The 'light sabre' wielding photographer creating colourful light paintings

Oops! At first glance I read that as 'light saber WEDDING photographer', and I wondered what the heck was going on.

Me too, I was thinking that sounds as tacky as hell, everybodies wedding pictures having to feature lightsabers, one or two weddings would be fine, but all his wedding photos? Anyway, we read it wrong 

If you search Youtube for a Youtuber called Dariustwin, he creates stop motion videos using light painting.  Very clever, and I have no idea how he maintains a register of where every frame needs 'painting'.

One of the best is Olaf Schieche:

Some of those LED sabre yokes are expensive for what they are, only dabbled in it myself and never got good results,  Tried the spin and LED on a string to make the light sphere thing but could not spin around in an even manner and drove a buddy mad when it was my turn to spin and his turn to photogaph, and tried the wire wool thing. Another buddy does very nice shoots with models on here using light painting.

I think it might have been some of the later Olympus MFT cameras that had a composite feature where you could prepare a shot and light paint.  
Rather than leaving it on bulb mode or a long exposure it would take several shots keeping the exposure the same but would composite and additional light or objects introduced and combine everything together. Was handy if you did not want to appear in the shot and were darker than the first exposure setting.

Actually "Live Time" was/is a modified bulb mode.

(I know, I hosted the introductory workshops for the OM-D E-M5 and the OM-D E-M1 for then still Olympus Germany)

The regular bulb mode would leave you in the dark until after the shot, and it would
require you to press the trigger as long as you wanted the exposure to last.

"Live Time" would start the exposure the moment you press the trigger, and stopped when you pressed again.
The back display, EVF and HDMI output (depending on what you use) would show a constantly updated
accumulated image of what you record.

First year's roadshows with these cameras included my idea of a black tent to experiment with that.

Hooking an external EVF Like the Portkeys LEYE II with a longer HDMI cable to the camera and setting it
to horizontally flip would allow for rather precise work in the dark.

One single small keyring LED light.

That was the one! yep I remember it getting demo'd in my local camera shop, along side an autostacking feature that apealed to macro photographers that did not mind shooting in jpg mode.
I was tempted but never bought and stuck with Sony.
