OK Go

OK Go is a rock band from Chicago Illinois, and more than their music what has attracted me to them is their some of their music videos. The first video I saw by them was in 2005 for their third single Here It Goes Again off of their second album Oh No.  The video is done in one continuous shot, which is what impressed me the most.  It feature the members in the group doing a dancing performance on treadmills. The second video I saw was their second single, This Too Shall Pass, off their 2010 album, Of the Blue Colour of the Sky. This video is also done in one continuous shot which uses a giant Rube Goldberg Machine in a factory building. The complexity of the video being done in one shot is what I enjoy in these videos, knowing that they had to try it many times before it came out just like they wanted.
