Any similarities is completely coincidental
*For this tutorial C/P means Edit, copy element or paper and paste as a new layer.
*Also when I suggest clicking on a layer first before you C/P its for placement purposes.
*D/S - Effects, 3 D effects, Drop Shadow then put in the settings I post in the brackets.
Create new raster 600 by 600. Flood fill black.
C/P each of the Papers. Rename each P1 - P5, P1 being the one on the bottom just above the black background.Using your selection tool, trace out a section 200 pixels deep, it doesn't matter if you exceed your work area
on either side, just as long as you stop your section at 200 long...see preview.
Image, crop to selection.
On Black backround , Selections, Select All, Modify, Contract by 2, hit delete, select none.. send to top and rename Border. Click on your P5 layer. C/P your main tube. Place to the left, duplicate mirror. On P5 layer, select All, crop to selection again. Rename your main tube layers, Top-Right and Bottom-Left. Change the Blend Mode of the left one to screen. Duplicate the left one 4 times. One by one drag one of the left tubes, to just above one of the Papers (P1-P5) and merge down, so that there is a left tube on each of the papers.
Click on P5, add your copyright info, duplicate 4 times and repeat the merge process so that there is one on each of the 5 Paper Layers. Doing it like this
keeps the number of layers to a minimum. Back on your P5 layer, set your bottom material box to BLACK, top to nil, set your anti-alis to Off, click on your text button, scroll to find your FF Urban Font, set the size to 10 pixels and add your wording. I just repeated my phrase twice with a few... between them. Note- my wording didn't take up my whole work area!
Arrange wording to the left of your image. Right click on layer, convert to raster. Back on P5 Layer, set your bottom material box to WHITE, top to nil. Using your rectangle tool, trace out a rectangle a few pixels wider than your wording. I extended past each side just to be sure it reached the edges. Right click on the layer, convert to raster. On P5 layer, Select all, Image - crop to selection again. Duplicate your white strip layer. On the top one, selections, select all, select modify, contract by 2, on top strip layer hit delete, now
click on the bottom white strip layer, while ants still marching, selections invert, hit your delete button, then select none. Change the opacity of the bottom white strip to 36%. Now drag your wording between the 2 strips, merge down so the wording is on the main strip, duplicate 4 times. ( Note .. you are not merging the top white strip!) Now drag each duplicate strips to just above one of your papers and merge each one down onto a paper. To see if your correct.. I have 8 layers showing. Top one my border, next my main right tube, then my top white strip and then my 5 Papers. Back on your top white strip layer, duplicate 4 times, rename each one S1(bottom) -S5(top).
Starting on the bottom one, go to effects, plug ins, Alien Skin Xenofex 2 Constellation and apply with these settings.
Click OK, move to the next strip layer, apply same just hit the random button before you hit OK. Continue through each strip remembering your random button. Click on your S5 layer, C/P my Word Hot 1 into your image. Place where you want it to be. Select all, select float, Layers, create new raster. C/P Hot 2 but choose the paste into selection option not as new layer.Layers, new raster layer, C/P Hot 3, paste into selection. Layers, new raster, C/P Hot 4 paste into selection and repeat for Hot 5. Once done, Select none and your floating layer will disappear, though you will have to rename each as H1 (Bottom) to H5 (top). One by one, starting at the bottom Hot add a Gradient Glow (Alien Eye Candy Text) with these Settings.
Now add a d/s to each (4,2,40,4.00)
Click on your H5 Layer, add your Stuff text, I used Veranda Font for this.. you choose:) Duplicate 4 times, Renaming each W1(bottom) - W5(top).
Click on your main tube, add d/s (6,4,40,6.00) and duplicate 4 times and rename each T1(bottom) - T5(top). Click on your top border layer, duplicate 4 times, rename them B1 (bottom) - B5(top). Now add your name text, duplicating 4 times, and renaming each 1-5 as well. Now close out all your layers that don't have a 1 in the name. Merge visible. Rename it Frame 1. Now hide it and un hide all your layers with a 2 in the name.
Merge visible, rename that Frame 2, hide it. Open up all the 3's, merge visible, rename it Frame 3, hide it. Open the 4's and repeat then do the 5's. You should have 5 Layers each named Frames 1 - 5. Make sure you save your work! Open up your animation shop, C/P Frame 1 as New animation, C/P 2-5 each pasting after current frame. View animation and save. Hope you enjoyed this tutorial:)
