In March, the band OK Go in a collaborative effort with the international dance troupe, Pilobolus, filled and released its' music video on YouTube.  The Wordwide Debut of "All Is Not Lost." The music video was filed for an entire week in the Old Town Hall during the month of March. The ceiling of the Old Town Hall was used as a backdrop in the video. 

OK Go has earned considerable fame for their creative but often low-budget music videos, most of which have been promoted through Internet video sharing sites like YouTube. Many of these have become viral videos; the 2006 video for "Here It Goes Again", where the band performed a complex routine with the aid of motorized treadmills, has received over 50 million views four years later, according to Wikipedia.com.

Mr. Stomski said during the week of filming, the group of about 30 production and film staff stayed in area hotels, ate meals in local restaurants, had catered food purchased throughout the day and hired local temporary production and support staff.

"This was a great boost to our local economy, it continues to follow our plan to help revitalize our local economy by utilizing Woodbury's infrastructure of art, history and culture," said Mr. Stomski.
