As you know, we’re pretty into Tron, what with all the lights and the lasers and the…well, you get the picture. We’re also huge Daft Punk fans, so when the news leaked a while back that Daft Punk would be doing the soundtrack for the next Tron movie we freaked. Well, apparently they are going [...]
Hey Everyone, Its been a long time, sorry guys! We’ve been out on vacay for a week, but we haven’t been idle. Great things on their way, but for now…feast your eyes. Its no secret that we’re big Tron fans, and this video has been circulating around the interwebs (albeit in really poor quality) for [...]
Who has seen Tron? The influence that movie has on lightpainting is obvious. The backgrounds, and the lightbikes, and the amazing amazing amazing costume design is called to mind whenever Michelle and I, or any lightpainters for that matter, are doing what we do. As a film though, what a strange yet fitting movie for [...]
Hey Guys, This is pretty cool. An art student name Amir chose to use one of our shots as the inspiration as his final piece. Here is the original shot, from our Valentine’s Day series: And here is his final art project. He did a great job! And of course we are flattered that anyone [...]

LightBomber lets you create light paintings with your iPhone camera
I’ve loved creating light paintings with cameras ever since I was a 15-year-old with a Konica T4. My friend Scott and I would light sparklers and leave the shutter open on my Konica to produce these wonderful-looking images. I can still remember the thrill of seeing those photos, with their ethereal light trails, coming back from the photo lab. We’d use flashlights of various types, lamps, fireworks — just about anything to paint with light.
But with the iPhone? It’s not so easy. But now there’s LightBomber, an app that’s devoted to creating light trails and light graffiti. I’m just starting to experiment with it, but it is very, very cool, and I’m looking forward to seeing what iPhoneographers do with it.
