Project #8a
Synopsis
This was a technique that I learned a while back. Basically I
started out with just a clip art graphic of a butterfly. I then
brought it into Adobe Photshop and started duplicating layers
of the butterfly. Each layer would have a different set of movement.
I basically used the free transform tool (edit > free
transform) to make him thinner. As I was making him thinner,
I was also making him taller as well so that it would seem like
the wings were coming closer.
In the end, I modified 7 layers to get the butterfly to flap
inwards. After I was finished with that, the other part was easy
(making him flap outwards). I just repeated the same step backwards.
The last part was just adjusting the butterfly in every frame
to make it look releastic. That's all!
