In Radiohead’s new video for “House of Cards”, no cameras or lights were used. Instead, 3D plotting technologies collected information about the shapes and relative distances of objects. The video was created entirely with visualizations of that data.

The ad giant BBH (http://www.bartleboglehegarty.com/) just launched a new site. They’ve always been on the cutting edge of clean, unique and fun web design. Their new site, though dizzying, incorporates a cute little interactive sheep which I found similar to our Lyrek, Inc‘s (http://www.lyrek.net) seaters. It’s worth a few minutes to check out if you have some downtime on this overcast Friday.

Take a look at the Tiltviewer featured on Airtight‘s site. This is the guy that’s responsible for the new MySpace video player, completely rebuilt in AS3. The TiltViewer is quite similar to the components available at AFComponents, built (I believe) in PaperVision, but feels smoother and more natural. This isn’t to say that AFComponents‘3D Carousel and Stack Components aren’t just as awe-inspiring—keep in mind this is coming from your lowly blogger that only knows AS2—but it just seemed to be a nice, clean and fluid component.

I always thought something was missing from his original video and now I realize that I was always slightly sad that he was dancing alone. Maybe he did, too?

And, as this (too) was sponsored by Stride gum, I sorta want to see a ram head-butt him at the end and some guys in a van come and take his gum away.“A-agent?”
