Given a gravity-defying plane in the skies near Moscow, one would expect them to have a carefully prepared script and storyboard before taking off - to ensure that no moment was wasted. From the sound of it, OK Go didn't waste a moment - but not by tightly scripting everything. They took 21 flights over three weeks, but those three weeks did not happen consecutively. During the first, they spent their time gathering material on what worked, throwing in everything from cans of beans to paint to eggs to see what created the most interesting visuals in zero gravity.
