It seems Radiohead is always on the brink of the latest technology. Tech geek material so fresh, they're the first to use it in a music video. In Radiohead's latest singled-out song, "House Of Cards" from their mellow from the heralded In Rainbows album, the group went with a different approach to making their video. Instead of using a basic camera and lens, Radiohead resorted to two technologies in order to capture the 3D images in their video: Geometric Informatics and Velodyne LIDAR.
To put it simply, there are no real images, rather an entire video made in rainbow colors, dusted up pictures tag-teamed with Google's geniuses who are on the brink of these GI and LIDAR technologies. Again, these are not real images and no cameras were used. I'll give this video an 8.5 out of 10. Fantastic song as well as a theme that truly adheres to what In Rainbows is all about.
