[@dncviorel]

Yeah, they're creative alright. So many other bands and artists use the term "creativity" trying to look interesting and hip. This guys are the real deal, this is how you create stuff, by being the first to do something cool, never done before. You're not creative if you sing a song, play an instrument or draw a painting or whatever other artistic thing. You need to actually come with GOOD ideas never done before. That's creativity.

[@beedlethebard3189]

also, there are parts where the papers will print the wrong color, but it's only when damien is saying obsession. it seems to be an artistic touch? and i love it.

[@paulmarko]

Just to be clear. Those printers aren't printing everything in real time. They've been loaded with the Pre-printed paper and they're just feeding it out when directed to by the special effects operator. Still amazing, but they don't have to deal with changing ink cartridges or setting up a bazillion print jobs.

[@m00str]

So they are printing out "empty" documents at the right time to eject the pre-printed papers? That explains the speed, and is a great idea. Nonetheless the synchronizing was an awesome job

[@ampz1466]

That's so smart! I was just wondering how they'd deal with it if they ran out of ink halfway through on a few of the printers.

[@ZenMuff1n]

@@ampz1466 Oh, I bet, there was a noticeable dip in ink quantity around town :D

As a graphic design college student who has to fight for a printer that are connected to a computer or has ink in my labs this video is making me extremely jealous with these printers working seamlessly

[@naturesrevenge8758]

They're likely not printing the papers on set. They're pre-printed and they put the papers in order for the printer to merely push it out.

[@zachslaughter8754]

Yes but they can fix the printers in post...

[@Kloolass_Larspawn]

... for the shot they used in this video!

[@macaoron]

I was thinking the same thing, but I agree with the pre-printed theory, especially since the prints were borderless, something you’ll never achieve by just printing

[@tookitogo]

Maxwell Fong Almost all inkjet printers made in the last 15 years or so are capable of borderless printing. That said, desktop inkjets couldn’t print fast enough for this, so I’m sure they were just ejecting preprinted sheets. (Using custom software I’m sure, since that’d be needed to hold the sheets in place instead of them just falling to the floor immediately.)

Every time I watch this video I can't help but think about the music video for Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer. Not just the fact that it's "stop-motion" but the feel of it, the vibes and the energy behind it. The song also sounds like something Peter Gabriel would make. That's seriously awesome because he's a great singer. Good job to everyone involved.

I don't know how you guys keep outdoing yourselves, but I'm so glad you exist.

[@RobertGreenwald]

In an era when MTV no longer stands for Music Television, OK Go keeps the spirit of the music video art form alive and consistently innovated. Your videos remind me of old Peter Gabriel videos like "Sledge Hammer" and "Steam" when he was constantly raising the bar.

That may have taken a few minutes, at least, for each pile -- but yes, it would have been cool to see the printed versions of themselves being replaced from printer to printer - moving like paper animations.

[@alejandrolino8758]

We can honestly call this Art.

[@patrickstar561]

_Wait, did i just watch a 3 minute long ad for paper?_

[@rmtrainer7]

They tricked ya!

[@fatemeestedlal8936]

didn't it worth it?

[@DrButthugger]

Does paper need an ad?

[@kendalllou4274]

Emmett Rasmussen no. You watched a music video.

[@jiongdotws]

Emmett Rasmussen yeah

[@wizardflaps]

It's hard enough getting one printer to fucking work...

[@konrad7572]

haha

As an illusionist myself, I always love the ones where you know exactly how it's done and the trick still works. Long live OKG.

my old 5th and 6th grade science teacher showed these videos in class, he showed us the one where they are in an air plane and the one moment a few years ago, its bc of him that i still watch these videos because this channel is one giant masterpiece

[@unknown.player1530]

Basically the same experience here, except my 7th and 8th grade science teacher showed the class the rube Goldberg one

[@JRWooten]

How did they coordinate that? Wow. That's amazing.

[@EGRJ]

I suspect they had to create software or something just for the images.

[@gustaflindberg8899]

Same way as they do all their stuff, black magic and witchcraft.

You never thought about it, *no one* ever thought about it, but somehow OK Go got an idea to do something like this.

[@samurai2871]

So how many colored tv panels do you need? Ok go: oh none, we decided to use printers instead.

[@OneMouseGaming]

once you can hack the printers to be assignable, and control their single page feed command, this becomes possible. Once you realize that the printers only job is to produce pages on demand and not create the art, the possibilities become huge. This one made my geek heart tingle.

[@FargonNemeloc]

You guys are making some next level art. You create such an interesting combination of audio/video art that I have trouble calling it a song instead of a performance or an experience, or something like that. This one was a treat as always, thank you friends.

[@silence439]

Plus the 567 printers

[@NexxuSix]

One would think that after Upside Down & Inside Out, these guys wouldn’t want anything more to do with flying of any kind. Awesome video! OK Go never ceases to amaze me with their talent. Kudos to the brains behind the scenes as well =)

[@Trip_Toon]

I like how it gradually gets more complex as the video goes on, good pace.

[@billybllionz]

Every year their videos get more and more creative. This is mind blowing. Been a fan since I was 13 now I'm 21 and still enjoying your music and your videos.

[@FangsFirst]

I remember when they were a tiny band with no deal opening for They Might be Giants (and, in 2001, failing to do so because the venue's sound was broken at the show I was at). Their merch guy pushed their first EP on me at the time, and I listened to it quite a bit after that. I caught them opening--this time for real!--in early 2002 and they *still* didn't have a record, nor any music videos 'tall...but I got their second EP! (their first album came out later that year) Though advanced maths, I am able to calculate that this means you were five at the time I was first exposed to their music. I've also used those skills and numbers to calculate that I feel rather old now.

[@bigaleinstein4639]

doggo also been a fan since i was 13, but i am not 17

[@bigaleinstein4639]

Now 17

[@billybllionz]

That's cool, my sister introduced me to them back in 2009 I wish to see them live, they've never been in my country :/

[@leichi8420]

Can I just say that for this song, I REALLY love the drums used, and the little guitar hook that comes in around 1:06 !!!

[@augustwigsmoen7275]

Music was awesome

[@flatasacueball6326]

If these guys had hit the scene 35 years ago, these songs would be 80s classics.

[@phantomkitten73]

Buster Keaton & Charlie Chaplin: "I did jaw dropping stunts in just one attempt." Jackie Chan: "I may have done around 3,000 takes for a single scene." Tom Cruise: "I learned how to play pool/snooker with my non-dominant hand, had a knife that was held by a single wire a few micrometers away from my eye, and hung from a fucking cargo plane that was taking off." OK Go: "We exist."

[@TJForceIX]

Is there a different Tom Cruise pool movie I'm not thinking of 'cause I'm pretty sure he shoots pool with his left hand in The Color of Money. He does often wield a gun and other impressive things with his non-dominant hand in other movies though.

[@mistamemewide]

OK Go: “We make awesome music videos”

[@washmonument]

[@Italiaiskawaii]

You guys always have the coolest vids (:

[@morganelliott6165]

That has to be witchcraft to get that many printers to cooperate

[@cayv7694]

they are just connected to one computer and the computer do all the work. Only need like one guy to program it. You should see those that requires hundreds of humans to synchronized & cooperate like their video "i wont let you down"

[@nsjs17]

Cay V I think he's more impressed they weren't jamming. ;)

[@dlwatib]

I agree. My printer seems to be psychic. It seems to know when I have to print something quickly and it chooses then to run out of ink or jam or something would go wrong in the software. Actually, the Canon I use now is much more cooperative than the HP printer that it replaced.

[@AragornCrozier]

Yeah, no kidding, I can barely get one to cooperate with itself

[@Hannahbelleectere]

agreed. my printer at work has to be rebooted at least 5 times a day because of a jam or internal error.

[@WobblesandBean]

It was genius to make the paper printing and falling the actual beat to the song. Just, muah, chef's kisses
