Kinect Hack Used To Make Colorful Music Video


The band Echo Lake plays music that sounds like dreamy indie rock with their combination of up-tempo, feel good and aural noise. Their latest music video isn’t too far off from that same descriptor. But, you’d be surprised to learn that this video wasn’t shot with normal video cameras. Nope, it was shot with an XBox Kinect. Sort of a modern day Money for Nothing.

Their song, Young Silence, and music video in one way or another is a blend of digital noise. The creators used custom Cinder-based apps to get the footage just right and the quality isn’t too bad either. Similar to the Sandman in the latest Spiderman movie, and their video only took seven weeks of work. I have friends that could have done it in only four.
