Radiohead Video - Cool Laser Scanners Out-Franky Franky Goes To Hollywood
The video proves once and for all that CGI and Radiohead are two great tastes that taste great together. The basic idea is this, screw the cameras 86 the lights scan everything and make the whole piece out of realtime streaming data. The result is imagery so deep in the uncanny valley that it’s cool. This behind the scenes gives a great overview of the technical and creative issues involved. I love the image of Lidar scanner on a dolly. The only problem, “Ready, and, SCAN!” just doesn’t have the right ring to it.

Its really interesting and thanks for the link. Who knows this could be the future of 3D film making.

Check out our LiDAR technology. Our scans have the visual quality of a digital photograph, an XYZ coordinate and a real world position. The data is fused together on each pixel - not draped, or overlayed. We call it Life Dimensional/3D - LD3.
