Piano-mation drawn in LED

Ryan Cashman describes Light-Paint Piano Player - Animated light paintings of a little piano player performing. Filmed at night with the lovely I-5 and San Diego skyline in the background. I would like to thank everyone for the fantastic feedback I have received lately. To answer a few questions, I wrote the music and recorded it first. The frames were photographed with a Canon Rebel using 20-30 second exposure time. I used a small green LED keychain light to draw each frame. Once all the positions were photographed they were strung together and synchronized to the ...
LED Piano Player Will Light Up Your Day
Wired: Gadget Lab —
The Canon Rebel DSLR isn't a video camera, but if you have the time and energy like San Diego resident Ryan Cashman, you can make a pretty neat stop-motion animation with it.
Cashman explains he set the Rebel's exposure to 20-30 seconds, and he drew the LED piano player with a green LED keychain. He then strung all the photos together in Adobe After Effects and added in the music (also his original composition). Pretty neat. Kind of looks like a little cactus. I wonder how long it took him?

Emerald LED laser blob plays the piano
Boing Boing Gadgets —
This emerald LED piano player bouncing between ivory chords while overlooking the sliding, pre-dawn backside of a San Franciscan hill was created by Ryan Cashman with a Canon Rebel DSLR using a 30 second exposure time and a small keychain light. I've love it: it takes a lot of skill to make a laser cartoon look so gosh darn pleased with himself when you've only got half a minute to sketch out each frame, like attending some anthropomorphic laser blob's first piano recital. I would like to see more of this savant's incredible twilight performances... some Adaggio in G ...
Stop-Frame Animator Makes Amazing DSLR Movie The Old-Fashioned Way [Dslr Movie]
Gizmodo —
Made by Ryan Cashman, this movie shows you that with a chunk of ingenuity and a huge bucket-load of patience you can make movies with any old DSLR. Ryan's clip of an LED pianist was made with nothing more sophisticated than a green keychain LED and a Canon digital Rebel. He took a sequence of 20-30 second exposures, and strung them together later into an animated movie with original music. HD-video DSLRs? Pah... this is real art. [Vimeo via Wired]
