3D Music Video Made Entirely of Data

The music video is "House of Cards", by Radiohead. The video was created without any photo or video cameras. Everything you see is points plotted by a computer, very much in the same way math students plot points on a graph. The coodinates of the points were made with special equipment that uses light or lasers to measure distances of objects or people from the device. The measurements are sent to a computer that organizes all the points.

Here's the music video:


Here's the video where they describe how it was made:
