OK Go's new music video, featuring an insane Rube Goldberg machine

Apart from the machine itself, I love the camera work. It seems that:

- it (most likely) had to be a person, not a simple arm with camera, to pass through tunnels, etc. (yet the movement is really soft)

- the person had to keep avoiding strings along the way, which I imagine was quite hard while keeping the view on current action

You can see the camera man's reflection in the silver ball about 2m28s into the video.

A Steadicam is how you get smooth movement while walking with a camera: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steadicam

Agreed; this really was what impressed me most. Pulling off a long shot like that is really quite challenging technically.
