OK Go videos

Created by Baruš Jeřábková

I want to use the videos for something to work with the secondary school kids. So I need to study them and hopefully I'll fugure something out.

ART TOGETHER NOW

"maybe this is not the safest thing but I'll let it go because there were many people thinking about it and testing it"

That's where the wow comes from

THE ONE MOMENT

Q&A

We're inspecting the world we're unfimiliar with

Because we can't normally see this, we don't live at that time scale

How they did it

ALL IS NOT LOST

LAST LEAF

ASUS ZenFone 5 Commercial

Ok Go - Needing/Getting (This American Life - The Invisible Made Visible)

They had to build a special machine and code for it

The One Math

Counting frames

You have to take your song, figure out where your beats are your measures and you figure out the time for that then you have to work backwards with the math based upon your frame rate of shooting and how many frames take place

"the only way I can talk to those events is through math"

Working on spreadsheet for over a month 8-10h/day

Message

The song is about being in the moment and being present. Grasping the moment that you're in. Those few moments in life that really really change your life. There's a spirit or a heart to that song and we wanted to capture that visually.

The song is about those incredible moments where you feel the most alive.

One take, one shot, one moment - sort of metaphore.

Morton's message is about people who are using their chance to do good things in the world so it all kind of like wrapped up in this one ball

how people got inspired

What you can feel watching the video

intimacy to this and beauty

You really want this thing to be personal like the song itself. I hope that when people see it they really feel it.

They were searching for things that are beautiful in slow-mo

"we didn't know what to expect until we were actually shooting"

paint hitting the lens

"flinching is real"

they spent about a month going everyday to the effects shop

there were holes in the roof so the water was dripping on their lunch

89 mechanisms on the machine

70 people's belief made something happen

BTS - the preview

BTS - ask the film makers

6 months

85 takes!!!

there was a lot cooks in the kitchen and I can't take too much credit

Trash for teachers

It's the group that repurpose old trash as teaching equipment. They have big warehouse and take all stuff that would otherwise be in landfills and they make it into science experiments and they offer the stuff to schools
