It Works Like This

Check out the Ch21FinishedProject.mov file in this chapter's folder on the book's DVD to see the final results of this project. To get those results, you'll do the following:

1. Create a virtual filmstrip by masking out sprocket holes in a solid layer.

2. Add movie files to the strip to create the film frames.

3. Animate the entire filmstrip across the screen, making it slow down and speed up.

4. Create exaggerated motion blurring withwhat else?an effect.

The filmstrip enters the scene from below.

The filmstrip speeds forward in a blur…

…and slows down to give glimpses of the video playing in its frames.
