Music clip of the 22nd 11enth.


"OK go" from Chicago, Illinois. Never heard of them, until today.

How did they make it to the music clip of the 22nd 11enth then?

Well, working with young people gives you a lot of impulses and inspiration, and this was one of those kinds of thing happening.

Some of the students are working on a film from the swimming gala a while back, and then we were talking about music and then searching for some inspiration on that major video sharing platform you know, you can find on this internet.

The music is all right, but that is not why I've chosen to put this up. No, I put it up because of the videos and the amazing choreography in them, and that it is all done in one shot, in one take so to speak.
It is a very cool concept and so full of fantasy and surprises and I wonder how much time they must have been rehearsing and how many takes they had to go through, to make it all come out like it did.
Enough of talking, enjoy.


They even do different video versions of the same song, here exemplified by the song: "This Too Shall Pass".
Again the one shot strategy and some planing and timing.


and then it gets even more weird and nerdy, but very entertaining.
