Music video

In the music video, the performing members of Pilobolus 7 and Ok Go are in sea-foam green jumpsuits. The entire video was performed on top of a steel and plexiglass platform with a projector capturing the images from below. Pilobolus 7 performs a stage version of this that shows one of the frames with the performers all interacting with and around it.

The music video was commissioned by Google Chrome as a Chrome Experiment for HTML5.

Production for the video began shortly after the Tsunami in Japan. The Google Chrome team from Japan contacted OK Go to begin the project. The band described the song as "a love letter to Japan."[1]
