IGNITE
This stop motion film was made with hundreds of long exposure photographs at night with LED lights (PixelStick). By using Photoshop, Lightroom and After Effects I was able to developed the final piece as desired.
The challenge was to find the right spot to set up at night and being super aware of the sorroundings. Sometimes the lights attracted drunk weird people walking at night. You just need to feel safe to be able to work well, specially in this case that most of the times (just one friend was helping me) and I had to run far away and start dancing around with the lights. So I left my camera and tripod must of the times far away from my eye view. With the use of a flashlight my friend was able to tell me when the camera was taking a new photograph.
At the moment of editing everything I had to kill so many scenes that I thought were great but just didn't fit the aesthetics.
I'm happy with the result and I hope you enjoy it too.
