Radiohead Music Video
Radiohead’s music video of its song “House of Cards” was shot entirely without the use of cameras or lights. Instead, two different types of laser imaging techniques were used to produce some pretty mesmerizing images.

From Google code:
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. In this video, 64 lasers rotating and shooting in a 360 degree radius 900 times per minute produced all the exterior scenes.

You Tube Goes Rick Roll Mad
The Rick Roll monster keeps getting bigger thanks to YouTube’s April Fool’s contribution, where every featured video on their home page today leads to… you guessed it, a funny looking bloke wearing Ray Ban’s and trying hard to swing his arms while lip syncing to the music. Will this finally propel Rick Astley’s cheese fest to the top spot on YouTube’s most viewed clip? Only time will tell.
