    Hi i am trying to fig out how they did this motion streak take a look
    https://www.tiga.ca/ then go to archives then video the song is “your gonna want me”.

    I see the the cam is on a track dolly in the video you see the guys arm move and it leaves a streak was that done in the cam with low shutter speeds? or done in ae?

    Thanks

    well it could be done a couple ways.

    1. you could try and mess around with trapcode’s particular. it is a has some interesting tools that can copy the old ipod commercials.

    2. i think they maybe they had a 4-8 digital camera dolly rig with digital still cameras that had apature settings so you could get that streaked video look and they simple just turned the cameras on to take a photo every half second or every second as the dolly made its way around the circle track.. also the rig that held the cameras would be curved in the same way as the dolly track so that they all looked like they were taken from the same point. this is a cool idea it look very hip and trendy. there was a Japanese artist i saw about 8 months ago that did a really cool video using that light effect. you now are seeing that same look in the commercial for the new at&t adds. just still shots in a tiff sequence in ae… hope that helps.

    I am betting that it was done with camera work as you described… then in post editing theys simply blurred,blended track layers,changed colors, etc. using a basic editing software.

    Yea im betting that is the deal. Seems like a lot of work but the output is very cool. this idea could really be expanded and used to create some cool stuff. just imagine if you had a arm that reached overhead. You could pan to that position and really show off some cool stuff. like the spinning scenes would be amazing from above.
