How OK Go Built the Craziest Rube Goldberg Machine Yet
Gizmodo: "OK Go's new music video for 'This Too Shall Pass' is four minutes of pure Rube Goldberg insanity. And as these behind-the-scenes videos show, it was every bit as monumental an undertaking as you'd expect"

Can it be assumed that the number of smashed TVs in the background equals the number of failed takes?
I absolutely love this video. I think it's increible that a rube goldberg was built that can be timed to the music, as I have recently learned that most common parts of a rube goldberg tend to go very quickly. I like how the article mentions the reset time, since that's very important, but I can't believe that it would require 30 people. I saw another video on youtube explaining that the finished video is actually not one single shot, it was three separate parts edited together, although the machine did work continuously, it was not possible to have it filmed successfully.
This is an ok article at showing how they made the Rube Goldberg. I would like more information into the build and the actual plan that went into it. The videos that they show are not that informative. It just shows a 30 second clip of them doing something but not showing how they actually did it. I guess that would be somewhat boring for some people to read. Overall this entire project was amazing. The 6 weeks it took to build it must have been pretty intense. The reset time being over an hour using 30 people. I cant image setting this back up.
