Radioheads new video for House of Cards

This should make up for the Hayden Panettiere music post. Radiohead just released their new music video for their oh-so-awesome song "House of Cards" from the album In Rainbows without using a single camera.

Instead of your basic music video with dancing girls or the band simply standing in a studio playing instruments, Radiohead seems to always come up with a new inovative style for their videos. This time it's using state of the art 3D technology, LIDAR laser scanning.

Instead of going with underwater singing, fully animated epic, or a mysterious series of "blips," the band decided to forgo the use of cameras altogether for their latest single, House of Cards. Using 3D video acquisition systems from Geometric Informatics, and 64-element, 360-degree LIDAR from Velodyne, the band was able to create a clip that eschews traditional video recording for haunting, complex data visualizations.

You can watch the music video and  "the making of House of Cards" below. Enjoy!
