What about it?
- tfs__mag0
i can't view it.. keeps trying to install shockwave even though i've already downloaded and installed it.

What is that stuff they spray? And how does it stay in position long enough for the person to make an entire design, THEN do the shot?
- idsgn0
can you not duplicate this effect with a light source and long exposure time?

click on the graffiti links below
that is what he is wondering about.
- lowimpakt0
it reminds me of that technique chris cunningham used for those orange ads. still not an answer though.
- ldww0
its prolly just a flashlight or something that was made to look like a spray paint can and then cameras set up with long exposure in a circle matrix style
- fate0
ldww, that's the /somewhat/ logical answer except for one thing: The people in the shots don't blur.
- idsgn0
the people in the shots dont blur, because the shots are done in darkness with an open exposure, then a single flash is shot off which freezes the person in the frame
if that makes sense
- fate0
eeeeenteresting, idsgn.

ive done a similar effect before, at night using a tripod. i had my camera on open exposure and got someone to draw a shape with a sparkler. then shot the flash.
i imagine they are doing something similar but have bullet-time cameras set up all matrix style like was suggested above
- fate0
right, you can kind of see the rail. Makes me want to get a proper camera
- idsgn0
it makes me want to get a whole load of cameras so i can matrix-ify myself doing ninja kicks.

what idsgn said.
Common, even derek can do it.

love that site, been around for a while, cool effect tho
seen that newish Red Hot Chilli Peppers Vid with the similar style effect on it? see if i can find it
like Flea has light wings surrounding him.
- angry_droid0
did i stoleded this? if so i am sorryed but i just thought it was cool
- fate0
Damn, that RHCP video is fucking awesome. Not sure I quite grasp how something like that is done.
- blackspade0
its cool as fuk huh
i cant get the thing to play thru WMP on my mac some reason? but i know its the one im thinking off
love the wings they put around flea :)

The person doesn't blur because the flashes are synched with the exposures. But i have no idea how they made that crazy RHCP clip, some kind of wacky motion control maybe, i dunno.
