That was wonderful and I don’t want to look for faults to ruin the magic.

Not one take. Look behind the left curtain at 2:28. As it breaks open, the light behind it disappears.

Hate to break this to you guys, but this was actually several takes edited together. There are a few subtle cuts throughout the clip. None the less, awesome vid!

The longest video Rube Goldberg was mentioned before, is called “Der Lauf Der Dinge”(The way things go) By Peter Fishle from Switzerland. This vid has several cuts, check you tube for the “making of” vid.

Fantastic – I wonder how long that took to put together?

just because it’s cut doesn’t change the fact that it still may be one single shot. At 2:25, the bit missing may just be the camera swinging down and lining up with the rail… it may have been lost simply to the timing of the singing. That section of the rube goldberg may have been put in just so they had a place to cut time and re-sync everything as things do go off time, and getting it to work in the first place is probably no easy feat.

Its not all in one shot….there are cuts just look at the scene at 2:25 or so. Creative, looks seamless…

Nice music video!
Although I have seen much more impressive Rube Goldberg machines. i saw one that was like… an hour long…. through a string of warehouses. It had explosions, chemical reactions, you name it. No Goldberg I’ve seen since compares.

There is no 3d imaging. In fact, the engineers (NASA scientist included), artists and friends that ended up helping with this insisted that the whole thing be done au-natural with no computer generated effects. Most of the work was donated time by many, many friends and friends of friends of OK Go members.
