Trodden paths
August 15, 2008
Every now and then a band steps away from trodden paths and creates something really beautiful. I came across the latest single of Radiohead and the accompanying video. The video was made without any traditional cameras:
“In Radiohead’s new video for “House of Cards”, no cameras or lights were used. Instead, 3D plotting technologies collected information about the shapes and relative distances of objects. The video was created entirely with visualizations of that data.”
An amazing end result. Both musically and visually. I love the dissolving objects as the view point moves forward. Almost like things are swept away by a soft wind. Together with the high pitched voice of the singer… well, judge for yourself. I think it’s one of their best songs, to be honest.

Heads dissolving all over the place. Reminded me of something out of Quatermas and the Pit from long ago. Got hopeful that I was to be entertained when a sort of stream thing appeared, but no, back to the insides of people’s mouths and things. Well, it wasn’t too bad when I shut my eyes I suppose. Might try the whole thing again when I have 4.32 minutes to spare but definitely with the eyes shut. Sorry!
One man’s meat is another man’s poison I guess.
