Video: The making of “The power of x”

Watch “The power of x” — the astonishing, shot-in-one-take opening film for TEDxSummit — and then see how it was made.

This film and photographic experiment set out to prove The Power of X by attempting an Ideas Worth Doing for TEDxSUMMIT.

The project fused architecture, dance, math and magic into a bespoke18-meter high triangular mirrored structure to create the world’s first Human Arabesque without computer graphics.
