This video is amazing, they have used the technique of extending the shutter speed of the camera and then literally drawing in the picture with light. This idea is used far to much for my liking, its taking the fundamental idea of photography (capturing light) and just extending it so obviously if the light source moves in the frame it would create a light stream across the picture. I feel that this is used far to much, especially in A Level work. Its a gimmick that unless used properly like in this case should not be allowed in the world of design. Fortunately the accuracy of repetition from frame to frame is very impressive. They have obviously spent a lot of time reviewing the shots in order to make the best possible result.
