What you DIDN'T know about the Upside Down & Inside Out music video

[@JeniJustJeni]

I am LOVING these behind the scenes videos.

[@mjelves]

except this wasn't...

[@brockmckelvey7327]

Thank you to Andy for being willing to go in the plane one more time (I remember that being something mentioned when you guys showed some behind-the-scenes when this first came out)

[@mikeybhoutex]

Yep, he was really not feeling good after 20 of those. What a trooper. Show must go on!

[@diegokanocanizares3952]

I remember it too, because the almost perfect shot was ruined by a stain of paint in the camera!!! Thanks Andy

[@poeterritory]

That last moment of Andy is what I remember most about this video lol. Good on him for going again.

[@somedudeumayknow]

I did notice Tim's beard magazine the first time around, yeah. Found it quite amusing. However, over all the times I've rewatched this video over the years (gotta be dozens and dozens) I'd never noticed the "flight attendant" acrobats were sitting on magazines, that's a fun detail. Also, I would like to formally compliment Andy on his A++ tablet tosses.

[@marybaker8061]

❤❤

[@Briana-xr1ly]

I watched this music video so many years ago and I still remember it from time to time because of much creativity it had that I didn’t know was possible. You guys did amazing!!!❤️

[@Exofficina]

Some of the most genius music videos to have ever been created belong to OK GO. This one is one of my all time favourites. What a great insight to the video making process. Masters of art

[@denishavail1773]

Right? I found out that the treadmill video was taken in one take I was like what!

[@ardendolas]

All of your videos have always been incredibly creative, mind blowing, visually interesting, but Upside Down is straight up legendary. My favourite moment is the "it's like a freight train" line, when Damian LAUNCHES himself backwards! It's so visceral and powerful! Thanks for these spiritual successors to Pop-Up Video, they're super interesting! I can't wait to see what you guys have got brewing for the new album. Love from Canada!

[@KelvinDueck]

High school physics teacher here. My high school physics class watches this video every year. I use it to explain why the astronauts on the International Space Station are floating, even though the gravitational field on the ISS is nearly the same as on earth. Seeing the light go on in their eyes when they realize that orbiting astronauts are weightless (and feel no normal force) because they are in freefall (just like OK Go) is priceless!

[@romywhite290]

If they are in freefall, why is it so different from skydiving? The distance to the ground, and therefore the pull is different?

[@XStickman]

I've always been a big fan of Andy yeeting the absolute hell out of that suitcase that landed on his chair right at the end, in desperation to save the take.

[@mikeybhoutex]

The thing I like, besides *THE ENTIRE THING* about this video (the behind the scenes videos are awesome as well) is the fact that Damian goes "WOO!" as the song ends. You just don't hear it. I really want to hear it at the end every time I watch this video. :)

[@sml606]

It’s impressive how seamless the cuts between the periods of weightlessness are

[@JustACuteFox]

Where are they?

[@HalfAnimation]

@@JustACuteFoxbetween the times where everything comes to the ground and then comes up again

[@ariaflame-au]

@@HalfAnimation I think it's less cuts and more 'this section got sped up'.

[@HalfAnimation]

@ oh yeah i think you're right

[@trntom]

@@ariaflame-au though at 1:49 there's a cut when the suitcase flies across the screen

[@spustatu]

Two things: this has to be the most badass music video shoot of all time, and this series of shorts giving all kinds of info on the shooting of your videos is so cool.

[@twmacnutt]

"Damian has a needle taped to his finger to pop the balloons" is someone the most terrifying part of all of this

[@bruceaitken1918]

This is the most deliriously joyful video ever. I've watched it dozens of times and it never fails to bring a lump to my throat - sheer, pointless silliness to the point of transcendent beauty. Tim flies up to reveal that the flight attendants have become ... a galaxy. Then it all fills with stars, which go supernova. And then everyone sits down, it rains and it is clearly time for tea.

[@metropolis10]

Thank you Andy. One of my favourite videos of all time.

[@Tophattio]

I love the way you guys write the captions on these hahaha

[@ZombieKitteh]

I'm sure that even though everyone was scared shitless while making this music video, it probably also felt really good once they had a successful take. They did something no one else had really done.

[@pigpie03]

i could watch this BTS and making of videos forever. love getting the insight into the crazy wonders yall make!

[@cloudglider]

I thought this would recycle things from the documentary but I'm pleasantly surprised

[@NexxuSix]

I’ve watched the behind the scenes video series of how this video was made. It is absolutely pure genius! Thank you OK GO for doing what you do!

[@Allie-w1l]

I'm always skeptical, thinking I know all about the behind-the-scenes, from watching their BTS videos, but then I'm surprised. Great work, guys! Looking forward to the new music (and videos?) 😀

[@james.telfer]

It's STILL my favourite music video of all time. Absolutely AWESOME 🤩

[@jsc9000]

This video sent me down a 24hr rabbit hole when I first saw it a few years ago. I had never heard of OK Go I then was so frustrated that I hadn’t heard of them & missed so many opportunities to see them live.

[@blitzwinger999wright6]

One of my favorite things is at the end of the video one of the suitcases that held the balls landed in Dan’s seat so he had to fully throw it out of the way to get back to his seat on queue.

[@diegokanocanizares3952]

This video is so amazing!!! This was the top most incredible video you had made. After this you have to do it on space and after that on Mars!!!

[@denishavail1773]

I remember the first day of this video came out and I had just discovered ok Go because of my friends in Oregon, I was so amazed at their just raw talent, and their videos were just so well done it was an era I'll never forget.

[@mrtnsnp]

Once did a zero-g flight for research. Very glad there were more on the team, I didn’t know you can get a fever from motion sickness.

[@bluesummer1365]

This is really extraordinary ! I knew it must have been hard to shoot, but wow ! there was so much more I didn't know... Thank you for the commitment !

[@SpineShank7]

I still come back to this music video regularly. Best one ever made.

[@dannyb1979]

THE best music video ever made... Superb 👌🏼

[@FilmWryter-321]

My favorite music video of all time -- still to this day. And probably will remain so.

[@Geeksmithing]

My favorite detail is just how ungraceful the second graceful woman is and getting behind the curtain in the back! @2:29

[@dianacourt377]

This is one of my favourites. When music videos were fun to watch

[@jedfromyourlocallibrary]

Always incredible and never perfect! Love these songs, videos and now the BTS!

[@Scp716creativecommons]

Loving these silent nods to pop up videos

[@RobertStoll]

This was honestly always one of your best videos if you ask me.

[@pizzyp]

Brings back memories of VH1's pop up video 👍✌️

[@davegreenlaw5654]

I would LOVE if I could find any of them here on KZbin.

[@pizzyp]

@@davegreenlaw5654 it's on KZbin just put it in the 🔍search there's some classic 90s playlists 😎👍✌️

[@hazbo0103w]

Another funny thing is at around 1:14 after Damian jumps and flips you can see his legs do a little panic I don't know why I find it funny but its a cool detail

[@VampFaye]

I believe that the creativity of this band has no boundaries. Not only is the music great, so are the visuals! ❤❤❤

[@alcyonae]

My favorite! This song tugs at my soul

[@rabbitez]

"nastya and tanya sit on magazines to stay dry" that had me thinking for a sec...

[@KiddsockTV]

it was just incredibile. so much work.

[@taukid421]

Please make a widescreen version of this!

[@TarzansMom]

Yes, their videos are amazing, but they would be pointless if the music wasn’t, too. ❤ OK Go.

[@Xeirus911]

Does anyone know their song that says something like "I could go on for days.... and I'm just an animal?"

[@MichaelGreen831]

I saw a BTS on this before. Was it Tim that was the real trouper when he went on flight 21 even though he REALY REALY REALY didn’t want to?

[@LordDragox412]

Description says "Damian passed out, Andy had a panic attack, and it would take the fingers and toes of 3 of the 4 band members to count how many instances of vomit occurred" so my guess would be Andy or Damian instead of Tim.

[@Allie-w1l]

@@LordDragox412 Mostly the crew puked because the band were on heavy duty anti-nausea meds. In BTS videos they stated that none of the band threw up, but they did feel crappy at times.

[@ardendolas]

Yeah I think you're thinking about this documentary, the "Last Day" chapter, when they see that the "Thunderdome" shot got obscured by paint. (kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaTCmmWhrNdpeacsi=26CUp8sYwzzAERw0&t=318). If you stare at Andy, you can see his soul just leave his body as he comes to the realization that they might just have to go up again. I think Tim and Damian were definitely game for one last one, and the holdouts were Dan and Andy. Props to Dan for speaking first, even after Trish gave them an out

[@JoshuaTootell]

Back in my sailor days I found the motion sickness meds were worse than just being sea sick.

[@wyattstevens8574]

​@@LordDragox412It said that happened 58 times across the 30+-member crew and all 21 flights. And (in one take where Damian ended up by the cockpit) that's when he passed out!

[@virtulis]

Did you actually keep track of how many times everyone puked, or is that approximate? (:

[@KasaiRayquaza]

The description says that it took 3 fingers and toes from the 4 band members. ...What?! Well thank you for y'all's sacrifice, I guess.

[@dylooooooooooooooooooooooooooo]

1.1k dislikes? why...

[@KevinBrooks_c]

Same thought...

[@johnabbottphotography]

Apparently, there are 1,100 really disappointing folks out there.

[@WWu2]

Because it was filmed in Russian army's plane so I think it's Ukrainians hating at all that has some glimpse of Russia 😂

[@marysevier]

Real question here! What paint is used for things like this?

[@BandPotato]

I keep thinking with each video how the heck did they line up the visuals with the vocals.

[@Hernandesvc]

Absolutamente perfeito 🤩

[@TomatoPie-fp7sw]

Each every "OK Go" videos keep Suprise and Amaze us .

[@ИгорьМухортов-с8н]

S7 Airlines

[@Xenkatze]

Love a bouncy drummer lol

[@bagusasik]

wow!!!

[@ChrisBigBad]

is there a 3D version of this? that would be amazing! all the things in my face :D

[@michaelaj6819]

Ok, love the puke facts, but what I really want to know is how many bruises y'all ended up with!! Some of that stuff looked like it HURT 😳 But thank you for all the creativity and dedication! This video (and your music) is truly one of my favorite things ever 💜

[@jonathanmuniz4903]

I would love to see the raw footage of take 21

[@Allie-w1l]

That was it, except for the parts where they had to hold their position for four or five minutes between weightless scenes.

[@jonathanmuniz4903]

@ i know, but since would love to see it including the change in speed of the song

[@shanefiddle]

Omg 21 TAKES! Poor Tim...😢 😅

[@piggytoonvr]

they thought the feature released so they made a new full video guys!!!

[@MudSluggerBP]

Any excuse to listen to this banger of a track 🤟🏻

[@lenskihe]

Most of these things, I actually did already know 😅 Apparently, I'm a fan

[@HawksDiesel]

so a lot of fuel was spent on a video. got it.

[@rustycherkas8229]

Ask yourself how much fuel was burnt so Trump (and his entourage) could attend a photo-op at Notre Dame. Trump has zero connection to the catholic church (except that both he and the church don't mind looking after the wealthy while the poor can fend for themselves.) Note: "a photo opportunity" that no-one remembers 5 seconds after they've seen the news... No one but those of us who puke whenever we see Trump...

[@EpicMuttonChops]

WHY IS IT VERTICAL

[@julikaiba]

wheres all the dislikes coming from?
