If nothing else, it will help inspire people to get into photography as it never ceases to blow people’s minds! People always ask what are we doing and when people see the art we’re creating they’re like “holy s***”.Īnd speaking of people asking what are we doing, when we started the video we got questioned by a police officer then detained by a secret service officer as what we were doing looked very unusual.

It also takes a patient person and someone who can follow simple directions – lol. I probably use it only a handful of times throughout the year as it’s tricky to use – in terms of having a steady handed person moving the Pixelstick. If you love shooting at night as much as I do the Pixelstick is a cool toy to have in your bag of tricks. According to the bike share app – Justin and I covered 80 miles! Earlier in the day we rented bikes and looked for the perfect spots. It also helps to scout out locations beforehand so you’re more efficient with your time. It also helps to have a flat surface as if it’s uneven the image will be wobbly because the person walking with the Pixelstick will have a hard time walking straight. When the auto-complete results are available, use the up and down arrows to review and Enter to select. Ideally you want it to be dark behind the image, if not it’ll get lost with the brightness (as in the Street Fighter image in the video). Abstract art in thin air Showcasing both the vivid, detail-rich capabilities of pixelstick as well as the concept of capturing a unique moment that can never be repeated. When your parter is ready and says go – use a remote to trigger the camera.

Pre focus and then set the camera to manual focus.

Put something on the floor so the person holding the Pixelstick can start at the same spot every time.

Chose a low iso and as for the aperture decide how bright or dark you want the image to be and adjust accordingly. So if an image is 6 seconds, I’ll use an 8 second shutter speed. Set a shutter speed and add a few seconds.Do a countdown as to how long the image takes to play.Sharing is caring.The cool thing about the Pixelstick is that you can load any image you want! As for the process: If you enjoyed this post, don’t be selfish, share it with your friends via Facebook or Twitter. Click here if you want to visit their Kickstarter page. Since a photo is worth one thousand words, take a look at the following images to better understand which kind of results you can achieve with Pixelstick.īitbanger labs has already reached their 100,000 $ goal on Kickstarter, but if you wish to fund the project you still have time until December 13. While the long exposure goes on, you just have to move the stick in the wanted directions in order to create the image. What does it mean? It means that you can virtually light paint any shape or picture possible, you just have to convert it in a 198 px height file. Each LED corresponds to a single pixel in the image.

Pixelstick’s brain, a small mounted box, reads images from an SD card and displays them, one line at a time.

Pixelstick consists of 198 full color RGB LEDs inside a lightweight aluminum housing, made of two 3 ft long (91 cm) sections. It’s almost impossible to light paint complex shapes right now, due to the endemic limitations of the technique itself. Light painting is a photography technique where a photographer paints something with a light source during a long exposure photo. Duncan Frazier and Steve McGuigan of Bitbanger Labs engineered it during the past months and came up with a working prototype that they are trying to mass-produce with the funds of this Kickstarter campaign. The product we are talking about is called Pixelstick, a formidable tool for all the light painting lovers. We feel like we are in front of a small revolution with the tool we are going to talk about in this post, as nothing like that has never seen the light before. It can happen in every kind of niche, it happened in mobile phones industry, in computers industry, in automotive industry and probably in every kind of market ever existed. Every now and then a revolutionary product steps into the market and changes everything.
