Watch: Passion Pit Video Featuring Groundbreaking Camera Technology
Passion Pit, the Boston electro-pop outfit who drop their sophomore album Gossamer on July 24, released their first video from the record today with "Take a Walk." Watch above! In the clip, a ball bounces through the streets and skies of Philadelphia, even making its way up past a plane. The seamless visual journey is really amazing.
The technology reminds me a little of the classic bullet scenes in the first Matrix movie, but not quite on that order. The video was made with The Creator's Project, a partnership between Intel and Vice that promotes technology in art, and the camera technology used in Passion Pit's video is called, simply, the helicam.
