Here is a crazy video from Radiohead using no cameras, “uses real time 3D recording instead of cameras, utilizing highly technical structured light and Lidar laser-enhanced scanners to model lead singer Thom Yorke and provide an otherworldly narrative accompaniment to the song.” The technology here creates all kinds of directions for video and scanning. I am thinking of real-time images for something like goolge street view to have live images via the web. Obviously the technology would have to become much more cleaner but the possibilities are unlimited.
On the other hand, the way the technology is being used in this video provides an amazing mood which compliments the song perfectly. Radiohead has a way of combining current technology into their music and videos that push the boundaries in a variety of fields which leads to an entire multimedia experience. The attack on all the senses makes the band brilliant. Check out the video as well as an article and behind the scenes video from Creativity Online…
I am on a typography kick and ran into this wonderful video short of a classic pulp fiction scene rendered as type. It was done by Jarratt Moody, a SCAD student. colorful language can be expected…
Stella Artois, a European brewery not only has super sweet beer that everyone should try it also has a couple of amazing websites. There regular site, www.stellaartois.com, is very entertaining with the its’ “cinema” style. It blends the borders of a websites navigation into a entertaining film(s). Classic example of an Advertainment in my mind.
They also have a new campaign called “Le Courage” where you bravely navigate the challenges of brewing beer in 1366. Again its a wonderful blend of advertisement and entertainment. It has a short, amusing story line which you play a simple short “game” to accomplish your task. The visuals themselves are a very well done flash piece that combines live action video with flash interactivity. Check out it out here.

I have been learning Final Cut for work and put together this intro for a group presentation we did last month. I shot this with an HDV camera, edited in FC and exported an FLV.
