Echo Lake - Young Silence from Dan Nixon on Vimeo.
So I got a KINECT last weekend, you know, the Xbox 360 jobber-do that lets Microsoft spy on you while you dance in your underwear playing Dance Central. I'm not going to lie, the KINECT is ten kinds of Awesome. But apparently you can do more with it than realize your fantasy of being a back up dancer for the Young MC, you can actually shoot a music video with it as well as Echo Lake did for their song "Young Silence." Reported to be the first video shot using a KINECT, creator Daniel Nixon says:
“As far as I know (and I’m scared of checking) this is the first music video to be made with the Microsoft Kinect camera. The footage was shot on that piece of £130 equipment and recorded to custom software running on a laptop. The depth data was then manipulated to get the whole band in one ’space’ and then the fun started.
Or alternatively: hi-tech D.I.Y.”
