Check out this MAJOR Mainstream light painting! A few months back I was talking with the film production unit from SNL about light painting and the different ways to incorporate it into their opening montage. They decided to use a Pixelstick and a stop motion technique. “We shot that same frame over and over until we had about 40 frames. Technically we needed 240 frames for a 10-second shot but with a few dozen frames, we could sequence a timelapse shot by randomly repeating frames without it being noticeable. The result is a shot that combines the look of a graphic with a handmade, stop-motion quality — another really fun in-camera trick.” The results by light painting standards are pretty basic but I think this is a great example of how light painting is growing and how it can be used commercially.
P.S. I had nothing to do with the shoot itself I just offered up some pre-production advice.
