Ok Go "End Love" - Dir: Ok Go, Eric Gunther, Jeff Lieberman
Great fun. Quality!
Fun like Herpes and twice as viral! BTW A-punk called. It wants its schtick back.
10/10
I really think these guys should start their own ad agency. Video was hard to watch and song wasn't steller but their work is very copywriter-ish.
fat people shouldn't wear skinny jeans
love the song, love the video and I'm fine with skinny jeans on anybody ;)
One goes 'oh-hum, more pixilation, oh well...' but they know how to add fresh stuff. Real fun video.
That final scene looks like an homage to the similar closing one on Peter Gabriel's 'Sledgehammer'.
Oh and that duck!
^ surely it's a goose or maybe they just have giant ducks in california ;)
“The fastest we go is 172,800x, compressing 24 hours of real time into a blazing 1/2 second. The slowest is 1/32x speed, stretching a mere 1/2 second of real time into a whopping 16 seconds. This gives us a fastest to slowest ratio of 5.5 million. If you like averages, the average speed up factor of the band dancing is 270x. In total we shot 18 hours of the band dancing and 192 hours of LA skyline timelapse – over a million frames of video – and compressed it all down to 4 minutes and 30 seconds! Oh and don’t forget, it’s one continuous camera shot.”
“We also made a special friend in the process. Her name is Orange Bill and she’s a goose. You will agree that she clearly has a future in music videos.”
Nice one. The song is slightly better than usual. They should definitely start directing full time.
What camera did they use?
My guess: Casio EXILIM EX-FC100 or any other Casio that shots high-speed.
you guessed wrong, mta.
sez j lieberman: "It's one take, not one shot. Apologies for anyone who took it wrong, but the important thing [to us] was that it was filmed continuously, all at once instead of separately. It required three different cameras - a sony EX3 for normal 30fps shooting, a dSLR for the long time lapse at the end [which was mounted in the park on a tree] and a Phantom high speed camera for the two slow motion shots. Technically it's relatively straightforward though - the EX3 has dual card slots that you can hotswap - so it recorded continuously for 18 hours (it has variable framerate so night time we took it down to 1fps to save space); the phantom cannot record more than a few seconds at 1500fps (the top speed we recorded) so it has to be cross cut. We had a generator on hand and a hot-swap battery attachment for the EX3. When shooting 2 hours in 4 seconds you have plenty of extra frames to let people use the bathroom and in fact, eat...
I'm quite sure we'll put together a making-of video, so people can see all the detail work. Having them lip sync at 1/500x was probably one of the bigger challenges (a single line took ~40 minutes)."

i still dont understand the ok go craze i still dont like it didnt even bother to watch the whole video, had to go after 10 seconds
indeed I did, just saw a crappy low-res youtube version... is there a hd version?

thanks, but doesn't work for my region... I hate when youtube does that...
I'll take this instead. Better song, better concept, better band, better video. Not part of the Ok Go craze, appreciate their last video just not my sorta thing.
Their videos overshadow the music, it should be the other way around for a musical act. Drop the music and start directing, ok go. Great but it's an art project less a video.
