Scorpion Animation Poster

Here is an updated version of my Scorpion poster. I wanted to update it by adding a small animation for it. Specifically, in this case, adding fire around Scorpion, to show his powers: the manipulation of fire.

It took me a while to do. First, I found a fire gif and opened it in photoshop. From there, I deleted some frames because it gave me too many frames to work with. I deleted it from 30 frames to 10 and I decided to copy and paste those 10 frames onto the poster. Next, I transformed the size of the flames to make it smaller and placed it under Scorpion.

To make sure that it doesn’t look like a photo placed on top of a photo, I made the texture of the gif set to screen, to make the gif borders disappear. Finally, I made sure that the layers of the gif is visible to all frames, that way, the fire gif plays throughout the whole gif, and will never stop playing.
