it is easy to produce a video this way, but it takes a long time to do it!
every picture takes 30 sec. we work with a frame rate between 6-8 pictures a sec. thats it.

This light painting is very cool. I would definitely be interested to learn more about the technique of how these artists are creating these works.

As the first comment mentions these videos appears to be a compilation of both long exposure and video. I would be very interested in watching some kind of workflow / technique video.

Hmmm- I’m not sure what’s going on in those videos, but I fail to see how that can be accomplished in-camera. I don’t see how “time lapse” is relevant either?

There are clearly multiple frames being taken in a time-lapsed form, but that doesn’t negate the fact that all movement of a light source has to be done in a single exposure. So, in an assembled video, you will see movement of light, but not absolute persistance.

The only way I can think to do this is with 2 cameras right next to each other- one shooting in a time lapse fashion, the other shooting long-exposure. Then, you artificially stack all the long-exposure frames in an additive fashion and play it back along side the time-lapse?

Or maybe I just don’t get it :)
