Just when you thought OK Go must have exhausted all the possibilities of the insanely ingenious&nbsp;art-performance video; and that <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2014/06/19/ok-go-writings-wall-aaron-duffy-damian-kulash-jr-bob-partington" target="_blank">Writing&#39;s On The Wall</a> was surely&nbsp;the last word in jawdroppingly art directed and&nbsp;choreographed one-take&nbsp;extravaganzas...&nbsp;Okay, no-one actually thought that they would stop doing this sort of thing. We&#39;re just glad that&nbsp;Honda got in touch, and showed the guys something they&#39;ve been working on for a while...&nbsp;It&#39;s the latest beta version of Honda&#39;s mini-personal mobility device,&nbsp;the Uni-Cub. Part-unicycle, part sitdown segway, it&#39;s the co-star of the video&nbsp;for I Won&#39;t Let You Down, together with hundreds of Japanese schoolkids who also make a crucial contribution to a visual display only visible from the air.The result,&nbsp;directed by Damian together with Kazuaki Seki, and&nbsp;Morihiro Harano as creative director, is just as impressive and spectacular as we have come to expect from this remarkable band.But arguably the biggest star of the video, in a technical sense,&nbsp;is behind the camera. Or rather, it is the eye of the video. When the horizontal steadicam-like movement (shot half-speed, as is clear from the first seconds of the video) as OK Go move on their Uni-Cubs from studio to exterior,&nbsp;suddenly goes vertical,&nbsp;it&#39;s no secret how it&#39;s done. But it is one of the most imaginative&nbsp;uses of drone technology yet seen.For a band that specialises in &#39;wow&#39; moments, it is up there with the best. OK Go actually don&#39;t let us down, do they?<a href="http://khon2.com/2014/10/29/how-did-they-do-that-ok-gos-music-video-in-japan-goes-viral/" target="_blank">&bull; More on how they made the&nbsp;I Won&#39;t Let You Down video</a>
