guitar explosion
for this one you must get a pic of a guitar with the american flag on it and then you must get a picture of a guitar pick and then open it up by hitting file then open and then you copy and paste it onto the file in which you have the american guitar and then you go to the 3d setting and then you click extrusion from selected layer, and then what you do is type on the pick "ninth grad comp d". after that you go to view dropdown menu and select timeline and create videotimeline and then click the three lttle squares and thats your first layer, after that you copy the layer that has the 3d pick and then what you want to do is move it by selecting the move tool on the left tool bar it will be the first one and then what you want to do is move it backand to the lft a little so as to look like the pick has just plucked a guitar string. then you downloas a picture off the internet of a sound wave little thing kind of like the wifi symbol and then you copy and paste it onto this piece and then you put an orange gradient on it and then give it a stroke by going to layer drop down menu and then going to layer styles and then clickng stroke make it look kinda small so as not to make it look rinky dinky. After that you create a new frame and then just revert to the old pick to where it originally started and to make the sound waves you just copy and paste it again but erase half of it and make it go farther in the same direction and put a stroke on that one, remember that you will be having to hide these things on the first frame and then unhide it on iots original frame. then yo do the same thing going in the direction until it goes off the picture, make sure you are coordinating the pick stuming wiht the sound waves moving on each frame, make sure you are doing the sound waves on both sides so it looks like they are casually running in the same direction off of the page.
Now what you do is put the pick all te way to the bottom of the strings and then select the cool little thing that looks like a blob on the left hand tool bar and then you click the one that looks like a thunder bolt and put it at the bottom of the pick so it looks like thunder struck and then you go to the layer drop down menu and select pattern overlay and then give it a cool little pattern on the inside and then give the thunderbolt a little stroke also. Make sure you are creating a different frame for every action.
Then click on the blob thing again and then select the thing that looks spikey and put it where the thundrebolt has struck and then put a pattern and a stroke on it. and you copy and paste that onto a different frame and then you keep doing that until it fills the whole icture and then you create a nother little spikey but put it in a ranbow gradient and then what you want to do is type kaboom and then skew it to wher it goes from small to big and then you just create a different frame for every time you adjust it until it goes off the page.
