Previous intrests with light

I have been involved with making my own fire spinning toys for about 2 years now.
I discovered last year one called "rope dart" aka "dragon poi"
Picking this up and using for about an hour i had the general idea.

I think this is a great toy for night time and also for performances.
Using it like the martial art weapon to create streaks of blue light across ones vision, and many circles.
Its held in both hands about 1m apart and could be described as a cowboy lasso beacuse of it big circle and it throwing style.

Spark to the pixel

Analog and digital
i think there many differences and some clashes
I would like to look at high contrast light videos and exposure frames not as differences but of clashing ideas and perspectives.

A frame i would consider to be analog.
A video i consider a digital.

I think i will have fun sharing the difference

Motion psychology

To move or be moved by forces greater than one has.
But to be moved emotionally?
This is something often discovered by people trying to respond the question
“What was felt?” or “how did that feel?”
Amazing, wow, sick as, and even hell sick

These are not a feeling of motion!

These are:
Speed, movement, slipping, balance, acceleration,

Is it an assumption that something different is something exciting or do we make a connection with what we have seen

I would like to look at bearing culture and

Rotor scope

I enjoyed making this rotor scope
i find that it is a careful but repetitive cycle that makes you think ahead.
This is some footage is from the first scene in my first short film.
I like the footage becasue of the diverse camera angles and lighting.
I think this is a great starting point for something bigger

If i were to make it better i would add a turning wheel sound effect and shutter flick to make it more lively.
