For this assignment we will use PHOTOSHOP
We will create a candle animation using FRAMES.
New File > WEB > 1024 x 768 > UNCHECK Artboards
File > Place Embedded > Candle Starter Image Below
Add an empty Layer above the Candle Image.
Use the Brush Tool to draw a flame. Name this layer – Flame 1.
Add another empty layer and draw a slightly different flame.
Save the Color you use by double clicking the Color picker and choosing Add to Swatches
Now go to Window > Swatches, pull out the window and make it bigger to see your Swatches.
Save at least 3 colors in your Swatches
Continue this process until you have 10 flame layers. Name them all.
Now go to Window> Timeline.
Carefully in Window Timeline, choose Create Frame Animation
Carefully, use the Eyes on each layer to choose your first flame layer for the first FRAME.
Add another Frame by pressing the PLUS Button and repeat the process.
Be careful because the FRAMES are now connected to the layers.
When you are done, change the TIME setting underneath the FRAME to .2 seconds or .5 seconds, experiment!
