The new Radiohead video is shot completely without a camera using advanced live action 3D scanners in development at UCLA.
Here is the making of video.
And the finished product.
The idea apparently came from electronic artist and UCLA researcher Aaron Koblin, whose work was featured in Design and the Elastic Mind at MoMA.
This Scientific American post has more details.

So what do we think about the explanation? It’s sort of like Photoshopping eyes in on a bride who blinked during the “I Do’s”, no?

I discover my photographic life.
Do I exist?
I am a little RGB,
I am a little CMYK,
I am a little shit,
On I’m-a-dinner-jacket’s vest.

The link was missing from the previous post … so here one good source:
The previous “Restored Authorized Edition” was released in 2002 (I saw it in Berlin) … It indicated sections that were missing but thought to exist … Now this …. a classic that gets better and better …

It’s very beautiful visually. I think it’s interesting also that the first thing they did with it was try to distort it with interference from water, feathers, and finally a mirror, to achieve what I believe Thom Yorke called “vaporization,” if I heard the “making of” video correctly. The implication: not only do we all exist in electronic media, but our existence there is precarious and our identity is subject to rapid and unpredictable change. Apparently, breaking up is not hard to do, at least if you have millions of dollars of 3-D scanning equipment.
