I can’t wait to find the time to explore them! I got into the business of building things specifically to improve the quality of my work Pixelstick is no different. Can you imagine how incorporating Pixelstick might influence the way you shoot stock? You have a stunning collection of (mostly) timelapse footage clips on Shutterstock. It was only the overwhelming and unexpected response that forced us to completely rethink the idea.
It was always meant to be larger animal, whereas we went into our previous project with the supposition that we’d be hand soldering a couple of hundred boards ourselves. Right now, we’re pretty happy with the path set before Pixelstick. We’re always pushing to improve our design. Will exceeding your Kickstarter goal change the version of the product you expect to release? We’re excited to see what other creative folks can create. We were pretty stunned at the range of things we were able to do with Pixelstick just in our video, and we’re quite certain we’ve only scratched the surface of what’s possible. Once we were more dialed in on that front, it allowed us to focus on technique. Early on, we were just getting comfortable with Pixelstick and slowly refining things to make it more usable. Pixelstick has been alive, in some form or another, for well over two years, and we’ve been shooting with the current prototype for a few months now. How much time have you had to experiment with the prototype so far? Have people gotten in touch with concepts for which Pixelstick might be well suited? The moment we saw your invention in action (via your Kickstarter video), we started thinking about a wide variety of things that would be fun to try out. That’s when we moved to custom circuit boards with a much denser LED layout, and Pixelstick began to take shape.
Early prototypes functioned as proofs of concept, but the quality we sought still wasn’t there. We started thinking about ways we could use our tech backgrounds to possibly produce more interesting, high-quality results. Shutterstock: How did the original idea behind Pixelstick come about?ĭuncan Frazier: We’ve always been avid light painters (and timelapse lovers), but we were never quite satisfied with the fidelity. We met Duncan and Stephen at a waterfront Brooklyn park a few nights ago, where they graciously demonstrated Pixelstick in action and Duncan answered our questions about the soon-to-launch invention. Pixelstick is a tool that will allow photographers and videographers to bring a totally new dimension to their work, giving them the ability to “paint” virtually anything they can imagine across the span of a timelapse video or photograph. Shutterstock contributor Duncan Frazier has long impressed us with his stunning timelapse footage, but when he and his business partner Stephen McGuigan (working together as Bitbanger Labs) sent us a link introducing Pixelstick a few days ago, we experienced the kind of awe that was formerly reserved for Apple product launches.
