So OK GO put out a second video for their single “This Too Shall Pass”, this time of a Rube Goldberg machine running for the duration of the song, synced with the music, and filmed in one take:
(I blogged about their first video to the song two weeks ago).
Between this sort of stuff and Mythbusters I keep wishing I’d become an engineer instead of a computer scientist. Not that I’d be good at it, I come from a long line of crap engineers (so a great-uncle once told me).
I like, and agree with one of the comments on this video posted at BoingBoing: “shit like this restores my faith in humanity.”
Thanks Gillian – as I noted in the Facebook update that swipes this video from you, this combines my three favourite things: 1) Self-produced music videos, 2) Rube Goldberg machines, and 3) random destruction.
What about 4) People being sprayed with paint?
I saw this earlier today and just rewatched it. It is teh awesome.
@gill – isn’t that some sort of German fetish?
My God, this one makes it looks like they totally phoned in the treadmill video. Teh awesome, indeed.
