Around the World in OKGO

New music video shot in zero gravity from our very very very very very very very very very old friends OKGO.
I love this so much. People doing fun things that bring joy to other people is the best thing.
But it's "free fall", not "zero gravity" and I am a big giant nerd.

Is there a making-of anywhere? They only have 30 seconds at a time in the parabolic arcs, I think, so the coordination and the editing must have just been crazy.

Jesus lord, in one take?? There must be a lot of tedium involved in something like this, but it looks so worth it.
The effects of zero gravity, and the double gravity you feel just before and after the weightless periods, can make people very nauseated. A lot of our crew got sick; over the 21 flights, there were 58 puke events. Luckily, this was a group of very committed adventurers, so we all soldiered through and eventually got accustomed to the crazy sensations.
Ok, there's the not fun part.

This is incredible. In an interview one time I saw the lead singer of Coheed and Cambria say that all their concept albums would work better as a comic book series, but he was a better musician than comic book artist so he just kept writing songs til they were a big enough deal that he could parlay it into a comic book series. I'm pretty sure the same thing is basically true of OK GO and music videos.

Oh wow, interesting bit from the "Making-Of":
Oh wow, interesting bit from the "Making-Of":
Tatyana Martynova and Anastasia Burdina, our S7 air hostesses, are trained aerialist acrobats. It was quite a challenge to figure out what type of performers would be best to work with in these very unusual circumstances. We considered several types of acrobats, dancers, gymnasts, and swimmers, because each of those fields has some overlap with the set of skills we thought we’d need. In the end, the pair of aerialists we chose were perfect for a few reasons. First, the routines they are trained to do usually involve a lot of very fast spinning in circles, meaning that they’ve developed incredible vestibular systems (the bodily system for balance). [...] Second, they really know how to control their bodies using only their own strength and balance. Gymnasts push off the floor and swimmers push against the water, but aerialists have very little to push off of, so they develop incredible skills just using inertia and balance. Third, Tatyana and Anastasia were already friends and were great at working together and coming up with their own ideas. Since so much of our process is about experimenting with things and stumbling into new ideas along the way, we were excited to find a pair of performers who could jump right in, experiment together,and help us come up with the ideas. The coolest tricks they do are all moves that they came up with themselves, or with the help of our incredible Cosmonaut Trainers.posted by Rock Steady at 8:30 AM on February 11, 2016 [15 favorites]

The trick is the plane has to fly parabolic coursei.e. very steep climbs followed by very steep descents...lather, rinse, repeat. Here is a video of an Airbus A300 performing that kind of flight (sorry the video is in French and the flight starts around the 3 minute mark). S7 Airlines flies mostly A319/A320/A321 which are smaller planes than the A300.
I won't pretend to have comprehensive knowledge of all aircrafts but presumably any plane that can sustain the step climbs and steep descents can give its occupants the sensation of zero-g.

Yeah, it's fun to watch the times where they weren't quite in freefall - the balls all collecting on the floor and to the sides of the plane, for example, while in zero-gravity they would keep noodling around. On the other hand, that was clearly planned so that they could have discrete prop events; they knew exactly when they wanted the balls to stop and the disco part to begin, and then when they wanted THAT to stop and the paint to begin. That's some cool planning and it's invisible unless you look at the previous props hanging out on the floor of the plane.

From the RedBull interview, about planning in time with the weightless parts of the flight:
Kulash: We also came up with a system for doing a single take over eight parabolas. In each flight you have 15 parabolas and in each parabola you have 20 seconds of double gravity, then 50 seconds of weightlessness and few minutes of setting it all up again. So to make it one take, we took eight of these in a row over 40-45 minutes.posted by LobsterMitten at 12:31 PM on February 11, 2016 [1 favorite]
Sie: We also we slowed our playback of the song down a bit (28.5 percent, to be exact) and performed each portion of the dance a little slower. This way, the 21 seconds of song fit neatly into the 27 seconds of weightlessness. [The duration of the parabolas can't be changed.]
Oh, and better more specific on the timing, from their making-of FAQ:
The video is a single take, but there is some time removed to make that possible.posted by LobsterMitten at 12:38 PM on February 11, 2016 [3 favorites]
The longest period of weightlessness that it is possible to achieve in these circumstances is about 27 seconds, and after each period of weightlessness, it takes about five minutes for the plane to recover and prepare for then next round. Because we wanted the video to be a single, uninterrupted routine, we shot continuously over the course of 8 consecutive weightless periods, which took about 45 minutes, total. We paused our actions, and the music, during the non-weightless periods, and then cut out these sections and smoothed over each transition with a morph.
You can spot the moments in the video when we skip ahead in time because they are points when gravity briefly returns. This happens at 0:46, 1:06, 1:27, 1:48, 2:09, 2:30, and 2:50.
You might notice that these moments aren’t 27 seconds apart. That’s because the song moves in musical sections that are a little less than 21 seconds long, and it was important to us that the punctuations of gravity in our routine work musically with the song. To fit the 27-second periods weightlessness into 21-second sections of music, we performed our routine slightly slower than what you see here (the song is normally 92.5 BPM, and we performed it at 72 BPM), and later sped up the footage (28.47%) to bring it back up to normal speed.
Before and after each period of weightlessness, there is a roughly 20-second stretch when it feels like there’s increased gravity. These are most easily understood as the periods when the plane is throwing everyone up out of their seats into weightlessness, and then catching them again when it ends. (For a better explanation of parabolic flight, see the link above) In this video, the first scene, in which we sit waiting and then do the goofy laptop dance, was performed while we were experiencing double gravity, just before the beginning of the first weightless section. The first round of weightlessness hits at about 0:26, and you can see us all lift a little in our chairs when double gravity gives way to zero gravity. You can also see double gravity at the end of the video. When the last weightless period ends, at 3:20, the paint we’ve splattered all over the plane comes raining down with double force as we are all pressed into our seats.
I suffer from sympathetic nausea enough to know when someone's trying to hold it in. They were trying to hold it in, and oh man I am so queasy right now.

Jaw droppingly fun, what a glimpse of space choreography. It's all really cool, but those paint balloon bursts are triumphant.
I'd heard enough about the way these flights work to watch out for them periodically heading for the seats, but it's pretty interesting to go back with the list of time codes and see them scrabbling to land each other. The fact that the women just stand for one of the climbs is nuts.

I wonder how much these insanely expensive concept videos translate into album or download sales? Because the kind of cheery late-90s alt-pop-rock that OKGO do wasn't really a moneyspinner back then, and it sure isn't now. It's like they're a one-hit wonder, except the 'hit' is a kookily elaborate video that they remake every year. The song itself is interchangeable - all you remember is "oh it's those guys with the treadmills/car/colorful bouncy balls/antigravity/sharks with frickin' laser beams."

I understand that taste is relative, but I don't really get why people are generally so negative about OK Go's music. I went to see them play at a small venue in Baltimore last year, not expecting much, and it turned out to be one of the best live shows I've ever attended. The music is catchy, the guys in the band are personable and funny, they're all talented musicians, and they manage to capture a certain amount of the visual gimmickry of the videos in the live show -- lots of confetti, black light effects, scrim, and other fun. We were on the floor, and were the only 30-40-somethings surrounded by a mass of 18-21s, but we still managed to have a super time. I'd see them again in a heartbeat.

WOW! Watching it again and knowing where the cuts (er... morphs) are is totally amazing! If you know when to look, you can totally see where gravity cuts back in, but the transitions are completely seamless. Extra points for the guitarist (the plainly nauseous dude in red) barely getting back to his seat at the end of the video as double gravity kicks in.

What an age, where a band is more famous for their videos than their music.
Eh - Devo did it first.

Not to mention every band during the first, say, five years of MTV.

There's a seven minute long behind-the-scenes of the last day of shooting over here.

That making-of video is so great, especially for the last shot, where one of the band members says something to the effect of, "Who knows what OK GO is going to do over the next ten years," and I'm pretty sure there was a brief flash of terror on his face as he thought about what that might mean.
