"Just when you thought&amp;#xA0;OK Go&amp;#xA0;couldn&amp;apos;t get any flashier, the alt-rock band ascends&amp;#xA0;to new heights of eye-popping complexity with their new video for &amp;quot;I Won&amp;apos;t Let You Down.&amp;quot; The clip, co-directed by frontman Damian Kulash and&amp;#xA0;Kazuaki Seki, finds the band riding around on omni-directional scooters called UNI-CUBs and synchronizing with an army of umbrella-wielding friends.&amp;#xA0;Forget treadmill dances or Rube Goldberg devices or surreal optical-art illusions&amp;#xA0;&amp;#x2013; this baby&amp;apos;s the real deal.&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\nThe video&amp;#xA0;was created using a&amp;#xA0;custom &amp;quot;multi-copter camera,&amp;quot; and the creative team puts that technology to good use throughout. Opening in low-key territory, the quartet drive around on their futuristic wheels while hand-clapping and finger-snapping to the song&amp;apos;s synth-fueled disco-funk; then the camera darts upward, and the results become far trippier.&amp;#xA0;\r\nFirst, the band makes a subtle call-back to the jittery silliness of the &amp;quot;Can&amp;apos;t Buy Me Love&amp;quot; scene&amp;#xA0;in the Beatles&amp;apos;&amp;#xA0;A Hard Day&amp;apos;s Night&amp;#xA0;movie, while the clip ends with an extended, mind-boggling&amp;#xA0;aerial view&amp;#xA0;of color-coded umbrellas spelling out the band&amp;apos;s name and song title.&amp;#xA0;The grand finale was stitched together from 44 separate takes (using 2,328 people), but the high-tech editing doesn&amp;apos;t diminish its visual impact. &amp;#xA0;\r\nThe band initiated the video &amp;#x2013; filmed in Japan&amp;apos;s Chiba Prefecture this past August &amp;#x2013; by approaching Honda through creative director Morihiro Harano. &amp;quot;I Won&amp;apos;t Let You Down&amp;quot; is featured on the quartet&amp;apos;s fourth studio album, Hungry Ghosts, which was released earlier this month.\r\nOK Go will kick off their 2015 headline theater tour on March 21st, 2015 in San Francisco; full details of the trek will be announced soon. &amp;#xA0;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
