Radiohead’s new video for “House of Cards” (supposedly premiering sometime soon) off In Rainbows (you’ve heard of it) was shot without the use of cameras. Instead, the band opted to use new laser technologies called Geometric Informatics and Velodyne Lidar to shoot the video.
“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.”
So, basically they used lasers, and said lasers are awesome. Look for the video soon.
This is an amazing video. I want a “camcorder” that records in lasers…[via prefix ]

People, please do not blindly trust a tattoo artst to write something in any language. Verify, double check, call it to commitee, do whatever you can to ensure that iit is exactly what you want. Meaning, spelling, etc. I have latin tattoo’d on my body, and I spent days checking and double checking that it was correct prior to having it drawn up. I know some really smart tattoo artists, but when it comes to foreign languages that you don’t speak fluently, check your work.

This is horrible if it is real. I am skeptical as to if this happened during the actual ceremonies…maybe a rehearsal. I didn’t see the opening, though.

I still think this idea has a lot of merit. I think the concept looks pretty cool, but might be a little too free flowing. Either way, the concept looks impressive, and I am down to give it a shot if it ever sees the light of day.
