@Genixel there's actually a video editor out there called Kdenlive for linux that allows you to make this effect super easily. you should check it out :)
this can be easily done, even with a phone camera. the trick is removing all the dark parts of each frame and keeping the most bright parts (this can be easily done in aftereffects using extract keying) then blending frames over time(using time blend effect). then you will need to add it on top of the original video. and it will look exactly like this.
Afaik they are called cold cathodes. Car accessoirs, can be run with AA batteries. There is a blog post on diyphotography. net about these. I will eventually have to get some :)
They say this effect is done in-camera (i.e. programmed on hardware). So, closed source.
I've just written an effect for kdenlive (video editing program) which does the same. See here: kdenlive. org/users/granjow/writing-light-graffiti-effect
Not fake, it's a pretty common photographic technique. They use a very long shutter speed, meaning the camera sensor is collecting light for seconds, even minutes at a time before closing to complete one image. Because it's collecting bright lights you get that exposure. The video is likely created by overlaying pieces of the finished image into the video. The entire process is pretty easy really.
@terrellemail well actually, i dont know about this video but if you were to do it frameby frame, you get a camera, make the exposure longer, get a flashlight and draw in the direction on the camera lens (try not to get the light INTO the lens because it'll create a flare. it ruins it)
My friend and I are dabbling with light painting and we saw this vid. I was wondering how u get the movement of the light traced. In my experience the light is all exposed at one time and I'm unable to trace the movement of the light as it is painted.
My other question was how do you light paint when it is not very dark out? Do you just need very bright lights for a huge contrast or what?
I love how this video and other videos are fairly popular but no one is getting a responce on how to do this! LOL .... its like "Look what I can do! But not you! Buahahahahaaaa" ass
Its not though its not a bunch of pictures put together, If it was they would be blurry im not sure how this is done but it has to be a video camera because the can make smooth strokes without them blurring out i wanna know how they do it with video
@amarbir22 i think its just that low light emitting objects doesnt stick on sensor, i tried this trick using Canon T2i, and it works, no video editing is required.
Its real, get a SLR or a camera with really low shutter speed, 1min or less, than try doing this with a flashlight or something, it works, i tried it :)
No not exactly I tied this at home , with shutter speed of 10sec. And we did light paint, but it was a picture not a video, I dnt kno how they do it with videos !! but these are not effects !!!
Damn I only thought you could do this with a normal camera not a video one.
For all the people who do not know how to do this what you need is a camera where you can control the shutter speed and a light you can control. What you do is mount the camera so it does not move then delay theshutter as much as possible (this will help it absorb the light) Just draw what ever you want with the light and it will show up in the picture. just make sure you move quickley or else you will show and blur..
It is just stringing the various pictures together into a movie, like making an animated gif file. In addition you make the previous exposures "stick" - so that as the scenes progress, the previous exposures are not erased, rather all is added. Most graphics programs like Corel Draw, Paint Shop Pro, Adobe etc. allow you to combine photos. Thus the string of photos are added bit by bit. I've done it, but hard to explain perfectly. These guys use a special program I believe, however.
this guy is really good but i have been doing art drawing for a little while using just pictures but how do you capture this using video someone please help me!

The video response seems to be the same thing. Are there any examples in that or something? I'm a bit confused as to what you're trying to say.

How do they do this? I made one myself, but it isn't this advanced. It's like the one at the end saying "Kuga".
