--- About the Tube Stories
We are Kim Henry and Eric Paré. We are a dancer/photographer duo making our way using a tube, a feather, and a flashlight. Everything we do is lit by hand, one frame at a time. Light-painting for us is a lifestyle, and this is what we share with our audience. The purpose of the Tube Stories is to bring a brighter and more colorful night to whoever is going to cross our path. Our work has been presented on the BBC, CNN, MTV, VICE, TEDx and much more.

Happy belated birthday Kim! I love your work!.. both of you! You are so inspiring and thoughtful! Your images amaze me and the community you have created is a testament to to the exploration of beauty! The feeling I get when I look at your images is totally unique! No one else has made me feel that way with an image. You both hold a special place in my heart for inspiring me to be more creative and to explore. I think you are both so lucky to have each other to journey with and I look forward to seeing more of your adventures! Thank you!

[@Ericpare]

This is the first thing I read this morning. We're very touched by what you wrote. Thanks so much ::)))

[@andreaboyle9435]

It’s about the bond of friendship and community. You both continue to expand the light painting universe with every innovation you create. Love you both and happy birthday, Kim!💛💕🧡

[@MikeJamesMedia]

Happy birthday, Kim! Thanks for taking the time to show us your new tools, and your thoughts. You're doing undeniably great work! Take care, have fun, and stay safe.

[@Ericpare]

ahahhaa this is a running gag. I think that we have 10 episodes where it's Kim's birthday ::)) Thanks Mike :D :D And thanks for your participation to the laundry room challenge :D :D

[@MikeJamesMedia]

@@Ericpare I would've caught the gag, but unfortunately, I'm an idiot. My pleasure to participate in the laundry room challenge... Lots of other interesting ideas from others too, which I've enjoyed.

[@kiritengineer7506]

Thanks so much for wonderful details

[@mythdusterds]

I just bought 6 Small light-painting tubes online after seeing this video. The small tubes got me interested because that is something I am more likely to be able to afford than the longer tubes and it is easier to store away on the go. I look forward to trying them out.

[@JimmyDaboul]

Happy Birthday Kim! As a subscriber I enjoy watching your tutorials, behind the scenes and detailed process from start to finish of how to get the best photo out of each place you guys travel to. I'm very capable of making my own light painting tube but there's something that you two share with us that makes me want to buy them from you, as a jester to show my support to your channel. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

[@good_knight_vr6531]

Happy Birthday, Kim! I have been enjoying the journey the two of you have been on together! Looking forward to seeing where your creative minds take you next!

[@designmvd]

I appreciate the sharing from all of your videos. It's greatly helped me learn how to apply the creative mindset to expanding the tool-set for light painting. Thanks for sharing, and cheers!

[@tridentroy]

Awesome 😎

[@MrBigbadbowen]

Wish I could get tubes like that!

[@tonynikon]

Beautiful video! Why do I watch videos on KZbin on how to make X or Y light effect? Because I love to take ideas and get inspired, because I want to take pics outdoors or macro table tops. Because I love being creative yet original and I truly love photography, to meet new people with common interest and make friends along the way. Because to create something new out of your own imagination you need to learn new skills and to work on yourself. All that takes us closer to God.

[@EshashHouse]

I like to buy those products.| I love your work!

[@mahadevappaduter4124]

Good

[@epskoolpics]

Love your videos and I think its awesome that you make it easy to learn along with you. You guys are great. I'm trying to make this work with HIGH SCHOOL sports. I will use this lock down time to think of something unique and not boring. I didn't really see a link to purchase the tubes.

[@Ericpare]

hey thanks! First link in the description is the tube store: lightpainting.store

@@Ericpare is it delever to india..how much cost in india corency...i want a full kit set

[@stevenheizman4312]

hi Eric, while other ppl on YT lightpaint, I'm always amazed by your another-level work and esp like that you freely share technical details of HOW. also love you include your kit kat. glad he's still around after all this time. what is his name? I mighta missed it in earlier vid. my question is why do you prefer T8 (1") tubes over T12's (1.5")? larger ones allow use of more common, brighter, more powerful, longer lasting flashlights. rather than speculate that size of larger tubes make less desirable images etc, I'd like to hear your opinion. also I'm enjoying use of 3" wide multicolor stacks in tubes giving the rainbow effects (and matching color combos is fun) now. you also made vid w/Kyo tubes and acrylic blades once. any plans for more? suggestion; while Kim is stunning and vids woudnt be same w/o her, find a local martial artist who does Japanese weapons esp katanas, sais, bos and maybe even 3-sectional staff (hard to find ppl who can even halfway do it, its very difficult weapon to use). their fluidity of movement and weapons skill might lend elegance to photos. I'm not there anymore but am going to try it in next few weeks. good luck, cant wait til next vid.

[@starrynight2167]

Wow. You have a lot of gear.

Bonne fête Kim, 2 tubes-2 strobes, ça à déjà été testé?

[@Ericpare]

[@aswin0909]

This product for sale? And if it's possible? Will it be possible for shipping India? I like to buy those products. It will be more creative for my photography work...

[@Ericpare]

Hi, yes you can get these tubes on lightpainting.store OR you can make your own. I explain everything here: lightpaintingtubes.com/diy

[@balajistudiosrinivas7201]

How many price in india 🇮🇳

[@MookMajor]

i like how they say it not about money or selling these but they sell their kits full kits for for almost for almost 800 usd. for 3$ t-8 florescent light protectors tubes😂 considering i haven't seen anyone but yall using these tube i take it everyone else know this is a scammm😂😂 glad i did some research befor buying

[@Ericpare]

hey man! Thanks for your very valuable feedback, it's great to hear from experts like you! I love your music ::))) Just to clarify, there's nothing at 800$ on that store. I don't know where you got that. Also, when people buy from us, it's not about tube guards, but the assembly, the multiple layers inside the tubes, the accessories, etc. The pricing is established to keep a sustainable business and you'd be surprised by the cost of everything that goes into the making of a single tube. BUT... and this is the important point: I'VE ALWAYS ENCOURAGED DIY SOLUTIONS FIRST! I teach you HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN TUBES. Yes, all of the instructions, just for you, for free! Thanks again, you made my day! lightpaintingtubes.com/diy

[@MookMajor]
