It’s been quite awhile since I showed Silence teleporting, so I thought I’d share how I make that particular special effect. First I copy and isolate Silence so I can have her appear in front of/within the effect. The explosion is actually a clip art image of a flower called “red puff.” I isolate the flower, blur it, increase contrast and saturation, and run it through a filter called “crackle.” Then I perform the same alterations on the isolated Silence. The explosion goes over Silence’s original location, and then she goes on top of it.
Happy Thanksgiving to all my American readers!
