Check out this incredible Light Painting Photography Animation created by Jinchao Wu! This is a great example of when light painting and a little bit of post production come together to create something extraordinary. Inspired by the work of Lichtfaktor Jinchao shot over 10,000 individual light paintings to create this 2 minute stop motion! He used After Effects to sync up each of the 10,000 frames to the music and to animate a few sequences. This light painting film took nearly 2 months to create and all the light painting was created in camera. Check it out below and for more of Jinchao’s light painting work check out his Vimeo page HERE.

Light Painting Photographer Eric Pare has created another awesome 360° Light Painting Animation called “One Step Ahead”. This animation was created at Eric’s studio in Montréal using his custom built 32 camera 360° bullet-time rig! Shooting in RAW nearly 4TB of data was generated to create this video sequence. Check it out below!

This is pretty interesting, The Treble’s new music video for their song “Wherever You Go” was created using a pixel stick. The idea of creating a light painting stop motion using the pixel stick is not a new concept however the way that The Treble did it is pretty unique and true to the spirt of the Light Painting Art Form.

The video features the “Wherever You Go” lyrics light painted into over 2,500 photographs from artists around the world. The light paintings were then stitched together into a stop motion animation for the final video. Check it out, a full list of artist credits can be found below.
