'Heroes of She' 3D Music Video

Upcoming band 'Heroes of She' have used a Minoru 3D Webcam to record what they believe to be the first 3D band video on YouTube. Have a look and listen using the player above. I'm sure you will agree that it's a great use for Minoru.

Heroes of She's Hammond organ player, James Mackie:
“Making the video was timely, especially with all the publicity surrounding the upcoming release of James Cameron’s 3D blockbuster ‘Avatar’. People are saying that Hollywood studio executives are now considering mothballing their conventional productions to chase after the illusion of depth you get with 3D.”
The 3D format also chimes with the Lancaster-based band’s retro, pre-Space Age, Hammer House of Horror image. The previous ‘golden age’ of 3D cinema, in the 1950s, saw the release of films such as House of Wax, starring Vincent Price, Inferno and Robot Monster.

Singer Helen Longworth, who with Amy Worth, is one of the band’s two vocalists, said:
“We wanted to capture the massive energy of our live performances. The illusion that 3D creates of us coming straight out of the screen is a great way to do this. Amy and I were really singing during the filming as well - often in music videos the true energy of a vocal performance is ignored in favour of looking airbrushed and posed. We treated the shoot as if it was a live gig.”
