it's a music video, still, it's cool to see this stuff even if you don't like the music:

Wow, i was a bit worried in the beginning, but, hell, it turned out awesome! Even if the song isn't that great, the video is! Thanks!;)

That was amazing! I don't have time for it now, but I'm gonna watch those "Making of" videos later.

Awesome video! Thanks for brightening up my day.

That is miles better than the marching band video of theirs. Any idea of how many steps they had in that set up? IIRC the current world record is 230 which was set sometime last week -- and is now held by a presenter for Toribia no Izumi (despite the fact that he had nothing to do with the creation of the Rube Goldberg machine that broke the record).
For those interested, the record was broken using the same set up and team that held the previous record of 229 steps (all they did was add a camera to take a photo at the end ¬_¬).

hmmm. i saw that show too. What did he actually do??
Their machine wasn't as impressive as this though, as a lot of the steps were very small.

Asides from jumping in to the photo at the end, nothing. The machine was already built be the people who built it before (they also added the camera). So why he was awarded the record is a complete mystery.
And I agree, compared to this one, the record breaking one was bordering on boring - it was way too small with too much happening at the same time.

It may be not as spectacular or long as the one in the OP, but those familiar with MythBusters (and haven't seen it yet) may also find this entertaining. Of course, not only them, but they have more background info for it ;-).

Fantastic.

Interesting and makes one wonder how many takes that required! :o)

Well, at least more than one, judging from their paint smeared appearance :D
OK GO videos are kind of awesome already, they're always taken in one shot without any editing, but this one was truly brilliant!

It would be interesting to see their final sketches for the path / result . . . . =)

Wow. That's one of the coolest videos I've ever seen.

Yesterday when I watched it was only in the 175,000 views, now it's already on 1,379,047.
Here's the list of making of videos (2 minutes each):

Cool, I've missed that one.
I also like Time Warp from discovery, I have to rent the Blu-ray of it someday to watch it in HD.
