A series of behind-the-scenes episodes has also been produced using the Samsung NX100, following OK Go as they embark on this creative project.

The NX100 is the ideal camera for consumers who want to discover their inner creativity, incorporating the revolutionary 20mm wide i-Function Lens with both automatic and fast manual settings, and the fastest Auto Focus (AF) on a mirrorless camera to date, to ensure quick and easy quality shooting.

It delivers total image control with fast manual settings to ensure quick and easy image capturing, and also provides customized settings which are specifically designed for the lens being used. The camera also has a lightweight, compact and modern design to make it easy to carry and delivers the perfect pictures at your fingertips.
