Over at Creative Cow
Aharon Rabinowitz has a video that gets you started in using "AE to simulate the popular light writing effect seen in recent Sprint commercials." "
Light graffiti" got way more
popular since
PIPS:lab debuted in the late '90s or so -- especially with those
Sprint commercials (
more) which also seem to end with
Trapcode Particular whisps of light. As Aharon says you don't need to use actual lights (like PIPS:lab or MAKE), you can just write-on, wiggle, and glow with or without something to track.
Andrew Kramer
posted somewhat related tutorials, 33. Graffiti Writing and
a light streaks technique with Trapcode Particular at Creative Cow some time ago.Light graffiti was also featured in the book
Urban Calligraphy and Beyond and in recent articles like
MAKE: Blog: Light graffiti,
Painting with Light,
Interview with LICHTFAKTOR: Light Graffiti Artists, and
Architectural Light Graffiti: Projection Bombing Images on Urban Surfaces.
Update: Light Writing - Part 2 is up at Creative Cow.
