Introduction
This project’s an unholy mixture of stop-motion, light-painting and hyperlapse.
The subject was filmed by a ring of 24 networked Raspberry Pi cameras working like a 3D scanner, taking pictures around the ring with a delay of 83 milliseconds between each one so that movement could be captured.They then cut out all of the resulting images and put them on a black background, then fed that data into a commercial light-painting stick.
This project takes things a step further: meet 3D holopainting.
A man dressed as a budget ninja walked the stick in front of a series of cameras set up where the original Raspberry Pi cameras had been, to create 3D images hanging in the air.
