Its become quite popular and overused in the last year or so.
And that is when a person in a commercial seems to write with a pen light and the light stays on screen even when the character leaves.
Well one the client I'm working with asked if I could do it. I simply told him I'd look into it. I'm somewhat against it mainly because it's quite overused at the moment, but I will look into it for him.
So whats the deal with this effect? is it mostly done in production or in post. I would assume in post, likely in AE or Shake.
Has anyone done this trick? if so how?
