OK Go's music video for Needing/Getting, shot in the desert with a Chevy Sonic fitted with pneumatic arms that play over a thousand instruments across two miles.

Recommended as an example of inventive, physical-effects music video making, with the car as an instrument.

A number of their music videos are quite creative: * in a zero-G plane: link * one-take (?) on electric unicycles: link * 4.2s real-time scene with the footage slowed down to 4 minutes: link * Chevrolet-sponsored video where they use a moving car as an instrument: ▶ this video

It’s also worth mentioning that while OK Go while makes catchy tunes, they aren’t your typical starving artist stick it to the man band being victimized by BigCorp. They’ve always been quite in line with marketing, advertising and working with corporations. This Chevrolet ad/OK Go music video is from a decade ago: ▶ this video Note: I don’t dislike OK Go at all, don’t get me wrong, I think they make some of the most creative music videos I have ever seen.

Ah, these are the guys who did "This Too Shall Pass"? I've been trying to work out who did this song - it's been infuriating me for ages! Incidentally, you really aught to see how they make music with a car... ▶ this video
