Samara 'The Ring' Horror Movie Effect
Easy tutorial to create the shaking image of Samara from 'The Ring 1' horror movie. In this movie she frequently appears with a flickering videotape texture. Her movements are fast and bestial, and she seems to be associated more with electricity. Enjoy it! |

 |
|
Set up the canvas size first:
|
| |
|
 |
 |
|
Then let`s take Samara`s picture: |
| |
|
 |
 |
|
We gonna use a background now for her: |
| |
|
 |
 |
|
So now will have: |
| |
|
 |
 |
|
In order to get a cool efect let`s create some frames.
Frame #1 will be exactly the image you got first page: |
| |
|
 |
 |
|
Frame #2: For this frame, take Samara`s layer and duplicate it (Layer -> Duplicate Layer) |
| |
|
 |
| |
|
Then aply Motion Blur of 5 px (Filter -> Blur -> Motion Blur). Move Samara`s layer before duplicate
with 2 pixels left and then move the duplicated layer 7 pixels to the left. Move the background with
2 pixels to the left. Now you should have:

So far we have 2 frames: #1 samara and the background and #2 with Samara`s layer moved 2 px left
and then Samara`s duplicated layer (also blurry this time) moved left with 7 px
|
 |
|
We wont stop here, we move next to the frame #3 |
| |
|
What you need to do here is to duplicate the blurry layer and mirror it, i mean move it
to the right having the exact 7 pixels to the right.
Move the background with
2 pixels to the left.

|
 |
|
Ok, next frame, move the left blurry image with 2 more pixels to the left. Move the background with
2 pixels to the left. |
| |
|
 |
 |
|
Frame #5: Deselect the left blurry layer,
|
| |
|
move the original Samara image layer to the right with 2 pixels. Also, move the background with 2 pixels to the left.
 |
 |
|
Frame #6: The last layer will be the result of deselecting every layer and having just
the original Samara layer, i mean you`ll have just the first layer with her
and move
the background with 2 pixels to the left |

Using ImageReady:
And the final will be:

Why using image ready there to make the animation. you can do it just as good using photoshop. this is a photoshop tutorial after all, isn't it ?
yes, you can do it now using CS3. i had to combine the pictures i made in photoshop in imageready.
