OK Go performs in zero-gravity for Upside Down & Inside Out music video
Music: director and choreographer Trish Sie tells Dezeen about how she worked with US band OK Go to create the gravity-defying stunts in the music video for the track Upside Down & Inside Out (+ interview).
The video sees the four-piece rock band perform a routine choreographed by Sie while experiencing weightlessness inside a moving plane.
The band members and a cabin crew release colourful objects and disco balls, before popping paint-filled balloons, all while under zero-gravity conditions.
"What's the most fun thing you can do with an airplane" Fly around in zero-gravity, of course!" Sie told Dezeen.
Sie is the sister of OK Go's vocalist Damien Kulash and has worked with the band on many of its music videos.
Her choreography and direction for the video filmed on treadmills that accompanies the 2006 track Here It Goes Again won a Grammy Award for Best Music Video.
For Upside Down & Inside Out, the duo revisited a zero-gravity experience they had at Florida's Cape Canaveral.

"We loved the idea that an entire video might be made in a weightless environment," said Sie.
When Russian airline S7 approached the band to collaborate, Sie and Kulash pitched the idea and the company surprisingly went for it.
"It was incredible that S7 had the open minds and the guts enough to say yes and to let us do it," Sie said. "...
