Light Painting Is All About Cute Girls Throwing Beads
If you thought that the physics behind light painting involves photon accumulation, advanced sensor technology and high end buffer management, you have it all wrong.
The truth of the thing, as Destin explains, is that light painting is done by cute girls throwing beads at boxes. OK, it does not, but Destin and daughter (and Wes Whaley) do a terrific job and explaining all this stuff in a fun and super easy to understand way. (Plus you get to see some of the most unique pregnancy photoshoots ever). Hit the jump to see the full video.

Where would one get that light wire shown at 5:30 in video?
EL Wire
Zeko - that wire is called Electro Luminescent Wire, or EL wire for short. A simple Google search will give you multiple options for purchasing it.

One of the lights used
For light painting in the video is a handheld HID spotlight by stanley. It costs about $70 but is 10x brighter than your average bright flashlight. I wonder how well it would gel....
anyhow, just search amazon for HID stanley and prepare to be amazed, you can light stuff up a football field away like dalight.
Floodlight
The floodlights actually gel well. Some of them even come with some colored lenses that snap on the front.
