This emerald LED piano player bouncing between ivory chords while overlooking the sliding, pre-dawn backside of a San Franciscan hill was created by Ryan Cashman with a Canon Rebel DSLR using a 30 second exposure time and a small keychain light. I’ve love it: it takes a lot of skill to make a laser cartoon look so gosh darn pleased with himself when you’ve only got half a minute to sketch out each frame, like attending some anthropomorphic laser blob’s first piano recital. I would like to see more of this savant’s incredible twilight performances… some Adaggio in G Minor overlooking an ancient Acropolis, perhaps.

Absolutely brilliant! I wonder how many photos were taken to make that video? (I guess it’s how-ever-many notes were in the music piece).
I really like the ghosting of the person – reminds me of the puppeteers who wear black to remain concealed in plain sight on stage.
Holy Crap!!! That’s amazing!!
Awesome video!
