Richard Benjumea Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I'm pretty familiar with how still photography Light Graffiti is made, yet to animate it and make a video like the one on the link is still out of my grasp. Can someone tell me how to animate light drawings like in the video, i know its probably time lapse, but is it done on a video camera, or still, or is it as simple as editing the pics together and making it into a slideshow???

I would do it with a DSLR. You can then import the frames into quicktime as an image sequence and output a quicktime movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Collier Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Making of video for sprints commercial (similar technique) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfefTRDY4sc Also I think AC mag has an article a few months back that had a write up on that music video, though I don't have my collection handy to tell you what month. I remember seeing the commercial the first time and getting really excited, and hoping (without believing) that it was shot practicle. I think as I recall they used a D20 DSLR or something like that on a long exposure-setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Chris Keth Posted September 20, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted September 20, 2007 (edited) I think as I recall they used a D20 DSLR or something like that on a long exposure-setting. That's exactly how I did my short. I mounted it in my car and drove from daylight into the night with it on an aperture priority auto exposure. The results are like time lapse of a drive that morphs into complete abstraction as the exposures got longer and longer (up to a minute or so) and only smeary light sources were recorded. The beauty is that the frames, even on the lowest JPG setting, had to be downrezzed to get 1080P. Edited September 20, 2007 by Chris Keth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
