Radiohead - House of cards.



If you're a fan of Radiohead, you're probably more than familiar with this video and with this song (if you're not a fan of Radiohead, shame on you).

I think one of the most amazing things about this video is no video cameras were used at all whatsoever in order to put this video together, the whole thing however was produced in Velodyne and Geometric Informatics, as well as being processed (see what I did there) in Processing, an open source java programme which can be used to produce, well, just about anything...

The data for the video was carried within a stack of csv files which are all available here (caution: probably not safe for people with lousy connections, 300-400 mb spread out over 2 zip files) so you can have a go at altering the data yourself and behold the results for yourself...

You can also view the actual 3D visualisation at this link here and you can play with it as much as your mouse will allow you to.

Nothing short of absolutely astounding, as well as a sheer sign that Radiohead both musically and from a visual point of view are lightyears ahead of the competition.

Stunning.
