a few years?

      Someone in the background at 0:54

      There are just so many hidden reminders of the amount of takes and moving parts that went into this video.

  • @bryanchu5379
    @bryanchu5379 8 лет назад +352

    I was racking my brain thinking of how they could have painted everything to fit so perfectly, and then I had an idea. What if they put a projector in the place where the camera would go, and then they projected the image they wanted to make (square or circle or something else) and then they painted the surfaces that the image was being projected on. It would make it so much easier. I'm not sure if they did that or not, but it would make it so much easier.

    • @Max-yg7hf
      @Max-yg7hf 8 лет назад +15

      Bryan Chu if they did that it wouldn't be proportional. Since the projecting would be smaller on closer objects and bigger on further away obejects.

    @josephroyhab8807 2 года назад +4

    This song is the perfect song to watch twice. They almost tease you with sneak peaks of what's ahead and what is hiding in plain sight. From obvious ones (seconds before panning to the various colorful shapes), to completely "hidden" ones (having the entire box illusion given away at 0:53, starting at 3:02 you can see the writing on the walls, or at 1:27 you can see the bike and other attempts at the paint). This piece shows not just the nature of the song, in which a relationship is dying, and the clues are obvious, but also deceiving the viewer into not seeing the "signs" until it is too late. This gives the spinning, clear and concise words in the center to feel not just out of place, but not surprising to see either. OK Go perfectly shows the complicated dynamic of an amazing visual show, while still maintaining a story.

  • @anto687
    @anto687 5 лет назад +2

    I think I finally understand how this video makes me feel. It starts off quite slow on the effects, like, they're there, but you get time to process them, as then as the song moves on and you hear how the relationship is coming to a close, the effects come closer together and there's less and less time to see what's happening before we're hurried off to the next one, like trying to cram in as much stuff as possible to something you know is ending.

    While they're popular, it's a goddamn TRAJEDY this band isn't FARRRRR more popular...I mean, there's talent and there's TALENT....CRIMINALLY underrated, imho. How 'tubers that show ppl how to put makeup on end up with more followers than these guys is one of life's great mysteries.

    These OK Go one-shot music *videos* are fascinating (or the mimic of the one-shot). It actually relates to how most *music* is created. Band members make all the individual riffs, or segments of music, separately (kind of like how films piece together many individual shots). Then add them all together (in music, like in film editing) .
    *But* the interesting aspect, that most people are not aware of, is that the majority of bands do not even learn to play the songs all together at one single time to even record the album. Much like a single shot in a movie, this actually comes afterwards.
    So the more difficult, or time consuming part, is actually learning how to play it all together, at one time, for live audiences (like a continuous no-edit one-shot in film). Basically the one continuous shot, really is the visual framework for music, when it's ready to be played live *after* it's been produced. 🎶🎵🎹🎸🥁🎺🎻🎬

    "It seems like forever since we had a good day..." Yesterday, I celebrated escaping homelessness by seeing OK GO live. People you need to go listen to them live, gobsmackingly hella amazing! P.S get excited for their new music to be dropped in maybe 2yrs, if memory serves one of their new songs is called "kinda, gotta, wanna- level up"
