My friend and neighbor worked on the crew for that video, one of the
happy cheering faces in the loft above the band near the end. The pile
of smashed TVs in the background barely tells the story of how difficult
it was to make; more telling is the exhausted look on the band members'
faces. IIRC he told me that the final take we see in that video
happened around 3:30AM after many dozens of takes, each one requiring
all of the elements to be reset (note the amount of paint on their
splash suits at the start of the video).
As much as I appreciate the technical flourish of the Chrome app, I'm
even more impressed by the low-tech Rube Goldberg machine they set up
for that video. Now *that's* ingenuity.
