      Ok, the making of video are not "one shoot", but the compilation of the attemps. If you check as you says when he has the bue dots, he dosen´t use gloves, but when he has the orange dots, he has yellow gloves. The video of the making of has parts from the various attemps they have done. But this don´t mean that the final version was not in one shoot or remove any genius from the video. Great video.

  • @blockmaniac4898
    @blockmaniac4898 2 роки тому +2

    This video is absolutely incredible. Here are some things I noticed:
    1. At 0:23 Dan has orange dots on his suit instead of blue. This could have possibly been the case so he would match the color of the basketballs, as we can see that the dots (on the wall) are still blue in the same shot.
    2. At 2:17 the camera rotation-device appears to jam, and you can see them struggling to make it turn.
    3. From 3:05 to 3:26, Dan is wearing a yellow outfit. This is because he and Andy had swapped roles - At 3:07 Andy is sitting atop the fake-hole, and at 3:22 Dan climbs up the yellow-staircase (hence his yellow clothes).
    4. At 3:12 Tim walks out from behind the mirror too late :(
    5. At 3:32 Tim is wearing a different outfit while he walks across the green and white checkerboard room.

      That's because they shoted various attempts after they reached the final goal. This "making of" has scenes of some "failed attempts", that's why the clothes are different. But the final videoclip was actually recorded in one shot.

  • @PCLanimator
    @PCLanimator 10 років тому

    Haha, future1997 is right! At 3:30 to 3:37 the clothes are different than in the 'final' video. The 'one shot' effect is just an illusion, like in many others OK GO videos. There are many cuts hidden, both in the final video-clip and in the making of (well, there are many obvious cuts in the making off...). Great video anyway, a lot of talent involved, and even more to fool the viewer to think everything was made in one shot...they succeded pretty well...

    I am sorry, but I don't like it. I was seriously hoping for more wide angle shots to actually have the entire scenery in perspective for once, because what made the original video so compelling was the lack of perspective of your audience, and the behind the scenes, in my humble opinion, should have made clear where everybody was within this building. But now I am just as confused as before... -.-
