You might be saying did I read that title right? Animated 3D Light Painting?!?! Well yes indeed you did, Light Painting animation just took a giant leap forward thanks to the creative geniuses at Film Spektakel It called HoloPainting and here is how it works:
“Holopainting is a combination of the Light Painting, Stop Motion and Hyperlapse technique to create three dimensional light paintings. We didn’t want to use computer generated images, so we built a giant 3D scanner out of 24 Raspberry Pis with their webcams. These cameras took photos from 24 different perspectives of the person in the middle with a delay of 83 milliseconds, so the movement of the person also was recorded. After that we spent endless hours cutting out each photo, so we would have the person on a black solid as background. We then made a hyperlapse around a light painting artist who painted each of the photos we took before according to the current position of the camera. As a result the hyperlapse circulates around a three dimensional light painting. We felt like painting a hologram, so we called it a Holopainting.”
The results are pretty amazing and I can’t wait to see where this goes… Check out the video and links below to find more about Film Spektakel.
