RADIOHEAD VIDEO FOR HOUSE OF CARDS

There's a new video for Radiohead's "House of Cards." Here's why it's supposed to be a big deal:
No cameras or lights were used. Instead 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.


A better version is available here.

And you know... I just don't know. I can't say I love it. Not sure it fits with the song. I do like the landscapes, but who's the chick? Why is she there?

I'm probably whining because I've been spoiled. There will never be a Radiohead video as good as this one (wait for it... there's like a minute of static):
