OK Go Release New Video 2010-06-16 by Masochist | 12 Replies | 1259 Views
Dance-pop group OK Go have released the music video for their new single, "End Love." The video can be streamed on YouTube, and is also available for download on OK Go's official website, www.okgo.net.
The song is probably their worst single ever, but the video is typical OK Go awesomeness (though my favorite video of theirs is still probably the Rune Goldberg machine for "This Too Shall Pass").
I had to go back to my review to remember which song this was. I think it was the only one I didn't mention at all... Which probably says it all. 'White Knuckles' should have been the 3rd single.
"In the music video for "End Love" the video footage was sped up and slowed down to produce impressive looking effects:
The fastest we go is 172,800x, compressing 24 hours of real time into a blazing 1/2 second. The slowest is 1/32x speed, stretching a mere 1/2 second of real time into a whopping 16 seconds. This gives us a fastest to slowest ratio of 5.5 million. If you like averages, the average speed up factor of the band dancing is 270x. In total we shot 18 hours of the band dancing and 192 hours of LA skyline timelapse – over a million frames of video – and compressed it all down to 4 minutes and 30 seconds! Oh and don't forget, it's one continuous camera shot."
