1. Light-Paint Piano Player
by Ryan Cashman
1 year ago
Animated light paintings of a little piano player performing. Filmed at night with the lovely I-5 and San Diego skyline in the background. I would like to thank everyone for the fantastic feedback I have received lately. To answer a few questions, I wrote the music and recorded it first. The frames were photographed with a Canon Rebel using 20-30 second exposure time. I used a small green LED keychain light to draw each frame. Once all the positions were photographed they were strung together and synchronized to the music in After Effects.

Featured in Shutterbug magazine web profiles March 2009!

    AHHAHAH!!!...lovely!!!...how fast do you have to film this in order to "hide" yourself from the camera?. Nice technique buddy! :D
  • Ryan Cashman 1 year ago
    Thanks! They were all shot at 20 second exposure time. The drawing took about 10 seconds to do each time, then I'd step out of the way and let myself disappear.

    Very cool! How did you go about keeping the previous frame position strait after stepping away each time, I imagine it’s either some great eye-balling or did you use the keyboard keys as your reference point?

  • Tim Barrett 1 year ago
    This is amazing. Inspiring. I would love to hear or see how you did it - how did you get it to sync to the music? how did you match the shape each frame, because I presume you drew each one with a light each time? Great job.

    Vraiment réussi !!
    La musique suit le mouvement (ou l'inverse)
    le final est top avec cette ligne blanche
    Comment tu fais?
    Really succeeded!!
    The music follows the movement (or the reverse) the final one is great with yhe white line.
    How do you do this?
