We are pleased to announce a video remix project for our video “WTF?”
http://www.vimeo.com/7166047
We want you, our lovely and creative fans, to remix the WTF? video using the raw footage as shot by filmmaker Tim Nackashi. Tim shot the whole video using a “greenscreen” background like this:
Which allows you to supply your own background layer to the video like this:

So Remix Our Video!
We invite you to:
- Download the raw greenscreen footage and import it into your video editing software.
- Use the greenscreen or chroma key effect to remove the background and generally mess with things to create your own version of the video.
- Upload your version as a video response on YouTube and we’ll embed them all below.

And don’t feel like you need to remix the entire video. A small excerpt is just fine. Here’s an example by our friend Casey Opstad (thanks Casey!).

How long is the video remix project running for?.
the project is pretty much open-ended, though we’ll be paying close attention for the next two months and maybe sending out some cool stuff to the people who’s videos particularly tickle our fancy…
Awesome! I just found out about this contest. Totally gonna make something wicked.

[...] OK Go certainly know how to work that video camera. And they sure know how to get their fans’ attention. They launched a video remix project at the beginning of the year for their single “WTF,” which you may have started to hear on the ads for “Bones” and “Fringe.” It’s a lovely way to waste a couple of minutes at work – just watching the original trippy video or the rest of the crazy remixes – or indeed a lot longer if you’re willing to submit you’re own masterpiece. Be warned – there is (naturally) a couple of bad words at the beginning! [...]
I made a WTF remix a while back but I used Adobe Premiere Pro, which now only has Keying and no GreenScreen option anymore, so basically the quality isn’t great. Hence, why I never sent it in. Sadness.
