3:18 how ironic that a video featuring hundreds of umbrellas was delayed by rain lol

[YoYoBobbyJoe]

The reveal that the 1000+ dancers at the end was COMPLETELY REAL blew my mind! I always figured that specifically was CGI.

[Jimboh]

If only they had some umbrellas when it rained.

[Billchu]

OK GO makes the best music videos. You guys are in a league of your own.

[danniboi]

I think you guys have revived what music videos were all about.  The level of creativity and technical elegance is just wonderful.  You got me to want to watch music videos again.

[makatron]

Just stunning how everything is just one take! 

[CaptainMug]

I was always amazed at those crowds in sport stadiums that hold up signs to spell or to visualize things, when I saw the video I knew that had to be an inspiration. Very smart to play it at half-speed, I kinda noticed it when watching the video since it was kinda... it stuttered a little, but at the big scenes you couldn't tell a thing. Amazing! 

[milesboop]

-Hey, Tim
-Yeah, Damian?
-I could use an umbrella.
-Let me get you one **nyooom**
-Ta-da

[TheDragonflyzero]

the rain was probably a blessing in disguise, post rain sky is absolutely beautiful

[aznpandax]

This was the best music video i seen for a long time.

[Aaron-P]

There are more "Behind the Scenes" coming for this one, right? Gimmee MOAR!!!

[nathanieljonathan]

[Sydney-dnpi]

"Our videos usually start from pretty simple ideas" Show me one effing video of OKGO that is simple

[labukas]

I love that they always put so much work into their videos

[jancooneyjames]

Thanks for the behind the scenes vid.  It was great seeing this in actual time in some scenes.  I am fascinated by the amount of time you guys take to create one piece of art. 

[HeapsGoodProductions]

It wasn't CGI! I'm so happy :') You guys are such a huge inspiration, love your work!

[aracelig.]

4 questions.
1) How the FREAK did they do that cool thing at the end when they made the images with the umbrellas?
2)Who else has a HUMONGOUS crush on Damian?
3)Where did they even get that many "Future Chairs" from? Was this a sponsored video or what?
4)Where the HELL did they get that much space to make those really big images at the end with the army of girls with different colored umbrellas and they made the title and stuff like that out of umbrellas?

[Freakcent]

Guys, I really love all your videos! They're all pieces of art.
And it's so to see all the 'behind the scenes' stuff. 

[Pokepasa]

Really beautiful and complex composition. Amazing work, guys.

03:49 - seems Nocchi really had to write on that clapperboard each take. I don't know why that amuses me so much. It's such an unceremonious cameo, imagine how much time they must've spent just sitting around, haha.
