Light Drive
1 year ago
Stop motion form and colour, using light painting techniques.
Lighting: Kim Pimmel
Sound: Tron Legacy trailers
I've been interested in taking my Light Study photo series and evolving them into motion pieces. I shot a lot of footage for a VJ gig for FITC San Francisco. So I edited together those stop motion sequences, mashed up some audio from the Tron Legacy trailers, and out came Light Drive.
The video is stop motion, so every frame is an individually shot photograph. Each photograph is a long exposure photo, with exposures reaching up to 20 seconds in some cases.
To control the lights, I used an Arduino controlled via bluetooth to drive a stepper motor. The stepper motor controls the movements of the lights remotely from Processing.
The light sources include cold cathode case lights, EL wire, lasers and more.

I didn't catch up the technique, this are photos transformed into video ??? or..?? :S Sorry the ignorance :(
Adding explanatin to the vid description
Lovely
So out of the blue.
So refreshing.
As many thumbs up as can be.
turned out very well.
:)
Makes me really want to get into arduino and of/processing!
so were all images taken from your arduino/deck setup or were they taken as source images for post proudction animation? or both?!
thanks,
everythingvisual.net/?p=2360
we postet this in our blog on dexflu.eu/blog
keep it up!
Very well done.
It's also nice to read about your planning, process of creation.
Thank-you for sharing :D

Additionally, this video basically describes why I'm interested in Arduino.
