The film turned out way more personal than I expected it to be, I was really debating on if was something that I wanted to share with the world but in the words of my mentor Dean Chamberlain, “Its The Real Deal”. Hope everyone enjoys it.

Light Painter Jason D. Page shines light into the darkness to find beauty where many would find unease. This 7 minute documentary explains what light painting is, how Jason discovered light painting, and why light painting is so significant in his life.

This is one of the most cohesive live light painting performances I have seen in a while… It was created by LightizOn a 2nd year university student projected directed by “Honigstein Samuel”.

After seeing Lichfaktor’s live light painting videos, Samuel was inspired and wanted to reproduce a similar installation to work with dancers, light painters, in spectaculars ways. Samnuel’s mission is “to expand the light painting culture all over the world, and to be recognized by the light painting community”.

The LightizOn project is “a digital real time installation wich reproduces the long photographic exposure in video, real time. This installation represent a year of efforts, communication, video, and programmation. We worked in very special parisian place like : The city of fashion and design, or ” La Machine du Moulin Rouge”. Also, we worked a lot with a french crew called : “Light Club” : vincent bruno, wen jié yang, myster hide.”

Eric Paré and Timecode Lab have created another radical 360º light painting photography project. Here is what Eric says about the project and how it came to be:

Timecode Lab hired me 18 months ago to build the 360 degree rig. We did a lot of corporate events for a year, and then I got really passionned about it, and I started doing studio stuff… mostly experimentations. We invited Patrick Rochon because he is the king, and he’s from Montreal too. That was a revelation for me. He his so intense in his work. He inspired me a lot.

We did the 24×360 project, Timecode Lab did that awesome video, got great international coverage…. and all that time, I had stop motion in mind. My early demos dates from october 2012 (will be presented in the bts to be released on may 29th)

I invited a couple of contemporary dancers, and we started LightSpin Project. In late february. Everything went really fast, we had to rush the project to release the video for today, the International Dance Day….

LightSpin is an experimental photography and art project that finds its source in a unique lightpainting technique. For this project, ten performers improvised contemporary dance movements at the center of a ring on which 24 cameras were mounted. Their brief dances were carried out in pitch darkness, light being aimed at the subjects as to reveal their shapes and movements, thus capturing their passage in a defined space. Pushing the exploration even further, the final result of this project becomes a fully animated, 360-degree representation of movements! Viewed and shared on the Web, the LightSpin project is launched as a world premiere in honor of the International Dance Day.

Red Bull and Snap Orlando have done it again but instead of Wake Boarding and Patrick Rochon this time it was the team of Light Painting Photographer Vicki DaSilva and Chris Santacroce combining forces to take light painting to the skies, check it out…

Rad new project from light painting photographer Patrick Rochon working with Red Bull Illume and SNAP Orlando, Check it out.

The lengths to which photographers and athletes go to nail a shot is often extreme — especially with sights on an entry into Red Bull Illume in mind.

Just a few miles down the road from the lights and magic of Disney World and Universal studios was the setting for this light-painting photo shoot at Orlando, Florida’s OWC Cable Park. Onsite were Red Bull wake riders Adam Errington, Dallas Friday and Mike Dowdy.

After the park closed to the public, photographer Patrick Rochon shot the Red Bull Riders as they attacked the sliders and kickers on boards tricked out with intricate LCD lighting. Play the video above for a behind-the-scenes look at the shoot, which took place over three nights in late March.

The shoot – which was done in conjunction with a local Red Bull-supported photography event called Snap! Orlando – included many challenges in preparation. It’s hard enough to shoot high-speed action in the dark – add in the tasks of outfitting the boards with the waterproof LCD light systems to staging the cameras, lighting and athletes in proper position to secure the shot, and you have yourself a serious photographic mission.

Some of the most inspired by the project were the athletes themselves. “It really is my movements painting this picture and helping this photo come to life!” says Errington, the 24-year-old wakeboarder at the top of his game.

For Rochon, the set-up and planning were extensive, but the motivation while shooting was simple: “Focus on the art, the creativity, and the beauty,” said Rochon, mid-shoot. Fortunately for him, he knew he could rely on the riders to offer performances worthy of the occasion. “I’m really impressed by the athletes,” he added. “They are so fluid in the water, and they understand naturally what we are trying to do here.”

ummmm, yeah……

Synchronous Dissections – Workshop from Kruysman-Proto on Vimeo.

This 5 day workshop couples synchronous robotics with advanced animation techniques, exploring new analytical and representational possibilities. The task was to use the SCI-Arc Robot House’s unique configuration to dynamically disassemble and re-assemble through methods of synchronous robotic movement.

The result was a series of suspended light drawings.
**Absolutely no video editing done to the drawings. Simply a series of still images…

Eye,Robot (Student Compilation) from Kruysman-Proto on Vimeo.

Compilation of student work from our Eye,Robot Seminar at SCI-Arc Fall 2012.

Course: Eye,Robot : Introduction to Robotics

“Eye, Robot” focuses on the intersection of computation, robotic fabrication, and cinematography. The course explores robotic motion control as a creative medium for designers, mainly through the use of the custom robotic animation software platform, designed specifically for the SCI-Arc Robot House. The platform has the unique ability for the designer not only to design motion, but also to program, simulate, and speculate all at the same time. This type of animation space suspends the distinction between simulation, speculation, and ‘the real’, making it very hard for one to determine which is which while questioning traditional notions of architectural representation.

Instructors: Brandon Kruysman, Jonathan Proto

Light painting photographer Rob Turney uses light, refraction, and long exposure light painting techniques to create some awesomely abstract and colorful works of art like these.

I contacted Rob and asked how the F#@!??? He said if I stopped cursing at him he would put together a tutorial to show the rest of us how…. a few weeks later and boom, we have this gift from Rob! A detailed tutorial how to create Refractographs just like Rob and Rob’s inspiration Mr. Alan Jaras. Thank you Mr. Turney you are awesome!

I rarely post my own projects up on the LPP site seeing that I am the admin for it and want to keep the site as legit and selfless as possible. This is a project that has been years in the making and we are entering the editing stages so I’m pretty excited about it and so I’m breaking my own rule. Hope you enjoy.
