Okay, so not really.  They used lasers!  Friggin’ lasers.

Radiohead and a handful of geeks used several laser technologies to film their lastest video for “House of Cards“.  And they did it all without video or film of any kind.

Really interesting behind the scenes of the process at the link.  And the video too, of course.
