Light Painting

The "Light Painting" spot produced for Gulf Power by Secret Legion Productions, utilised cutting edge "Light Painting" techniques popularised by Japanese animators on YouTube.

Working through Luckie & Co. advertising agency, Secret Legion innovatively adapted the process for the TV spot, using light to symbolise electricity, showing Gulf Power's consumers how cost effective electrical power is.

The two-day time intensive and tedious process featured five animation artists painting in stop motion, on single, long exposures, creating a live cel animation. As the process continued, files were continually brought into Final Cut, and edited on set. The whole process went off without a hitch.

It's good to finally see someone actually making a point with this technique, rather than doing pointless random drawings. Thank you.

For the words, how do you make them so perfect, like there are different images for different colors of the same words, but how do you know where to draw them exactly where you did previously? D:
