Light painting, or drawing with light while leaving the camera shutter open, is gaining popularity due to cheaper DSLR and compact cameras with manual shutter controls. There are many stunning light painting photos available on the net. There are, of course, some people who decided to take it another level and do light painting videos. However, since you can't get the light painting effect without leaving the camera shutter open for at least 1 second per frame so that you can draw an image (something impossible on a video cam), the only way to do a light painting video is painstakingly take many photos and combine them into one video. It's tedious, it's tiring and demands a lot of patience, not surprising then that there are only a handful of such videos..
I chanced upon this video, whose creators decided to illustrate a battle using light painting. I must say, it's really well done. In the behind the scenes, they did mention that they took about 480 photos. And I think they did it all in a night. Really impressive results, with matching sound effects. Take a look in the video below. You may want to check out more videos from this user, he has really good visual effects videos. ^.^
