One of our favorite current bands, Broken Social Scene, is doing a show at Terminal 5 in NYC tonight and you can watch it live on youtube.

The band’s video for the track Forced To Love off their most recent album, Forgiveness Rock Record, was co-directed by none other than our good friend and soon-to-be Skylark Director of Photography, Alan Poon. The video employs cutting edge 3D rendering and looks like nothing you’ve seen before.

From Arts & Crafts’s video description:

“It’s an experimental 3D scanning technology that detects the displacement of a grid pattern of any object in front of it,” Poon explains. “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.”

Check it out here:

And here’s a little behind the scenes clip starring Alan, his collaborator on the project, Adam Makarenko, and the band.
