Hey, does everybody remember those viral dance videos from OK Go? They did them for songs like “A Million Ways” (the one in the back yard) and “Here It Goes Again” (the one with the treadmills). If not, you might want to follow those links to take a look (they won’t let me embed them).
Those are great fun, and I have a lot of respect for the amount of work OK Go puts into entertaining their fans…
But now take a look at the Nicholas Brothers in this scene from Stormy Weather:
Fred Astaire once called this “the greatest dance number ever filmed.”
I think if you wanted to do something like this today, you’d probably have to use CGI…
Note that the Nicholas Brothers did the whole thing in one long take. No breaks, no editing, no mistakes.
Excellent video!
we’ve watched this several times- neat!
