I made this video experiment last week: • Video Light Painting #...
and I have received a lot of questions, so I figured I’ll make a quick tutorial
and explain: how to do your own video light painting?
You can use any flash light or a more sophisticated device like the pixelstick to achieve the effect.
It's not regular long exposure photo light painting. It is a simple post-processing video effect that you can achieve in a few minutes with the software and project files below:
- Download Touchdesigner software Free version
derivative.ca/...
(very versatile video software, but the patch is super simple for this example ;) - you pretty much just need to replace the source video with your own and export the output)
- Project file and video example (you'll be able to replace with your own video)
drive.google.c...
Step by step:
- Set up in a dimmed light environment (doesn't work with bright daylight)
- Shoot a video (fixed camera) of you waving light around
- Bring the video to the software to apply effect
- Tracing of brightest pixels
- Masking of some regions
- Flicker + Glow + Reflections
- Slight Post-prod fake camera movement
- Record the output video

it's a fun tool, but to be honest I didn't use it much since I bought it. Might be worth checking if one of your friends has one. If you're in Montreal, DM me, I can lend it to you for a few days.
Let me know below if you have any questions !
Hope that helps :)
