ABOUT THE NEW VIDEO/SONG:
The guys at OK Go are back in action with their first official video in two years – “The Writing’s On The Wall.”

This eye-bending video reels off stunt after visual stunt in a way that makes you want to rewind and watch how they pulled off each trompe l’oeil. Indeed, the choreography required putting the 28 illusions together in one single shot, which was “intense,” as Damian Kulash, OK Go’s singer and co-director of the video, said in an interview with NPR.

It took 50 people three weeks to build the set inside of a giant Brooklyn warehouse. The video itself involved nine costume changes – all while the camera was rolling. And, yes, OK Go’s bassist, Tim Nordwind, really did shave off half of his beard for the shoot. For those who are familiar with OK Go, this is just the latest in a series of epic music videos that began in 2006 with their first hit, “Here It Goes Again.”

We know you’re going to want to watch OK Go’s amazing video a few times to get the song down, so here you go:
