Happy New York Pride! We’re headed off to the equality protest (we’re for, not against equality), so I’m looking forward to being surrounded by beautiful things all day. Here’s something to make you happy, too!
While Skyscrapers, isn’t OK Go’s most memorable song, this video is nothing short of hypnotic. The video’s two-steps-forward/one-step-back visual approach to the color spectrum is thoroughly enjoyable. This is yet another in a long career of brilliant music videos by OK Go. The video was choreographed and directed by Trish Sie, who also starred in the video along with dancer Moti Buchboot. Sie has directed a number of the band’s videos, including their breakthrough hit, one of my favorite music videos of all time, Here It Goes Again.
And there’s a bonus! If you have a Nintendo 3DS, you can watch the pair dance in 3D. Hope you are as captivated as I am!
You can check out all OK Go’s creative endeavors on their website.
And because I can never resist the opportunity to post this video, here I go again…

Loving the Skyscraper one and yes, I have watched the other several times too – really cool but the first one I really love!

The concept is simple enough but the way they executed it was very clever and very well done. It must have been fun to scout out all the locations.

They’re so good at finding practical ways of doing what anyone else would do digitally. It makes their efforts extra awesome!

I bookmarked this site a long time ago, thought I’d stop in see what you’re up to, and a couple of things clicked – like the name “Moti.” Not too many dancers are named Moti.
My sister and he did some performance art on the West Coast, including doing the Tango in a fountain.

Mortechai! What a great name. I’ve known a number of people who were in the Israeli army. The one thing they had in common is that they were all interesting people. Seems like he fits that mold, too!

How cool is that? He’s absolutely wonderful. Hope your sister had fun working with him. Did they shoot any video? I’d love to see tango in a fountain.

Somewhere there’s a video, but it’s unlikely it’s digitized – probably a video cassette.
Sis says the guy’s a hoot, and spoke with him as recently as a week ago.
