We made a total of 7 layer, using the smudge tool on all of them we made it look like white fire. We then went to the pokemon ball like tool at the bottom of the screen and adjusted the color balance.
To make it move- we went to window- timeline.
hit "create video timeline" hit the three squares in bottom left hand corner add a frame much like layers, speed is adjusted on the frame, tween is the shooting star button on the bottom (it makes additional slides in between your slides)
Save it for the web!!!!!

Banksy: image adjustment- threshold
Filter-filter gallery- cut out
I preferred to use the filter gallery. For the piece I made the filter gallery let me keep the colors in the picture. The threshold was a good tool though I think you need to have a very clear picture for it to work.
I made a piece about a privileged white girl (can be any race) and how people think money fixes all problems. Especially when they complain and it's labeled as a first world problem and pushed aside.

Video Notes:
-reptiloid.obj (object we will receive)
-Deke McClelland: makes very simple how to videos
-Set workspace to 3D print set; window-workspace-3D
-3D postcard- a little bit of depth but not that much
-3D extrusion- like the 20th century fox movie logo
-Mesh from preset- polygon triangles that form whatever shape
-Edit-preferences-3D-preferences -use graphics processors- drawing mode set in advanced
-get a model at thingiverse.com, daecolada, google earth kmz
-3D model must have a 2D page to go with it
-select move tool to move object around
-first tool is the rotate tool
-next is camera tilt
-next is drag tool
-next is the truck tool, to move closer or further away from the model
-finally is zoom in or out
-the last 5 tools adjust the camera not the object
-must select object to move it
-make an object: mesh from present and pick an object
-make type 3D- type-3D: considers it polygons instead of text (to redo it must delete it and redo it)
-separate layers can move on their own
-select all layers: hold down shift and click on them
-Must unselect objects to move camera
-Diffuse=color - replace or new texture
-Use fill bucket to pick a color for the text
-scene: a special kind of layer that houses one or more 3D objects. Photoshop treats each 3D layer as a separate scene.
-Mesh: the wire frame structure of a 3D object, you can combine meshes to make more complex objects
-Camera: or the view is a 2D snapshot of a 3D scene, when in doubt move the camera not the object
-Material: "skin" of the mesh, includes the coloring (the diffuse map), the texture, and reflectivity (Shininess)
-Light: Light reveals the various materials and cast shadows
-3D panel, make sure scene is selected- under the properties window- then select the "Lines" box
-window-color-use HGB color or just do a backspace fill
-window-3D: will default to white if no color is chosen
-can affect the infinite light in the properties window
-while on scene layer- fly out menu in the upper right hand corner of 3D menu- click add objects- add mesh preset- pick one
-fly up menu- ungroup objects
-if the control panel is too small press shift and drag
-3 arrows: x, y, and z axis- square in the middle affects size, arc on each arrow rotates it, box on the axis scales the ring in the direction independently, arrows move the object on the direction
-can change view or close it: to get it back go to view-show-pick one
-align buttons are on the top of the screen
-click the object- to edit material (skin around mesh): click object material- go to the properties box- diffuse box- click on diffuse box- pick a color- click on the page next to the diffuse button- click remove texture
