Post by grg »

Required: Adobe Photoshop

Were going to start off doing the Matrix Effect and last the animation.
Matrix Effect
1.Hit File New>Matrix
2.Make the Size 550x150
3.Filter>Texture>Grain
Settings
Intensity 100; Contrast 100; Grain Type = Vertical.
You should have something like this

4.Change Your Foreground color to a lightish green then
5.Filter>Artistic>Neon Glow
Glow Size = 5; Glow Brightness = 15;
Choose a luminous green color for glow color.
6.Filer>Stylize>Glowing Edges
settings: Edge Width = 1; Edge Brightness = 15; Smoothness = 1
You Should end up with a effect Similiar to this

Animation Part
1.Duplicate the matrix layer twice ctrl+j
2.Jump to Imageready
3.While in the first animation frame, selct the move tool and move Layer 1 (the top layer) all the way to the top of the frame. Out of sight.
4.Now add a second animation frame,by hitting duplicate current frame.
5.Highlite the second frame. Now using the move tool, move Layer 1 back to its original location.
6.In the same animation frame. Using the move tool, you now move Layer 2 (the middle layer) to the bottom of the frame, out of sight.

7.Make sure you keep all the Matrix code lines lined up as you move the two layers.

8.Set your timing to 0.1 if you want the code to move slower, you can also use "No Delay" if you want the code to move faster. Play with the timing settings to see what you like

9.Then select Tween, and add 5 frames.

10.Delete frame #7

Your animation is now done
