An awesome short film done by young asian film maker, Freddie Wong. This short film lasts just over a minute but demonstrates the use of lights with camera’s performing long exposures. In it Freddie depicts a street gunfight of epic proportions using nothing but clever camera tricks and many LED lights.
Click the jump for the superb demo of light warfare.
Freddie gives a short tutorial and a behind the scenes video demonstrating how you could make your own “Light Painting”.
“The idea behind light painting is that if you open the shutter, you can draw lines by moving the flashlight around in front of the lens. So hold the shutter open, get in front, and try drawing something in the air. If you have a camera flash, you can have someone stand in place, and flash them. Then have them hold still and draw around them. Experiment!”
