Radiohead — House of Cards
Radiohead has a new video out, for their song “House of Cards” from In Rainbows. The video was created without use of a traditional camera, instead relying on modeling techniques that use lasers to pinpoint the distance of an object and its topology. While the video isn’t the most action-packed, the visuals made are interesting, and, in their current style, Radiohead have released all the data from the video so that anyone can remix the video. I’d normally show the video here, but instead I recommend you head over to this page, which explains the concepts behind the rendering technology, and has the data available for download. Oh, and the video is there too.

They use a non-traditional camera, and you support this? What kind of conservative hipster are you….
Clearly a conservative Radiohead video would be a silent film. The way of our grandfathers.

Or alternately some kind of awful John Cage video. Very *not* conservative.

The physicist can’t appreciate the awesomeness of making a video with laser beams? For shame.
