A new video from Ok Go. You know it’s going to be one continuous shot and totally awesome. Sit back, relax, butter up that popcorn, and enjoy the ride.

“Tiny spy cameras allow you to see some of the world’s most magnificent birds in flight. Watch this video to learn how the fastest bird on the planet, the peregrine falcon, keeps control at mind-numbing speeds, and take a flight with the master of maneuverability, the Gos Hawk, as it flies through dense woodland.”

High Dynamic Range photography has been all the rage the last few years, but this is the first time I’ve seen it done with video! The way HDR works is a series of photos of the same object are taken at different levels of exposure — first exposing for the sky / background, then the object, then the foreground (and other intermediaries). Then all of the photos are digitally stitched together to create a photo where every area of it is perfectly exposed. This makes photos look beautiful and vibrant, almost like a painting.
Now this is possible with video — at least a very preliminary version of it with two different exposure levels. I predict that in a few years, HDR video will be all the rage. It just looks so awesome. Check out the video:
