01 Sep Lightpainting
Fall 2008
Max/MSP/Jitter
I’ve always been interested in using extended exposure photography, but I was always frustrated with the lack of real time feedback and the fact that it took so long to make a single frame. I wanted to develop a way to achieve something like the lightpainting effect seen in stop motion commercials and things like that, but make it more live and interactive. It also isn’t limited to being used in a totally dark room, and could be used in more normal lighting situations.
The code for the example and more detail on the process is available here.
