Particular ones that stuck in my mind were the Ok Go videos, compromising of a range of weird running machine dances and science and paint experiments/domino effect videos. Once we had seen how much organisation went into these, we knew that we had to plan throughly but quickly because it may take a few tries to get it right, but each try wa...
