Interactive Radiohead Music Video
Radiohead’s new video for their single ‘House of Cards’ was created without the use of conventional cameras. Instead it uses 3D acquisition techniques to create a unique video, an interactive experience, and the possibility for fans to create their own videos.
To create the visuals, two different 3D acquisition systems were used. The Geometric Informatics scanning system, which is designed to capture 3D images at close range, was used to scan the face of Thom Yorke singing and other extras in the video. The Velodyne Lidar system on the other hand is able to capture large environments in 3D using 64 lasers that shoot in a 360 degree radius. This technique was primarily used to capture exterior scenes.
The captured data was used to create the unique retro look of the video, but apart from that an interactive version has also been released in which it’s possible to rotate and zoom through the 3D point clouds that make up the visuals. An extra feature, for the nerds among us, is the raw data that was captured, which fans can use to further expand the video.
