After 11 years of evolution, the newest version of the Night-Writer is finally here.
Originally developed by Darren Pearson (Dariustwin) as a custom tool for his own light painting photography and animation work, the Night-Writer has evolved through years of experimentation, rebuilding, and refinement. Different versions of the Night-Writer became the tool behind many of Darren’s skeletons, dinosaurs, stop-motion films, and long exposure light paintings over the past decade.

Designed in collaboration with a mechanical engineer and electrical engineer, this newest version is the biggest evolution yet.
