Are OK Go videos about music or are they about visual art or are they about science? SIMULTANEOUSLY: Science. The
arts. Exactly, it's about all of those. See, a lot of people think of math and
science and engineering as --as processes that come to an answer like one plus one
is two, but the fact is like they're really just tools and if what you want
to do is make art or you want to make music a lot of times you need science to
do those things so what we like to do is look at those processes for what they
can get us emotionally right? And today we're gonna do a bunch of art projects, a
bunch of science projects, that are really about process and we're going to
play with stuff and try to see if we can get to the most emotion rather than just
get to the right answer. Have you guys ever seen when like paint or ink gets into
water and it gets all like crazy looking? Yeah the like --it's like Paisley's
like upside down flowers. It's cool. Yeah, well we have here is we have these tubes
of water, so it's just just water in here and then we have a bunch of stuff that
we're gonna put in and see what happens when we when we drop it in the water.
These are different thicknesses? Yeah, so I think this is like dish soap, this is
food coloring I think. DAN: probably pretty light. DAMIAN: That looks --this looks
thick, it must be food coloring also but that's --that's thick. DAN: Yeah that's thick. So just like make some art
huh? Let's do it. I want to start with a thick one and see how it goes. DAMIAN: Oooh.
Whoa, It drops fast.
That's exciting. ALL: Whoa DAMIAN: Barely moving at all though. That's gorgeous. That is so beautiful. ANDY: What does
that feel like to you? Does that feel like a cloud or --? DAMIAN: It feels like -- ANDY: It's like sad
almost. TIM: Almost peaceful. DAMIAN: It is, I mean it feels like watching fireworks in slow motion
upside down. What happens if we go --if we --if we drop something fast through the
cloud of slow. DAMIAN: Woah! and then you get this sort of like glassy thing. TIM: It's a little like stringy. DAN: I'm going to
try some of this red, more thick food coloring.
ALL: Whoa . They're like little snakes. Little tadpoles.
ANDY: Can you drop it into the middle of a spinny water? DAMIAN: Do you want the slow one or fast one? ANDY: I don't know
DAMIAN:I'm gonna do medium ANDY:I mean --tell me when you're gonna go DAMIAN: Three. Two. One.
ANDY: It's dancing. TIM: So, if we're gonna make a music video out of the corn syrup, the
dish soap, the food coloring --like what did you guys like best? I mean I like
them all, but I would --I think I would --my favorite was the food coloring .
Yeah that moves really slow. It just felt the most sculptural to me too. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. We got to find a song though that's gonna move slowly like that right?
Yes. Well I mean you never know because sometimes the the contrast is
good. You have some songs you want to try this with Dan? I do, let's try this one. Okay,
yeah I'm gonna go. *Turn Up the Radio starts playing* TIM: There's no drama. *Bright as Your Eyes starts playing* TIM: Ooh, this already feels different. DAMIAN: It
does, it's got like a nice--it like almost feels like
it's dancing. TIM: Yeah, maybe like in slow motion, you know? DAN: That's cool. DAMIAN: Give us
anything else, let's just make sure we like this one best. This one. *Another Set of Issues starts playing* ANDY: That's pretty good. DAMIAN: That's pretty
good too
Those are awesome. Alright, here we go. Let's make a three
part video. One, we got the flower of this cool business right? This is the food
coloring. That'll like move slowly maybe we give a little bit of mix. Then, blue
drops, watch it green up right? Yeah. But then when the chorus comes we go with
the heavier, heavier bits, tadpoles and the
bubbly oil to end it. And here we go, beginning middle end, we got ourselves a
cool music video. TIM: That's cool. We ready for this? Okay. TIM: Camera is rolling *Another Set of Issues starts playing*
DAMIAN: Okay, let's just let it sit right? DAN, ANDY, TIM: Yeah.
DAMIAN: Wow, it really feels like the song doesn't it? Yeah. Okay, so
I'm gonna come chorus with red right? Ah --tadpoles. No, tadpoles. Yeah. One, two, three and
Oh yeah!
You get ready to spin? Yep TIM: I love the green on top and pink on bottom. DAMIAN: And this is going to be
be the big end? Yeah. Let me go in first.
You're getting at the bottom Tim? TIM: Yes, I am.
DAMIAN: And three, two, one and. That's simple. That's good. I think we nailed it
guys. Good job. Good. TIM: All right, now drink it ALL: Tim! TIM: I'm just kidding, I'm just
kidding.
