I long time ago i posted a tutorial on how to use the light painting technique and then using those pictures to make a neon light wallpaper with the help of Photoshop.
And since this is a really popular photography/animation technique there are a lot of people working with it to bring us something new. One of those guys is Ryan Cashman. He made a animation from those photos and added piano music resulting in something really creative and unique.
Anyone who doesn’t understand how this is done, it start’s with taking a photograph on manual setting where you open your aperture for a longer time, 5-10 seconds. In that time, you can move or use light to paint. After that, you add the images into a sequence(usually you need 24 pics for 1 second of video) and you get a animation. Add sound and you just finished a nice artistic video.
Here’s the Light painting techinque on a piano:
