Tim of OK Go admits he was especially excited about visiting the land of yogurt and treats- Pinkberry. Upon entering, his friend Tim (II),  almost runs him over (accidentally, of course). They somehow become inspired by Tim’s (I) near-death-experience and tell fellow band mate Damian they should make a music video for their debut single “WTF?” (yes, that is an acronym for the commonly referenced phrase…”What the F*ck!”). Tim (II), a video extraordinaire, becomes inspired by painter and sculptor Thomas Eakins who innovated the concept of motion photography. What later ensues is a stirring video that involves blank space, beach balls, confetti, and a host of good amigos running amuck. Produced in merely one take, this psychotropic, trance-induced, acid- heavy video will take you for a swirl.
