incredible stop motion urban lightwriting

Ages ago I blogged about some us doing some slow exposure photos, and I was wondering what this kind of photography was called. The answer is lightwriting.

Check out this incredible new video produced by the lichtfaktor crew - it combines light writing with stop motion animation and general awesomeness.

It's to advertise a Star Wars VS Star trek season on Sky - surprisingly forward thinking, good stuff. An example of letting those who know how to do it get on with it without too much agency interference.

As a point of interest, I found this video via the Wildfire Network - a kind of network that enables blog/website publishers to get paid for seeding Wildfire clients videos. I signed up out of sheer media-curiosity and so they sometimes send me videos, but this is the first one I've thought worthy of writing about.
