@mrchuwy remember it takes 25(PAL) to 30(NTSC) frames/ pictures per second of video, so you need a lot of 'em. good luck!

first you need a tripod to make sure the camera is stable. To get the streaky lights you need long exposure times which will result in blurry images if the camera moves. I used 2-3 seconds of exposure per frame. Set the camera to manual (M) set the focus to manual on the lens(you don't want the camera to auto focus every picture when light changes etc.). I used 320 iso on f8-11. play around with these settings making single pictures untill it looks exactly how you want it.
