Even video light painting…

On one hand I can’t believe it, and on the other I am completely unsurprised – it is now officially possible to largely automate the complexity of lightpainting in video.

For me, much of the “wow” factor of light painted videos is the knowledge that the poor suckers amazing artists actually produced 24 frames per second to deliver the final results (usually only a couple of minutes long). It was hard, painstaking work, and the results were hit and miss a lot of the time but you had to be impressed with the effort.

Now, you film the bit you want (using a specific technique that’s pretty easy), and the computer does the rest for you. How easy and sad…
