This was one of my first stop motion drone light paintings animations. This was created in-camera. Not Photoshop. It took 13 hours overall to create this piece between planning, and testing, and finally photographing it for real. It was originally inspired because a marketing agency with Ford reached out on how much it would cost to do a simple horse above the sky in LA. They didn't end up going with me but in spite of them I thought what if I animated it? Then being inspired by "The Horse in Motion" shot by Eadweard Muybridge in 1877 I wanted to give an homage to his work and bring it into the sky.

Oh yeah and that's the moon not the sun.
