We like the new(ish) video to Radiohead's 'House Of Cards', and figure you might, too. So here it is.

Video: Radiohead, 'House Of Cards'

- -

The video was made using lasers designed to detect the distance between objects; thus, the video looks a little odd, and rather grainy. The laser images were distorted further, giving the impression that certain parts of the video are disintegrating.

Late? Nah.

Super hi-res version only went up on Saturday. Hence the link. I looked into putting it here to watch in hi-res but it would've DESTROYED DiS, basically.

And it's nice to watch.

Pure innovation.

Something Radiohead seem to be really good at.

Music videos don't often impress me,

but House of Cards, especially in high-resolution is truly astounding. Impeccable digital artistic vision that complements its audible accompaniment so meticulously with themes of destruction and transcendental suspension thanks to the song's ethereal nature.

Haunting beyond anything i've previously experienced in terms of music videography.

I'm really quite blown away by that. Massive kudos.

.

The scene shots look like they were originally done using terrestrial laser scanning techniques. e.g. an instrument spins 360 degrees sending millions of points of light, which reflect back to the sensor. The instrument measures the amount of time it takes the lights to return and creates 3D pictures.

Looks very kool. bx
