Animated Long Exposure Lightpaintings

Animated Long Exposure Photographs

A group of Japanese artists have put together an interesting new twist on light painting. The traditional way of doing it involves taking a single long exposure photograph and writing or drawing (backwards, of course) what you want the camera to see painted.

These guys took it one step forward and did a series of long exposure photographs, drawing what they wanted and then animating all the frames together. What I find most interesting is watching the animators move along, blurred out behind the brightness of their creations.

A number of examples can be seen on their site, located at PIKAPIKA.
