Wow. OK Go has made quite the impressive video based on the amount of people involved at the end. Since it's OK Go you know they didn't just cheat and substitute CG. I say a drone was involved and filmed the entire thing too, but that's pure speculation on my part. Though I'm pretty sure they filmed in Japan as an excuse to ride those more compact version of the Segway. I know I would! lol

It's been mentioned before on other sites, but the group Perfume makes a cameo as the staff members in the first 15 seconds of the video as well. c:

Pretty impressive video, and I like the song too. Catchy! And I really want one of those things they were riding around on. They look like fun. Razz

And now it's officially gone viral.

Even CNN broadcasted a news story about how they did it:

http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/28/showbiz/music/ok-go-video-i-wont-let-you-down/index.html

http://edition.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/showbiz/2014/10/29/lok-ripley-japan-ok-go-drone-music-video.cnn.html

And yes, they used flying drones. Took a month to rehearse, filming for 4 days at times actually raining, had 44 takes, with 11 times completing the whole continuous run. Out of those 11 completed runs, 3 were satisfactory, and the best of the 3 became the final music video.
