Here’s a mind-bender: The video for Broken Social Scene’s “Forced to Love,” the work of Adam Makarenko and Alan Poon, uses “cutting-edge 3D rendering” to project the band in holographic fashion. Explains Poon: “It’s an experimental 3D scanning technology that detects the displacement of a grid pattern of any object in front of it. The data is then used to rebuild the object in three dimensions. Each band member’s performance was scanned using this technique and manipulated in the computer to create the effect you see in the final video.” Um, sure. Can we beam this into the live show?
