Let There Be Light!



Click the link in the title for an article from WIRED magazine.
Check out this concept - "colorful light graffiti comes to life without leaving behind any paint". This creative team has set out to revolutionize street graffiti and independent video. Sampled here, their shorts have given light to new concepts in stop motion and digital video.
What do you think of their creations? How do you think they produced these videos? What do you think went into the production process during filming and post? If you were to borrow this concept for your video what might you do? Can you find any related videos that utilize the same fundamental elements? Or add any articles that seem to be related to this discussion? OR give your review - are you impressed? Why/why not? Educational and professional critiques only please!

I think the article says they used a whole bunch of different things, including flashlights! I would definitely want to try to do something like this myself!

I think there creations r pretty neat. In the article it says they use stop motion and that is pretty neat. I think there creations r crazy and cool. They prob wave like a wand like thing really fast and take pictures and put the pics together. I might use this in some video like a fighting one to make effects. Sprint commerical use this element. That is what i think.

i think that the way that they use the light to make different figures and shapes and art with the light is really nice...
Plus they make videos while making and drawing the graffiti...
I would like to learn this one day..
