This tutorial is a bonus from the new video course called Realistic Lighting in Blender. If you haven’t seen it, give it a look.
And beware. There will be even more stupid jokes there.
As a quick sample of one of these jokes, please welcome: tutorial dance. A special one, just for fans. I appreciate you.
And kudos once again to Todd McIntosh. It was your idea to animate the effect.

Sweet, reminds me of light painting photos. Those long exposure images where someone writes their name with a torch or phone. Nice one Gleb, thanks for the share.

Yea the technique is exactly the same. If the motion blur in Cycles could understand two things: a) curved motion and b) material changes. The effect would be even more true to life.

I think that the option to change the curvature of the lines can be found in the User Preferences. http://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/2061/how-can-noodles-the-lines-that-connect-nodes-be-changed-from-straight-to-curve
