The plastic body feels a little flimsy for the price. Works as advertised, and once figured out, pretty easy to use.A really fun tool that opens up your creativity when shooting at night.This is not the type of product, though, that needs to take much abuse so it didn’t worry me too much. The handle itself was not very secure which left me worried I would accidentally fling the whole stick into the air. Multiple times during use I had to stop and tighten a knob here, or pick up a fallen piece there. It’s clear that this is a simple and cheaply made product.

My only gripe about the Pixelstick is the build quality. For example, this image of Chuck Norris hanging out by the Mississippi River…realistic, no? Okay maybe I struggled a bit with that one, but it gave me a good laugh. The Pixelstick is also really great for seamlessly adding images into a long exposure. I’m not sure what a “serious” application would be for the Pixelstick, so I basically started using it as a coloring tool… The Pixelstick isn’t exactly high powered, but I was able to use it as a light source for an interesting effect on my 1994 Geo Tracker. If you are working by yourself you will want to use a wireless remote and of course, a tripod. There are menu adjustments on the stick for brightness and speed, which can be balanced with the environment and speed of the Pixelstick motion.

The Pixelstick LED Lightpainting Tool is an aluminum stick with 200 programmable led lights used for light painting in long exposures or time lapse. I never knew I wanted to try light painting until I saw this video for the Pixelstick, and it took several tries before I could pry it out of the hands of my coworkers. Note that all of these images are interpretations of the Society Leader (1951), and shouldn’t be used for archival reference.Once in a while a product will come out that looks so fun everyone wants to try it. The extruded elements, below, show one such experiment. This led me to create a digitized version in SketchUp that I could manipulate at will. The geometric character of the Society Leader was also suggestive to me of a three-dimensional profile akin to a highrise cityscape.

It was this instance I decided to work with, using photos taken on site, 3D modeling software (SketchUp), and my newly acquired Pixelstick. The particular 35mm example I found in Gatineau had a distinct colour caste, rendering the various elements in rich hues of yellow, orange and red. This important industry organization is known colloquially as ‘SIMPTEE’.) (Appropriately, the Society of Motion Picture Engineers, founded in 1916, officially changed its name to the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers in January 1950. Townsend in the May 1951 issue of the Journal of the SMPTE, the Society Leader, like the Universal Leader that followed it some fifteen years later, was intended to address the specific needs of the emerging television broadcast industry. (The numbers SIX and NINE are also spelled out in text only.) Originally proposed by C. One of the most captivating discoveries I made was a lovely example of the Society Leader (aka All-Purpose Leader), easily identifiable by its countdown, featuring concentric circles with four arrows pointing to the tops and sides of the frame. My residency at the Banff Centre in October 2014 gave me an invaluable opportunity to start working with the materials I’d accessed in the nitrate film vaults at the Library of Congress in Culpeper VA, and during a day-long visit to Library and Archives Canada in Gatineau QC.
