Ha! Check out this awesome video that Team Lumiere (see below) put together from our photo shoot. Its got us talking about our process (only slightly less awkward than the NPR piece) and then shooting some of the pictures we ended up with that night. Enjoy!
On Sunday we had the pleasure of collaborating on a design project with some Parsons School of Design students. Team Lumiere, as they called themselves, were tasked (for a Louis Vitton design competition) to pick an artist as inspiration, and use that inspiration to create a fully realized design campaign. Team Lumiere chose us, and Sunday night we set up a studio shoot so they could see us work and get some inspiration.
For us, it was cool to shoot more abstract stuff, which is a far cry from our photobooth work (we went back to the ROOTS!) and for them it was a chance to draw inspiration from our work, which they would channel into the fashion design world. It was a cool collaboration, and BIG BIG BIG things will happen for all of us if they get selected for this competition. Check out the results below, and on the MRI Flickr. Make sure to click into these…they look better bigger.

Last weekend, we had an amazing Halloween, partying it up at The Canon Logic loft. We set up a booth just for fun, for about an hour, and thanks to some amazing costumes, we got some great shots (the robot!). Thanks to everyone who came out.
Check out The Canon Logic Halloween Lightpainting Shots right here!

Friday night we went to a house party. Beers from the fridge, furniture stacked in the corners, bedrooms bolted shut, valuables stashed, parents out of town, the usual. Only THIS house party (somehow) had Tittsworth, Nadastrom, Stretch Armstrong, and more spinning in the living room, at maximum volume. That’s how Plant Music gets down apparently. We had a brilliant time, we set up in the middle of the living room/dancefloor and let fly with the lights.
People seemed to have a great time, it was the usual excited chaos of “Oh man oh man can I have lights coming out of my cigarette??!!!”, and other such ideas. Thats the best part of doing these things, is when you start to see creative wheels turning. People get ideas, and they just light up (literally) when we can make those ideas come to light (again with the light metaphors). That’s the best part.
Anyway, enough jibber jabber, here are a couple of our favorites from the night. Check the rest out on the MRI Flickr. ALSO: MRI is on Twitter!! Follow us for updates, event news, secret guerrilla photo booths, print sales, and more!

MRI Lightpainting + Plant Music
YO! So we know its been awhile, but we are back on the attack. We just got a last minute job at a PLANT MUSIC party in Brooklyn for CMJ. Amazing DJ’s Tittsworth, Stretch Armstrong, Nadastrom and more will be taking care of the music, and MRI will be there from 12-2 am providing the acid-without-actual-acid-headed-visuals. Come by and get lightpainted! We would love to see some old friends and new faces.
The party starts at 10, at Brooklyn Docs (322 Union Ave). Flyer and info is here.
Check out some past lightpainting photo booth shots at the MRI Flickr.
Stay tuned for more! We just booked our first Bar Mitzvah (best. bar mitzvah. ever.) and we will soon be offering printing AT the event! So you can take your light creations home with you. Put ‘em in your bathroom…or wherever it is people put pictures of themselves.
Last weekend, we shot a birthday for a new friend (and one-time friend-of-a-friend). She wanted a lightpainting booth, and the results were fun and hilarious. By the end of our hour at the party, we were all pretty worn out and sweaty due to the bazillion degree heat and a thousand percent humidity in Brooklyn. Good times though regardless. Check out the rest on the MRI flickr.

Well, that being said, we’re moving this weekend. From one hustle (Astoria) to the next (Clinton Hill…ok…Bed Stuy). So once we get settled in our brand spankin new amazing place, we’ll make sure to send some more lightpaintings your way.

BEST. FLASHING LIGHTS. EVER.
It was Jubilee’s birthday, there were Frogs, Diplo and A-Trak jumped in front of our camera, the crowd went bonkers about a thousand times, and we took what some sources call “The Best Photo Ever”.

So we’ve got a lot of stuff coming out in the next couple weeks, which we think you will enjoy.
Lets start it off light. While we were back in MN, we got to meet Obi, My friend Matt’s new Boston Terrier (who pooped all over my parents house but that’s another story) that he got with his girl, Sam. Matt is a huge dork, which is how we became friends…by bonding over Aliens, Predators and uhh…Bio Dome. So anyway, naturally he named this little dude “Obi”, after the light-saber wielding Jedi from Star Wars.
Given the namesake, we had the idea of doing a lightsaber shoot for the young Jedi. The results are pretty cute, check em out. May the Schwartz be with you.

I like how Matt looks more stoked than the dog.
Anyway, that’s all for now, but there is more on the way.

Hey Everyone,
Its been a long time, sorry guys! We’ve been out on vacay for a week, but we haven’t been idle. Great things on their way, but for now…feast your eyes. Its no secret that we’re big Tron fans, and this video has been circulating around the interwebs (albeit in really poor quality) for awhile now, but the hi-res full quality teaser for TRON: LEGACY just came out and it looks unbelievable. Check it out.
Color us inspired. The most interesting thing is the elements of chaos in what used to be a controlled world (probably due to technological constraints) – the slightly wavering trails behind the bikes as they haphazardly knock stuff over and crash into each other make for a much stronger, more tactile image…uhh… </nerdout>
