Make Your Own WTF?

Friday, December 25th, 2009

Call it a Make-Your-Own-WTF device, (or don’t) but our friend Jonathan Bobrow was so inspired by our WTF? video that he developed an amazing application that lets you make your own video for the song. Simply download the application for your operating system, fire up your webcam, and give it a go!

Note that we also have a WTF? Video Remix project going on right now, so if you like editing video, head over to the WTF? Video Remix page for more info.

WTF for Windows WTF for Mac WTF for Linux

Enjoy it, and if you make something you’d like the world to see, simply upload it as a video response to the official video.

Also, the code is open source, so if you want to see how it was made, or build on it in any way, the source code is provided in the downloads above!

Happy Holidays from OK Go

Monday, December 21st, 2009

We all know you have to wait until January 12th to buy our new album, Of the Blue Colour of the Sky, but we wanted to give you something to tide you over for the gift giving season. It just didn’t feel right otherwise.

As such, we are pleased to announce the release of the WTF? app, created by interactive designer Jonathan Bobrow and inspired by the amazing work of Tim Nackashi who created the official WTF? video.

Download the app from our site, and use it to create your own version of the video, or anything else you feel like making!

Happy Holidays,

OK Go
