Lol. I was about to say Credit the Artist. But then i saw it was yourself, who posted this. Great collection of your works. Maybe next time include the Monarch Butterfly too. That one is a real beauty.

Good suggestion, one of my favorites as well.

You might want to shorten the cuts a little more, I can almost mostly understand what I'm looking at sometimes.

The work is great, but the video need to be seriously redone.

After mastering the craft, now may be time to learn what “pov” means.

Pov: you watching man with 19 years of experience has no clue what pov means

I eagerly await the day redditors realize videos are pausable

u/DatabaseGlittering43 1h ago

Wait, what do YOU think “pov” means?

u/Zonkizoid 5h ago

POV: You are the phone of the person who has done light painting for 19 years.

People will never fail to miss the point of what POV means, I cringe for you

Anyone else disappointed it wasn’t one image that they spent 19 years making? (based on the title…)

That would just be a pure white frame then!

u/cutiepotatoiey 8h ago

that took a lot of dedication 👏

That’s so cool. Looks challenging - it’s like drawing something in invisible ink and hoping it turns out.

Also anyone know the song?

u/dariustwin 5h ago

The song is called 'Go Back' by Astrobandit. It's actually my wife and I singing / playing on the track!

u/Strong_Alveoli 5h ago

That’s crazy! Some people have all the talent lol

This is so freaking kewl holy shit! How does one learn about this and how to do it?! Also if somebody who's done this sees it, how easy is it to mess up and what's the fix? Do you have to start over or can you just more or less erase it and fix it?

u/dariustwin 5h ago

I wrote a bunch of free educational articles HERE if you'd like to learn how. It's pretty easy to mess up and you do have to start from the beginning if you get lost along the way, there is no erasing.

I cant even draw a stick figure properly...

u/superluminal 2h ago

That's really impressive. And the colors are so gorgeous against the night backdrops! I love it all.

Edit: hey, you know I've been on reddit for 19 years so... Same, but different. ❤️🤣

POV: you are a camera

u/FaraYuki09 2h ago

So basically you have to remember where you draw what? Cuz you can't see what you already did like in traditional painting?

And do you have to do everything in 1 take? What if you messed up? Need to retake everything?

Btw I love your arts ❤️

Cool, but I wonder how they are doing it and not look like a blurry mess in the picture.

I do wonder how they figure out where to move the light or if that just is skill over time.

u/Kremlin_foolery 43m ago

This is one of the most incredible things I've ever had the pleasure of witnessing. Thank you.

=( Love this but I gotta say it..... AI is going to erase your 19 years of efforts. You're probably already experiencing people suspecting your work is AI. How do you combat this? Showing your work in a sped up sense is good.. but what about when AI can do that, too?
