SMITH TRIES STUFF - HOBOLITE AVANT MAX
This is a first look at the Hobolite Avant Max and Mini Max (I think I mucked up the naming in the video). I am off to Scotland tomorrow, so this was a pretty quick rough edit. When I return we will be taking these into the wild, I have some amazing ideas to really push these lights hard.
As with all SMITH TRIES STUFF we actually make images, no fancy unboxing here.

SMITH CREATES STUFF - Light Painting a Saxophone
Просмотров 207Месяц назад
I have had some very special instruments to light paint, and this is another. The saxophone of Derek Pascoe. I have been working with Derek, Chris Martin and Luke Altmann on an epic set of recordings for an upcoming multi album series called “Here Comes Everything”. It has been an honour. More to come, but I hope you enjoy this little play. Derek Pascoe - derekpascoe.com/ Luke Altmann - www.alt...
SMITH CREATES STUFF - Water Walls
Просмотров 204Месяц назад
I play around Port Adelaide a lot, and the epic Wonderwalls often play a part. This shot has been in my mind for years. Mik and I made it happen. Live composite on the Olympus (OM System) cameras allows us to make single shot light painting images on epic scales in very bright environments. Walkie talkies, long lenses and good mate, perfect night. You can see Mik’s amazing work here - instagram...

There is a new gallery over at www.denissmith.com.au/autoart I have about 8 videos sitting on timelines waiting to finish, this is the week. I hope you are all well. Peace, Denis

SMITH MAKES STUFF Ball of Light Tool NO.1 Refurbishment

This amazing tool has been sitting on my shelf for 10 years waiting for some love. In this video I refurbish my first Ball of Light Tool alongside my first ever light painting tool, and take them for a play on the beach. So much fun!

SMITH TRIES STUFF - HOBOLITE (IN THE WILD)

I took the Hobolite Iris out for some actual intentional light painting. This idea of trying things out is not for some in-depth technical analysis. I reckon just taking them out and ,making work is better that that thing.

Early Morning Largs - Behind The Shot
Just stumbled across this video. I’m actually in the process of building a “wand” using addressable LED’s, a microcontroller and a 3D printer. I have an image in mind that can be programmed in that is very specific. Subbed to the channel in hopes that I can get some ideas from you for the physical parts of the build. Already have a couple ideas from this video. 😉 Keep up the good work!!
Brilliant images created here sir! Thank you for sharing how you made them without too much technical jargon. Very inspiring!
Interesting spaces. I would love to have a look at the lights if you bring them to bfop. Have fun in Europe.
Thanks mate. I will have them with me for sure.
What a great video and such a great night at Phil's. Loved learning the process of taking those amazing images with all that beautiful movement. Can't wait to experiment some more.
Thank you mate, for everything you do, and all that you are.
Oh, awesome video, Denis, and what a fantastic piece of equipment, although to pricey for my work, but very cool, your work and creations are awesome as well, thank you.
This was such a great video Denis! Very well said, and I definitely agree!
Thanks Rob. I’m glad you liked it mate. I hope you are well🙏
Such a great explanation! My first tool too and always trying to explain why it is so great, so now can just send folks here! Never tried glass, but now I will have too ;)
Thank you. Bottles are amazing to play with.
Great stuff Denis, inspiring as always
Thank you mate. I’m glad you like being here.
its awesome how in an artists hands a camera can capture a moment in time in a way that the artists mind can perceive with intention but at that exact same moment our eye can not...share more please.
Thank you🙏 it is a beautiful practice that brings me so much joy.
i own 4 universal connectors...BIG THUMBS UP !! Denis what video software is that you use in the light painting demo that shows the light painting progression ...?
Hi mate. Thanks for coming by. It is a still and video, blended in post production. 2 seperate cameras. 🙏
I agree Denis this is a great tool.I have a few and have always relied on them. Thanks for another great video and reigniting my passion for light!
Thanks Rachel, I am so pleased you enjoyed the video. 3,2,1, ignition!
The simplest ideas are often the best.
Hi Kev, less is more! I hope you are well mate
thanks Denis, I totally agree. great video
Thank you, I really enjoyed making this one.
Got to agree with you Den, first tool I bought and used with bottles, plastic and glass, as well as anything I can find that fits in. Got 6 of them now in my kit and all used for DIY or LPB tools with numerous torches. 🙏
Hi mate, so much fun, and an essential part of any kit, so pleased you stopped by.
I don't have one of those - might need to invest. Nice to see a cricket bag!
Hi mate, you will not regret it. Yeah we had so much gear on that trip. I was shooting tutorials for Olympus. so we had lighting, video gear etc. Thank for coming by.
Very informative Dennis. You seem to know the art so well with so many fantastic pieces you've done. Awesome work simply outstanding 👏 👌. I'll never forget the workshop you ran down at pt Adelaide harts mill a few years back. Got some of the most amazing images done of my silver zj Ford fairlane. You definitely opened my eyes to something I never even knew existed 😎 cheers jezz
Hi mate, I remember you and the car. That was fun. Thanks for coming for a watch.
Love my LPB tools, now I need to add some Smith tools 😉
Hi mate. I hope you’re well. Thanks for coming by.
@@SCHOOLOFLIGHT anytime mate, I like to make sure the support is there and I always enjoy your work and videos
Always great to hear from you and see your work mate. Always inspiring.
Thank you 🙏
🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆0:31 you rang?
Hey ducky!! 😊
Well said Denis, I am just starting with light painting and a universal connector was my first purchase. Jason has made some great tools that enables lots of very creative people!
Thanks mate. It is a deep and beautiful rabbit hole this man has created. I head down in regularly to be reminded. 🙏
#Greatestcontent
Thanks for the background. Any idea when the next lot of heads will be available for sale?
Hi Robert. Happy to take an email to chat about this. Contact form over on the website is the best way. I’m glad you liked the video.
Nice one mate, love to hear the story about the image(s) , awesome
My pleasure. I should do this more. I think it ads another dimension.
Thanks so much for sharing Denis, I really enjoy your videos and what awesome results you achieve. Always inspiring.
Thank you so much. I’m wrapped you enjoy them.
if i lived on the other side of the planet....you and i would be friends.
Mate. We can be friends on opposite sides of the plant. Where do you live?
@@SCHOOLOFLIGHT in...NV USA... Burning Man is almost in my front yard.
Beautiful work, Denis! Now I have to find the violin video...
Thanks mate. I think it’s on my IG as a reel. I’ll put a link in the description.
Awesome, thanks, Denis! I try to hit IG daily but it has been crazy recently with our canine’s upcoming surgery.
Far Out !! Im digging this video..!!
Fun aye mate.
Some Awesome creations Thanks Denis
Nice one , well explained
Denis...This channel is very inspiring...im a noob in the process of getting started... thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks heaps. Look, I am learning so much, all the time. We can be noobs starting out together. 🙏
Wow, what an awesome idea and creation, I'm so glad you're back making videos. You are very inspirational, thank Denis
Absolutely epic. You guys did a brilliant job. Teamwork.
Thanks mate.
will you be offering your ball of light tool for sale again..?
Hi there. Feel free to shoot me an email via the website contact form. Happy to chat about that. 🙏
Incredibly creative
Thank you. I’m super stoked you enjoyed it.
The two Jasons and Johnny Griffin are like the mad scientists of lightpainting, legends!
Hi Tim. Hope you’re well mate. They are good boys. That’s for bloody sure.
Beautiful inspiration. That reminds me of the time with my friends 2012 when we had fun with sparklers and camera. Now I find there is a name for it. 😂 Thank you 🙏🏼 Peace 🕊️ with love from Italy 💞
Sparklers!!!!! Yay
@SCHOOLOFLIGHT You teach the photos bur how to do videos like this? 😮
Hi mate. There is a link in the description to the software we share here.
@@SCHOOLOFLIGHT Thank you Denis! I love your enthusiasm and that you are willing to share it with everyone! Love from Portugal Take care
Wow! I just played with live comp for the first time at our fireworks show. So fun! Now I want to experiment with live time too!
I’m stoked you enjoyed it. I was actually out last night using live comp for an epic shot and it was wild.
Once again, very inspirational Denis; a huge thank you.... am going onto Weymouth beach at midnight tonight to try it out.
My pleasure mate. I had such a beautiful time putting this together. 🙏 enjoy the beach.
Very interesting. Great shooting! 👍 📷
Many thanks Denis, I am learning so much from you; it is greatly appreciated. Stuart, Weymouth, UK
Hi Stuart. I’m so pleased your are enjoying the bits I’m managing to get finished and up. Have a great weekend. Peace.
God dam mate being a dip shit is fine and we have all been there (some of us are still there) but by the gods you look like your a happy one, and it's Conagious! keep making these they are Awesome, from a Dip Shit Pom, hehe
Haha. Thanks mate. Look self deprecating behaviour can be odd at times. But I just want people to know that you can be uneducated, have mental health challenges, numbers look like spaghetti, and still manage to have a go. More fun coming.
Excellent video - the passion for the first tennis ball is obvious.
Thanks Paul, if you’d suggested 20 years ago that I’d be attached to a cut in half tennis ball bought at the $2 store, I’d piss myself. Glad you enjoyed it mate.
Denis, you are not a dipshit, you are a self taught nerd who loves coloured lights! Great video!
Haha. Thanks mate. Look, the point I’m making, and I look forward to sharing this story soon, is that I left school super early and always struggled to learn. So I want to try and encourage others who struggle to learn stuff to have a go. I had a clinical diagnosis for adhd last year. It made me realise so many things.
This is so good SMITH. Really enjoyed watching this one..And I can also see and feel you had a ball with this. Well done.
Thanks heaps mate. I’m having a lot of fun.
I've recently stepped into the amazing world of Light Painting. Thanks to your no nonsense tutorials on basic light pens, I've started making my own tools! I'm still sh*t at soldering but it works with enough hot glue and wooshing noises ahah! I've always loved your first ball of light and would love to learn how to make my own!
Hi mate. We are going to making some orb tools shortly. Thanks for coming by.
@@SCHOOLOFLIGHT can't wait! And also can't wait to see your work in Scotland. That's where I am. In fact, that's how I first found you because I'm staying just outside Largs in Scotland and saw one of your video with "Largs South" in the title. Didn't realise there was another Largs so far away from me!
Did you know you have 2 playlists for light painting tools? Shouldn't they all be in 1.
Thanks mate. It’s all a bit of a mess. Thanks for dropping by mate
Nice job
Thank you mate.
Some pretty cool shots of shoes! Those scanners look really interesting to me, any further info would be much appreciated!
Thanks mate. Happy to share any info you would like.
Hi Denis, The small scanner looks like a really good way of restricting the light for smaller details. I am lousy at DIY, can you buy them any where? Thanks.
@@timwootton4649hi Tim. Yeah the different size scanners are great for exactly that. Frodo (google DKL scanner pro) is making and selling a scanner that you can snoot down to this size. I hope that helps.
I think the red/blue 🥾 is really striking. That’s a pretty evil laugh BTW Smith 😂
Thanks Di.
Really great results Den 🎉
Thank you🙏
Just ordered mine after watching your two videos on it. Great job! I love how enthusiastic you are about your art/craft❤
Thank you, I’m having a lot of fun at the moment.
