Once we were more dialed in on that front, it allowed us to focus on technique. Early on, we were just getting comfortable with Pixelstick and slowly refining things to make it more usable. Pixelstick has been alive, in some form or another, for well over two years, and we’ve been shooting with the current prototype for a few months now. How much time have you had to experiment with the prototype so far? Have people gotten in touch with concepts for which Pixelstick might be well suited? The moment we saw your invention in action (via your Kickstarter video), we started thinking about a wide variety of things that would be fun to try out. That’s when we moved to custom circuit boards with a much denser LED layout, and Pixelstick began to take shape. Early prototypes functioned as proofs of concept, but the quality we sought still wasn’t there. We started thinking about ways we could use our tech backgrounds to possibly produce more interesting, high-quality results.

We met Duncan and Stephen at a waterfront Brooklyn park a few nights ago, where they graciously demonstrated Pixelstick in action and Duncan answered our questions about the soon-to-launch invention.
Pixelstick is a tool that will allow photographers and videographers to bring a totally new dimension to their work, giving them the ability to “paint” virtually anything they can imagine across the span of a timelapse video or photograph. Shutterstock contributor Duncan Frazier has long impressed us with his stunning timelapse footage, but when he and his business partner Stephen McGuigan (working together as Bitbanger Labs) sent us a link introducing Pixelstick a few days ago, we experienced the kind of awe that was formerly reserved for Apple product launches.
