226.365ish The Old Vortexed Orb Trick

Every light painter who has created an orb has done this. This time I decided to try it with fire on a stick.

 

It was tough getting a smooth orb with the stick rather than the cord/wire/chain style but was fun making none the less. The problem with "spinning it" on the end of a cord etc. is the momentum gets too great for the fire to show up in the shot. The stick twirling was a solution to this dilemma.

 

It even sounded cool as I was swinging it around. Pyro through and through!
