Citizens of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, recently observed an otherworldly sight -- an illuminated man who appeared to be traipsing across the skyline.

The feat was made possible via strobe lights and a team of stuntmen clad in bespoke suits created by Hollywood costume designer Vin Burnham and technical director Adam Wright. A computer system using DMX software also wirelessly triggered the suits to light up on demand.

The overall effect is cool and different, and reflects well on the brand. "Strobe" is the latest in a series called "Amazing in Motion" that aims to celebrate objects in motion. Others include "Swarm," which features a fleet of small quadcopters, and "Steps," which tells the tale of a balletic couple of giant metal figurines. Check them out, below:
