Light as an intangible but ubiquitous material performs many arts. The video shows incredible lighting art. I was shocked by this material, so I decided to make a video based on this.

Method:

We are going to a park to shoot a series of lighting works in the evening, and then edit it into a short film. This project requires a camera and a flashlight. We use cellophane papers as materials for different colours. We created the basic storyboard for each piece of animation. Then after a discussion, we decided to confirm the location as Carlton Garden.

Response and Reflection:

The night at Carlton Gardens was cold, but everyone insisted on taking every shot. From the results, the effect is brilliant. Due to the time limit of shooting, the frame rate of each animation has to be very low. This makes the animation not very smooth. But the animation still looks good. As a combination of play and art, light painting is valuable for exploration. If I combine this art form with interaction, it will produce better results. At the same time, as an animated form, it provides another possibility for animation. If I use a light painting method to create a 10-minute animation, the effect will be very shocking.
