Audio Clicks: Radiohead’s “House Of Cards” Video Bends The Creep Out Of A Subterranean Homesick Alien.

Radiohead’s “House Of Cards” has hit the web and a lot of peeps, including us, are doing the “oooooooo” response the likes of watching Jurassic Park for the first time. The reason is in the video’s innovative methods:

“The Geometric Informatics scanning system employs structured light to capture detailed 3D images at close proximity, and was used to render the performances of Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, the female lead, and several partygoers. The Velodyne Lidar system uses multiple lasers to capture large environments in 3D, in this case 64 lasers rotating and shooting in a 360 degree radius 900 times per minute, capturing all of the exterior scenes and wide party shots.”

Basically, no lights or cameras were used which means Coldplay’s annoying Apple commercial with all the colors and rainbows is really lame compared to this. Next stop for us is playing this bad boy on a projector screen. Yeah, we thought of it first. The “how it was made” vid is below:
