No, it is not all done by hand. Maybe the initial area is, but only for a source point to match the people to and for ambient light on the ground and what not. The rest is done in After Effects. Either using Trapcode's Particular plug-in or something similar. I used Trapcode. The same was used for iPod nano commercials. This is almost a year later. No, it is not all done by hand.

I can confirm since I live about two blocks away from where they did it and would watch from afar. Yeah, it’s all flashlight.

A friend and I were debating if this was real light painting or not. Turns out I was wrong! I thought it was too perfect and had to be CG. What an amazing movie! WOW…thanks so much for posting this.

I hope Sprint is paying them for their idea.

I read that the artist took several days of shooting to complete. And yes, it is quite amazing :) I haven’t investigated, but I think it was probably done by hand.

I'm hoping that it was done by hand as it would make the results even more amazing. I’m confused, are you saying that it was done with CG or not.
