Kanye West — Good Morning
Tuesday, August 26th, 2008
Geez, Kanye seems to have his music video cannon set to rapid fire. After releasing his Olympic-themed video just two weeks ago, he’s out with a new clip for Good Morning, which is a sweet little anime video featuring furry creatures and a hover Delorian. Good times.

Dntel — Rock My Boat
Saturday, August 9th, 2008
I stumbled upon this video by Dntel (AKA Jimmy Tamborello from The Postal Service) on YouTube, and it’s worth a watch. The song, “Rock My Boat,” is just lovely, featuring vocals by Mia Doi Todd, and the video incorporates some arrestingly homespun animation.
The song can be found on Dntel’s 2007 Sub Pop release, Dumb Luck.

Radiohead — House of Cards
Friday, August 8th, 2008
This Radiohead video has been making the rounds on the intertubes for a few weeks now, but the methods used to create it are so crazy that it deserves a little extra attention. Not content to use anything as conventional as, I don’t know, cameras or lighting, Radiohead’s team used the following methods to produce this Tron-meets-Apple-IIE-and-executive-pin-art video:
“…Two technologies were used to capture 3D images: Geometric Informatics and Velodyne LIDAR. Geometric Informatics scanning systems produce structured light to capture 3D images at close proximity, while a Velodyne Lidar system that uses multiple lasers is used to capture large environments such as landscapes. In this video, 64 lasers rotating and shooting in a 360 degree radius 900 times per minute produced all the exterior scenes.”
Confused? Me too, a little bit. Check out the making-of video on Google to shed some more light on the process, and while you’re there, download Radiohead’s visualization data and create your own video.
