Andy is true professional. Hated the experience, still did the work needed to get it done. Bravo.

[@robsim37]

Yes, as a baseline, performing at a professional level night after night, show after show can be taxing and exhausting. I'm just saying that Andy signed up to be in a band, not an astronaut (the closest equivalent experience). He obviously hated the plane rides and was very happy it was "over" only to find out they had to go again. That would be terribly frustrating. But, for the good of the video and his band mates, he sucked it up and pushed on. That's going above and beyond the call of Rock 'n Roll. :)

[@softlystarbird]

Props to Andy cause I can totally imagine getting hella sick of that. Going once would be like "wow!" but after weeks of doing it and thinking it's over... then having to do one more? Just dang. Seriously. Good work was awesome.

[@cetaka]

lmao he just looks so pissed after they get the take they used

[@stefaniekroll9049]

true true

[@kaylons]

@@cetaka 5 years later... Wouldn't you be?

[@NAHDFOX]

You can see Andy's heart just *_dying_* at 13:31 when he sees the paint get on the camera. And Dan's trying to be optimistic but Andy's just "There's nothing we can do about that at the end, is there." I don't know what to say...Andy deserves some true respect right there for going through for the last flight.

[@tobiaswichert4843]

Yeah, Andy is the real hero there.

[@tummywubs5071]

Andy looks like he hates everyone and everything when he realises he has to go up again. Its understandable but funny as hell.

[@webhoch3]

He is the real hero.

[@kodyjones7983]

I'm Andy in this situation.

[@ShayBowskill]

Oh man I feel for Andy. That shit would've broken me. Took a lot of strength to make that decision.

[@cleverkimscurios3783]

Thanks Andy for going along for that last one! And thanks all of you for this awesome video

[@beadyslay]

No wonder Andy looked so pissed off when he threw that luggage out of his seat at the end of the music video.

[@S71597]

Button Nose I've been wondering why he looked SO fucking pissed since the video came out. I can't believe he was actually that pissed and that it wasn't me imagining it!!!!

[@maisiesummers42]

@@S71597 I think the other part is that the luggage was in the way and he wasn't going to make his seat before the right beat, and before the parabola ended. He was thinking he'd ruin it and they'd have to go again. You can see eight after he sits down he breaths a huge sigh.

[@peachykeenen]

@@maisiesummers42 unny enough it was his fault the luggage landed in his seat in the first place. watch him closely the last 5 seconds before he makes it in the seat, he throws the luggage while in the left rows of seats before moving to his seat in the front right. Im sure he was frantic at that point ha poor fella

[@metadina]

There is no a single moment in the whole documentary where Andy smiles

[@iteration2]

@@metadina That's not true. He seems pretty delighted with the shoe-bagger machine when they first arrive. But otherwise, yeah, it's all downhill from there.

[@whenelmoattacks]

Andy's a fucking trooper. I don't know if I could get back into that plane after that much sickness and vomiting. Hopefully he thought it was worth it after the fact!

[@NneonNTJ]

what vomiting?

[@Allie-w1l]

No one in the band vomited - they were on heavy duty anti-nausea meds. But those meds can leave you feeling like crap in other ways, like a general thick-headed blah feeling, for example.

[@securi-t]

Andy has my immense respect for doing that final flight. He agreed because he knew it needed to be done to make the rest of it completely worth it. That was an amazing video, so well done!

[@danegonzales5651]

When I first watched the music video, I noticed at the end that Andy didn't smile AT ALL. He looked so frustrated and tired and he threw the baggage out of the way. Now I realized that he really didn't want to do it any more but he had no choice. It was all worth it tho! BREATHTAKING VIDEO!

[@LayneBenofsky]

Yeah, it was also a rush to get it out of the wait to hit that final mark-- but yea -- So much respect for him willing to go up again. :)

[@connor48880]

I think what it is is he’s the lightest member of the band, so the zero gravity affected him more than the others

[@Allie-w1l]

@@connor48880 I am not sure I agree with that, because Andy works out. He has said so, and his physique makes it clear that he does strength training (eg. in the white polo shirt in the White Knuckles video) so he would have more weight from muscle. Damian may have been the lightest. Anyway, Andy's reaction to gravity or the anti-nausea meds was probably more physiologically specific.

[@alexgrant948]

Loved this, trying to explain to my kids about how the cosmonaut training plane works, the low gravity and parabolas etc, and this made it so easy. If anyone involved reads this, thank you so much for showing how exciting physics and art, and working towards a difficult goal can be. My kids have really loved it and hopefully learned a bit about science, art and hard work too.

[@zackcohn]

:)

[@emtyler2677]

What a great video - Poor Andy, must be hard to be enthusiastic when you feel like throwing up all the time, and trying not to for the entire take.

[@RGcrasyRG]

From dancing on a treadmills to breaking the habit. Awesome work, guys.

[@Oremoose]

way to go andy for being a champ and doing something he didn't for the rest of the team. That truly shows his professionalism and is an inspiration to the dynamics of team work

[@CaptNaptastic]

This is why Andy is my favorite in the band. If you watch, he's usually the one that almost messes it up but he's a beast for going back up when he doesn't want to for the sake of the band.

[@AbundantlyThinking]

My dad refuses to believe the video was done in no gravity and now I can show him this video! Thanks for the incredible dedication to making art

[@andTutin]

your dad is right. gravity did not go anywhere

[@dielaughing73]

​@@andTutin yeah everyone keeps saying "zero-gravity" but it's not. Gravity is present just like on land but the plane accelerates into FREEFALL. It's like being in zero gravity but you're actually falling at full gravitational acceleration.

[@Allie-w1l]

Show him the behind the scenes video that is the same length as the music video (3 minutes 26 seconds). It shows them shooting the video, seen from every other angle except the main camera, and it makes it impossible to refute that they are in weightless environment.

[@CheapFlashyLoris]

​@@dielaughing73 It's the same anywhere you are in the universe; There is never no gravity, but you can "float" if your environment moves as you do (which requires cancelling the aerodynamic drag or working in vacuum where there isn't any)

[@Behamotezz]

​@@dielaughing73 Even the astronauts in orbit just experience one prolonged freefall

[@ellerose7854]

17:44 It is both heartening and devastating that the vast majority of people in different countries truly just want to connect with each other on a human level, and it's mostly just a handful of power-hungry politicians sowing hatred and distrust. You can sense the love and respect and joy amongst everyone on the team, despite the language barriers and cultural differences. Truly a beautiful project

[@DanielA-zc8fd]

100% agree. I was just tearing up thinking about this and looked for a comment on this sentiment. I am passionate in my support for Ukraine, but I truly hope from the deepest of my heart that the people here are okay and they havent lost any close ones in the war. War Is Hell.

[@MegCazalet]

Now I know why Andy looked so pissed the whole time. Poor Andy.

So many warm fuzzy feelings in this video. I am just very happy to be a part of this, even as just a single fan..

[@ManubibiWalsh]

I know this music video came out a while ago but I’m seriously obsessed with it now. It’s been the first time I was able to express this kind of process and how it was physically possible back to my mother (after showing the video to her) without getting my brain turned inside out (heee heeee) in the attempt. I realize why teachers are using your videos in physics class. They make it look genuinely interesting and amazing and also really simple and touchable. I’m really amazed by every project you’ve been making real since Here It Goes Again, and since I’m against a creative roadblock, your videos are healing. Thank you.

[@halo6842]

Love you guys! Not only is the music great, but the videos are classic art! I was in the Air Force and did what we call the Vomit Comet maneuvers like you did in zero G. It was awesome and some of the best times I remember, except for the sudden G rush at the bottom of the parabola. Sometimes two or three G onsets. I give the Russian pilots credit for what appeared to be a smooth maneuver set. If you have a chance to do this, take it. It is a once in a life time opportunity! PS...even during the cold war, I thought the Russian people to be awesome and still do. I hope to visit there some day.

Wish the politicians could understand that.

[@TSKseattle]

There is no significant stress on the plane. All jet aircraft are designed within a boundary of expected loads, and these parabolic curves are well within them. The plane is not fighting forces, it's flying with them.

[@Canleaf08]

A plane is designed to withstand something like this. Recently the Airbus A300 Zero G was retired and is now preserved as Cologne Bonn Airport. At it's place is now an A310.

Thank you so much for this video. The original music video is just so amazing, but all through it I couldn't help wondering how it was done, knowing you only get about 20 seconds of zero gravity time per dive. I'm still amazed that they executed that many parabolas one after the other. It must have been really expensive and very nauseating. But now I know how it's done, I can go back and watch the video again and enjoy the sheer spectacle.
