OK Go in Zero Gravity in “Upside Down & Inside Out”

OK Go Upside Down
The Chicago-formed Los Angeles band OK Go is well-known for making some of the most creative videos around, using things like optical illusions, umbrellas with odd motorized scooters, a Rube Goldberg machine, and, of course, treadmills. Well, now they have done it again, with a new video for “Upside Down & Inside Out” featuring the band in zero gravity.

The band explains that the video was made using an “airplane that flies parabolic maneuvers to provide brief periods of weightlessness.” The video was shot in one take, although segments were edited out because the longest period of weightlessness on the airplane is around 27 seconds. Check it out.

For more information on how the video was made, check out the band’s FAQ. “Upside Down & Inside Out” is from the band’s album Hungry Ghosts (2014). The band members of OK Go are Damian Kulash, Tim Nordwind, Dan Konopka, and Andy Ross.

Some of the clips are of individual songs instead of full performances. There are some good ones of Paul Simon, Johnny Cash, Buddy Guy, The Gaslight Anthem, Neil Young, Jackson Browne, Regina Spektor and OK Go.

    For one that you might not expect, check out this 2011 performance by Don McLean, who of course performs “Vincent” and “American Pie.” Here is “Vincent.”
