Ok Go | “Needing/Getting” Official Video

:

Ces types sont fous. Bon, c’est pas exactement comme si on le découvrait, mais il faut reconnaitre que chaque nouvelle vidéo de Ok Go est une vraie surprise. Ils réussissent toujours à aller plus loin, tout en restant cohérents avec leurs précédentes vidéos. Mais les mots sont superflus et tenter de décrire cette nouvelle performance est une pure perte de temps. Seul un visionnage complet permettra de prendre la mesure du degré d’implication que ce groupe met dans ces clips. Et de faire naîtra par la même occasion ces pertinentes mais angoissantes questions : “Combien ? Comment ? Où ça ? Pendant combien de temps ? Vraiment ???”…

These guys are crazy. But well, it’s not exactly as if we discovered it, but we must recognize that each new video of Ok Go is a real surprise. They always manage to go further, while remaining consistent with their previous videos. But words are superfluous and trying to describe this new performance is a total waste of time. Only a viewing will take full measure of the degree of involvement that this group puts in these clips. And at the same time it’ll make you ask yourself these relevant but agonizing questions: “How many ? How ? Where ? How long ? Really ???”…

“The new music video from OK Go, made in partnership with Chevrolet. OK Go set up over 1000 instruments over two miles of desert outside Los Angeles. A Chevy Sonic was outfitted with retractable pneumatic arms designed to play the instruments, and the band recorded this version of Needing/Getting, singing as they played the instrument array with the car. The video took 4 months of preparation and 4 days of shooting and recording. There are no ringers or stand-ins; Damian took stunt driving lessons. Each piano had the lowest octaves tuned to the same note so that they’d play the right note no matter where they were struck. For more information and to download the studio version of the song for free, visithttp://www.LetsDoThis.com/stunts and http://www.okgo.net. Many thanks to Chevy for believing in and supporting such an insane and ambitious project, and to Gretsch for providing the guitars and amps.”
