Light Painting with 24 cameras in a circle. 24x360

Hooking up with Timecode Lab and Eric Pare here in Montreal, I had the chance to experiment with the 360 degree Bullet Time light painting rig. The setup is basically analog. 24 cameras on a ring pointing towards the center and exposing every direction at the same time. So, you get a picture from 24 different angles. We cumulate all these pictures in a timeline to create a clip. The Matrix film used the same technique called bullet time. Doing it in the dark with light painting is quite challenging. First, we have to work in total 100% darkness with the hand held torches and light tools waiting on the floor next to me. The model is standing still in the center. Then, when I light paint, I have to consider that cameras are all around me so how to light paint without creating a shadow of myself on the model since there is always a camera behind my back. It's a new way of working and thinking... More like gymnastic, synchronicity and a bit of luck.

The music was created by Cayce is Music.
