Radiohead - House of Cards (VIDEO)

Radiohead isn't usually what we post here on the site, but I kept hearing about how their new House of Cards video was absolutely different than anything else out there in the way that it was filmed, and I wanted to share it.

Director James Frost didn't use cameras for the shoot, instead opting for 64 Lidar laser-enhanced 3D scanners to film Thom Yorke's performance. The set was riddled with engineers and tech support instead of an actual film crew, and the result is an eerie blend of art and technology that just feels right.



Because the video is all data-dependent and driven, they were also able to create an interactive viewer that lets you zoom around Thom Yorke's 3D "ghost" throughout the entire video. Zoom into the Yorke particles right here. Frost also mentioned that pretty soon folks will be able to download the data from the hosted Google code page and manipulate it to their heart's delight.
