Ok Go - most elaborate music video ever

Chicago band Ok Go are well-known for their elaborate music videos and their latest for 'Needing/Getting' is no exception.
Man oh man, what a massive installation to build! How much did it cost? How many guitars/pianos did they break? What if it rained during production? Oh so many questions ... but sit back and enjoy!
- "The new music video from OK Go, made in partnership with Chevrolet. OK Go set up over 1000 instruments over two miles of desert outside Los Angeles. A Chevy Sonic was outfitted with retractable pneumatic arms designed to play the instruments, and the band recorded this version of Needing/Getting, singing as they played the instrument array with the car. The video took 4 months of preparation and 4 days of shooting and recording. There are no ringers or stand-ins; Damian took stunt driving lessons. Each piano had the lowest octaves tuned to the same note so that they'd play the right note no matter where they were struck."
Here is another of their videos - for 'This Too Shall Pass' - the set was produced by Rube Goldberg.
