Collage Animation v.3

In this Collage Animation version I tried to recreate a desert landscape, wide and limited to the most representative colors of the desert.
For the background I blended Hue / Saturation and a layer of Abstract Art, which I combined with Multiply from Blending Modes.
Also to the city I applied Hue / Saturation to get a more “sandy” color.
For the Yatch group, I added a Pattern Fill and Linear Light effect from Blending Modes.
For the New Ship layer, I also added Linear Light.
I used Screen and Vivid Light intervals for the Coke Bucket layer, thus obtaining a blinking effect.
For the Shark Fin group I applied Overlay from Blending Modes and some changes in the Opacity.
Finally, the Buoy group added the Outer Glow effect belonging to Blending Options in the Layer menu

Collage Animation v.2

This Collage Animation is about telling a short story, an informal meeting at a bus stop.
The background is the blended of 2 superimposed images to which I added Hue / Saturation, Color Balance and Multiply and Divide, belonging to the Blending Modes.
In addition, the top layer moves from one side to the other in the deeper layer.
For the Lips & Eyes (her) group, I added Color Balance and Midtone preset from Tones.
For Lips & Eyes (him) I used Hue / Saturation of the Adjustment Layer.
In the case of the Bus group, I added 2 curves from the Adjustment Layer, each one with different values to obtain a blinking effect on the bus.

Collage Animation v.1

The first version of my Collage Animation does not have a specific theme, it is something more experimental.
For the background image I blended 2 layers (one image of the Galaxy and the other one is an Abstract Painting) and I added Color Balance and Hue / Saturation respectively.
For the Hurricane Eye layer, I used a combination of several effects (Bevel & Emboss, Satin, Gradient Overlay and Outer Glow) to get a more colorful and “less common” vortex, and I used another Abstract Painting which added more color.
For the Benjamin Franklin group, I used the Preset Sepia from Hue / Saturation and applied it to an image of Benjamin Franklin extracted from a bill.
To the buildings I added an Abstract Painting and the use of Levels, each one shows a different color due to how the Effect interacts on its own color.
For the Stop Signal I mainly used 2 Blending Modes (Linear Light and Divide) getting an blinking image effect.
Finally, for the Shouting man group, I added Curves and from Blending Modes, the Darker preset.
