Good grief check out this amazing work of video light painting ART by the mastermind Hugo Baptista!
600 photos and 4800 camera rotations of Beatrixkwartier, The Hague played at 8 fps.
All photos are as they came from camera without any manipulations in post-production.
To achieve the kaleidoscopic effect I pointed the camera up and rotated it 8 times on a tripod with L bracket to keep lens rotating on its own axis, while shutter was open. During rotations I covered the lens. I repeated the process at 1 meter intervals.
The first photo was taken on 27 February, 2014 and last one on 17 April, 2014..A lot of effort and back-pain went into making this and I’m very proud of the result even though original target of 800 frames was not met. I could finish up the last 200 but I prefer to make part II with another 600 frames on another location.
Been approached by the police 4 times, also a few curious people. Some found it cool some told me to not photograph their building for security reasons. Crazy huh? I mean, if I was shooting their building…. sorry for that…
Kudos for Rutger Verberkmoes for making another beautiful sound atmosphere that really brings Accent into this video.
