Photoshop Animation w/Sound

Audio and Animation 



Audio Choices
I couldn't upload the audio on it's own so the animation with sound and without sound are uploaded.  The sounds that I chose for this animation are a spooky ambience sound, scary forest sounds, and I added in some owls hooting.  I chose these sounds because when I created the triptychs I was going for what scary animals or things you would find in a dark and scary forest.  Some of the noises include a wolf howling, someone whispering stuff, and other more abstract sounds.  All of these sounds are on top of the chalk sound that was given to us for everyone to use.  Finding these sounds weren't too difficult to find, it was more of the matter of finding the right kind of creepy sounds that I wanted to be portrayed in my animation.  Once I had my compilation of sounds, I had no trouble putting them together with the animation in premiere elements.

Triptych Animation


For the animation of this triptych I simply made most of the animals fade out slowly or almost right away throughout the animation while others moved across the screen at a moderate pace for the length of the animation.  There are a few that seem to pulsate by fading in and out.  I chose to make everything disappear except for the main background images and I made the quote as one of the last images to fade.  Using Photoshop's animation tool was pretty simple once I got the hang of it because that was a tool in Photoshop that I had never used before.
