That is AWESOME! Thanks for posting. That seems like a very long parabolic flight, but what do I know...

They were interviewed on Science Friday today - said it was filmed over 7 days, so there's probably a LOT of edits and other things. (They also got motion sick as well.)

Not floating for long. OK Go has out done themselves with this one. Have watched it a few times. Can't quite tell if it is one take. If so it was one very long parabola. EDIT one shot but each weightless cycle is only 30 seconds. They would all stop and hold as still as possible for the recycle then continue on. The only edit was to cut the non 0 G parts out. 7 days of shooting with practice and full cycles of all but the balloons. End of each day they would add in the balloons in on the last full shoot. over 50 vomit events during shooting. The band was well dosed on anti nausea drugs. The flight attendants were pro performers.

NASA has an aircraft equipped for 0 G training named the Vomit Comet. I seem to recall reading the the flight suits have a pocket with a barf bag.

Who keeps making these people?
