Party Girl

"Party Girl"

What you need:

Tube of choice, I used artwork by VeryMany found SATC
Scrap Kit, "Party Girl Collab" by ME and Designs by Sarah found at PMTW/S
Font of choice, I used Saginaw
Animation Shop
Graphic Program of choice, I use PSPX2

Let's Begin!

1. Open a new transparent image
Open all of your supplies

2. C/P the disco ball from the kit
Add drop shadow
C/P the circle frame from the kit 
Add drop shadow
Create a new raster layer behind the frame layer
Using your lasso tool, trace along the open area of the frame
C/P the paper of choice inside selection
C/P the tube of choice above the frame layer
Duplicate and drag one layer behind the frame layer
Trim the top layer to give it a 3D look
Now trim the bottom layer so nothing hangs out the bottom of the frame
Add drop shadow to the bottom layer tube

3. C/P the filmstrip frame from the kit
Rotate 12 degrees to the right
Create a new raster layer behind the frame layer
Using your lasso tool, trace along the open area of the frame
C/P the paper of choice inside the selection
C/P the tube again above the paper layer
Trim and Re-Size as needed
Apply a blend effect with tube, I used Multiply
(this can be found in the drop down menu in the layers area)

+We will now begin the animation process, please add name and copyright info now+

4. Select the Disco Ball layer
Go to Adjust>Hue and Saturation

Play around with the controls until you get the starting color you'd like.
I went with the a blue from the tube, moving the saturation bar up and down a little.
Once your happy hit "OK"
Save as frame 1 or whatever
Hit undo and repeat. Each time moving the Hue bar to the left or right
It makes more sense, and will give the animation an even flow if you go from one side of the color spectrum to the other instead of skipping around.
Save between 6-10 frames

5. Open Animation Shop
Open the images into your animation wizard using your pre-selected settings
Once uploaded, press play if your happy with the speed, save and your done!
