Hypnotic Animation:

1.Make a new document. (300x300) Fill the Background with Black.

8.Now duplicate that layer, and press “Ctrl+F” once

9.Continue this process 7 more times. By the end, you should have 10 Layers.

10.Now, turn off the visibility of the top 9 layers, leaving only the bottom layer visible.

Now, click the “Edit In ImageReady Button” (It’s the button at the very bottom of your tools bar)


11.Once in ImageReady create 9 new frames in your Animation Box (If its not showing, go “Window > Animation”)

12.This is where the animating comes in. Basically for each frame, we are going to make one more layer visible. So, for Frame 2 of our animation, we are going to want to make Layer 2 (and ONLY layer 2 visible). For Frame 3, Layer 3. ect ect.

After you are done, press play, and you should have this!

Be sure to save it as a .gif to do so, go “File > Save Optimized As” that way it retains its animation! There’s many variations to this technique, I recommend trying it with color, and trying it with a blueish chrome making a watery substance.
