They’re back with a shiny new video. The visuals reflect back on a number of their previous videos and maintain the tradition of one-takes. > **[OK Go - Love (Official Video)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gz9BRl7DVSM%2F)** > > Get this song: https://sym.ffm.to/andtheadjacentpossibleAnd all things OK Go: https://linktr.ee/okgomusicIn this mini-documentary by our partners at the Pro... ---

Amazing stuff. It’s incredible all the work they put into these videos. ---

Great! Kaleidescope background through practical effects. Not sure I’ve ever seen that! My favorite parts of the videos are always the quick glances we get of the looks on the guys’ faces when you can tell they are concentrating hard on hitting their marks but have also been told to “look natural.” I can feel their stress and relate! The lead singer and the bald guy seem to be the best at keeping their composure. ---

Behind the scenes video. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/_EKQKF4qPPI/maxresdefault.jpg "PMI Behind the Project: The Making of OK Go’s Love Music Video") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EKQKF4qPPI) They say something about this being the most complex video they’ve ever done. I think they have short memories. 🙂 ---

I seem to be one of today’s 10,000. And have just spent rather too much of the day watching OkGo videos. ---

I don’t recall seeing the drummer in this one. That was impressive. But, for me, nothing they do will ever top [“Needing/Getting”](https://youtu.be/MejbOFk7H6c?si=4VYbEJEluZjrH2cs) in terms of precision and behind the scenes work. And it’s a better song, too. ---

That is a pretty amazing video, but in my book the absolute zenith (heh, pun intended) of their video-making career is [Upside Down & Inside Out](https://youtu.be/LWGJA9i18Co). Choreographing those scenes around parabolic arcs on the vomit comet had to be astoundingly difficult to manage, and I imagine they only got so many rehearsal attempts before the plane rental budget ran out. In any case, they’ve certainly come far since the treadmill video… [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/dTAAsCNK7RA/maxresdefault.jpg "OK Go - Here It Goes Again (Official Music Video)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTAAsCNK7RA) ---

> [@solost](#): > > In any case, they’ve certainly come far since the treadmill video… - They had an idea and they ran with it. “Inside Out and Upside Down” is my favorite by a small margin as each video is so unique. I think what’s even more remarkable is how much corporate sponsorship they had yet they retained total creative control and the sponsor had very minimal exposure overall. ---

Nitpick: it’s “Upside Down and Inside out”. That’s a good one. It’s probably my second favorite OkGo video. I have to give first place to The One Moment. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/0BTnGgzO-tU/maxresdefault.jpg "OK Go - The One Moment") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BTnGgzO-tU) ---

I’ve long had the sense that these guys were the sorts who, as children, played a lot of games like Mousetrap and set up intricate rows of dominoes. ---
