Here is a truly amazing concept - creating animated works using a series of long-exposure light painting stills. Basically you leave the shutter open on your camera long enough to draw a character of some kind with a small flashlight. Then you do this about 30 more times. When you're done, you have an animated image made of light.

The website is not instructional in nature (or maybe it is - who knows because its in Chinese), but the process is straightforward enough. The images will help get you started on some pictures of your own.

I can't believe the people that have made comments on the site! If you can't say something good or constructive, don't say anything at all would be a good idea in this case. PEOPLE TRY TO THINK WITH YOUR BRAINS!!!!

I like the duck animation, it must take some practice to consistently make the same duck.
