Spotlight

Directions


With using a mask you will create a spotlight effect.



  1. Open a new document and either import a picture on to the stage or make a quick background drawing.
  2. Then use a mask to create a spotlight only showing the circle.
  3. Make the edges transparent to make it look real. There should be two layers animating over the same path.
  4. Have the spotlight fade out at the end of the animation to show the entire scene.
