OK GO - Kings Of The One Take Video

Last week I posted about an awesome one take music video for Diane Birch's 'Valentino'.....

Now, I'm sure you've all heard of OK GO. They're the kings of the one take video.... They were big before, but they skyrocketed to fame after they filmed their one take music video for 'A Million Ways' in their backyard.... Apparently, that video can't be embedded, but you can see it here.....

After the wild success of the 'A Million Ways' video, OK GO released their second one take video for 'Here It Goes Again'.... You know the video, four guys with four treadmills in a basement.... Seamlessly hopping from treadmill to treadmill....

For OK GO's newest one take experiment, the band created two one take videos for the new single 'This Too Shall Pass'....

The first video features the band member marching around in a wooded area, while a marching band in camouflage pop out of nowhere with their instruments to accompany the band.... The marching band video can't be embedded either, but you can see it here....

In their second video for 'This Too Shall Pass', and possibly their most impressive video, OK GO created a Rube Goldberg Machine that works continuously for around four minutes!

Their latest stunt wasn't a one take music video, but definitely worth checking out.... At the Maker's Fair in New York City, OK GO played a set while underwater.... Well, the band members had buckets of water on their heads and the lead singer was completely submerged in a water suit / goldfish aquarium....

Side note: You can skip the first 11 minutes of this video.... The first 11 minutes is all about the guys getting into their water outfits, the play their first song (I Want You So Bad I Can't Breathe) at around the 11 minute mark, and their second song (This Too Shall Pass) at around the 17:15 mark of the video....

Before I start this post, I want to let you all know about a fellow blogger going through a very difficult time.... Michelle from Momma's Pixie Dreams has received the horrifying news that her 16 month old daughter has cancer.... Ian from The Daily Dose Of Reality has really gone out of his way to help by setting up a site for donations to help cover medical and physical therapy costs, and over $3,000 has been raised already! If you click on Monkey's picture below, you'll be directed to the donation site.... Any and all donations are greatly appreciated, and any money remaining will go to help another family battling cancer....

Lately it seems that the music video is a lost art.... The amazingly talented Diane Birch has created an amazing music video for her new song 'Valentino'!

The video was shot in one take, and as you can see by the director's board, it took at least 57 takes to get the video right....

Here's the music video and a 'behind the screen' view of how the video was made!
