Wow, a music video with some interesting science instead of hoochie mama's getting down on some pimp. If only society actually valued this type of thinking behavior instead of lizard brain mentality.


I take offense to that good sir! Some of my best friends are Hoochie Mama's and Pimps!!

This will forever be a discussion between people who work with colours.
In the print industry, the photographic industry or the artists of the world.

The truth is it's different for what ever your process is.
RGB for Light
CMYK for Print
& RYB for artists
I work in all three industries and need to switch my brain back and forth between them constantly.

What they are showing here at the most primary level is the RYB colour wheel that kids learn first. It's basic paints and crayons. These are the base pigments used in paints; Cadmium Yellow & Red, Phthalocyanine (Phthalo) Blue or Cobalt Blue. The closest paint colour to magenta would be a Quinacridone.
The primary colours are the ones all others are made from. These are the ones you can't make by adding something else. We use the chemicals that are the absolute most pure to create these pigmants. They are the highest level of purity and intensity a colour can be. Once you start mixing them, the intensity can only be reduced.
Of course these would be balanced using a titanium white, Iron Oxide Black (plus Umber & Sienna).

As we get older, science class points out that light works differently and is a process that works in subtractive colour. Light being white and the other colours being made by adding filters to block various parts of the spectrum.A blue surface isn't so much blue as it just holds on to all wavelengths of the spectrum but reflects the part of the spectrum that is blue. (Etc.)

In indusry, (and most people still don't under stand this process), the printing process uses Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key (Black) (in a transparent or dot)layered fashion to simulate a full colour image.

And don't forget Hexachrome (CMYKOG) which also ads the Orange and Green coloured inks (because simple CMYK cannot simulate every colour).

The CMYK colour system is a simulation of colour and are NOT primary colours. Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black are the primary colours within that system only.

ROY G BIV
R Y B are more accurately the Primary Colours in the light and colour spectrum. The coulours between them OG(I)V are all Secondary colours.

*Sidenote: Magenta is an odd coulour which comes from that one man out theory. Indigo is the invisible colour in the spectrum that breaks the rule. That's why in order to create a Cyan colour in paint, we use a Quinacridone pigment. Quinacridone is a transparent colour only and can't be made opaque without mixing it with another pigment and loosing it's purity. It's a damm expensive pigment so it's rarely used.

Primary colours of light are Red Green and Blue.
Primary colours of pigment are Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black.
I'm a geeky printer so this bugs the hell out of me. Blue is a mix of Cyan and Magenta, so it's not primary. It's a mix. Red is a mix of Magenta and Yellow.
Maybe they just weren't clever enough to find rhymes for Magenta or Cyan. It's just a shame they had to be wrong.

It does seem like dag is right -- this only works on this scale for famous people who already have a fanbase.

But the internet works for "the little folk" too -- can't get signed with a big company? See if you can win the internet lottery and then maybe you'll get a deal. Some kind of deal. I'm thinking OK Go as an example.

Piracy is piracy, however you justify it. You can so you do. As I have done, albeit only through jumping on things quick on YouTube before they get shut down. No skills to do anything else.

Thats pretty harsh this only got 5 votes, its a really well done video, I doubt its the first one take video like claimed, as I know OK GO as been doing those for years.

Great OK Go shout out at 2:38.

That will either appear at the next Olympics or the next Ok Go video.

It's the Japanese OK Go!

I wonder if they were actually trying to look like Asimo, or if that was a side-effect.

Thanks for the promote!

I really don't want to doubt the awesome that is OK go, but without seeing something like a pullback and them showing a very large stack of toast, or even just "(x) toast was harmed in the making of this video" I have a hard time believing this one.
