This Too Shall Pass / RGM version

This video, directed by James Frost, is flat-out incredible. OK Go spent several months with Synn Labs building a giant Rube Goldberg machine in a warehouse to create a new one-take video for the song “This Too Shall Pass”. I’m not sure how they will ever top this one, but that’s what I thought three videos ago.

    Ridiculous.

    When I was growing up I always dreamed of being able to make these machines for my profession. Then I realized there are people like this who can probably do it much better.

    DAMN!

    Man, that is simply amazing. Im super impressed that they not only managed to make something so complicated function but look beautiful at the same time.

    Freaking epicness right here. Even better than their other one for this video… I loved the little piano drop, and all the umbrellas…

    Just too much fun for words.

  13. 03:03:10 Pedro Moura Pinheiro:

    I wonder how many pianos they used… :-) (considering that their overalls were already shot with paint from previous attempts and not for effect only).

    nice remake of that fischli und weiss thing made 20 something years ago, but still cool.

    This is the coolest video I’ve ever seen in my life! I’ve watched it three times a day for the past week and still find new things. Amazing! Also, I dig the song.
