More often than not, light painting is used to bring an exciting element into still images, but rarely is it used as a form of motion itself.
This was an experiment in 'practical' visual effects. No computer magic was used in the creation of these, except to assemble the GIFs. I'd love to experiment with a longer piece in the future!
Thanks to Stephen Bevins, Saam Pahlavan & Steven Nadler for going along with my crazy ideas. You guys rock. :)
