Light painting

Been researching into light painting today as my posters now include neon drawings. The first known photographer to use this was Man Ray in a series called Space Writing. It was only a couple of years ago that a photographer discovered Ray's signature was hidden in one of his doodles - nearly  74 years later.

I've also found a light painting videod that won the Best Animated Music Video in 2010 at the St Kilda Film Festival, and was shortlisted for YouTube Play 2010 which is where I first saw it as there were some really good videos for that.


It's called Lucky, by All India Radio and was animated by Australian company OH YEAH WOW. The team painted the air with glow-sticks to create each frame for entire sequences. It is so so good you can watch it here.
