@josh haha, actually I've never seen that video. I've just had one of those things since high school. I always thought there was something really creepy about them. Reznor has some crazy video filters. He basically has a live version of that for his show, only instead of pins it's a series of transparent led curtains and he's carrying around a video camera. Or maybe it's prerendered...and he's video-syncing
anyway I have been playing with this pin screen for a while and want to figure out a way of animating it, maybe by rendering a depth map of the subject and then converting the gradient value to pin location.
