Today's Lunch Special: Refired Beams*
Just a little out of the box thinking for your Thursday lunch break.
Hollywood-based photographer David Myrick [website|twitter] had a pretty cool idea when shooting stills for the electronic group, The Glitch Mob: Strobe them on white, then dress them in white -- and then rephotograph them while projecting them … onto themselves.
I can't quite put my finger on why I like it. I just like it.

*Yes, I do realize that may be the single-worst headline pun ever spawned by this blog. Apologize? Never. I live for bad puns.

What a cool idea, and The Glitch Mob make some great music as well
David Myrick's shoot was artistic brilliance. And your pun title was also brilliant - don't you dare apologize for it! Janine
This is great!. As I wrote on my own blog, this is a refreshing example of using digital technology tools mixed with lighting imagination, to create a unique visual expression.
Nice, but it's been done before. Michel Gondry used the trick in a White Stripes music video, "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground" - and he did in in motion no less.
That's an interesting concept. Very distinct results. I'm just happy to finally find somebody who uses a rainbow neck strap similar to mine!
Nanoo, nanoo!
Can anyone help me find the name of the music track used near the end of this piece?
Very cool idea!
David – you should be PUNished.

GREAT pun.....I'm now in the mood for some Taco Bell....
Genius, what an amazing idea!
This effect reminds me of Disneyland's Haunted Mansion, in one part where the statues come to "life" - they were moving images of faces projected onto white statue heads. (circa 1970)
Cool stuff.
This has been a very significant blog indeed. I’ve acquired a lot of helpful information from your article. Thank you for sharing such relevant topic with us. I really love all the great stuff you provide. Thanks again and keep it coming

That is WILD!
Now that is some cool innovation!
dude, I'm glad you didn't have any of those refired beams while you were on the bus...joe
That's brilliant, I wonder if they were inspired by Muse. They did a video with a very similar concept, I think it might have been for supermassive black hole
Gotta say it didn't do much for me.
@Ian-
Given the way he shoots, I am guessing Myrick has long since evolved past the need to please every single viewer of his photos. That need is probably the most limiting thing that can happen to a photographer. I am working hard to get past it, too.
Very creative. Photoshop without Photoshop. I like it.
