Merging two animated images

Hi all,

I want to combine two images for a card I’m making for someone. One image is a rotating image of a body, and the other is a static picture of a head. I’d like to piece them together such that it’s a complete, rotating person–in other words, the head should rotate along with the body. Since I don’t have an image of the back of the head, we could find a generic back-of-head shot or, if necessary, just use a black outline.

Unfortunately, I definitely don’t have the skills required to pull this off. Is there any chance that this is a simple enough project that someone here could put this together for me if I sent you the two images?

Thanks!
Mark

Oops, obviously the title is a little off–it’s merging an animated image and a static image into a final, animated image.

Animated images are just a series of still images right!

You will have to paste the still (head) image into the appropriate image frames correctly orientated.

CS3 will do that in animation.

You really don’t have to be an expert, Mark. Can you use Layers? If you can, just create a layer for the head and another for the body. Then turn on the timeline feature.

Clone an object and create a second ‘frame’. Move the item a little bit. Repeat the process.

It’s like doing those little animations you used to do when you where a kid in school drawing them in the corner of a pad. Or if you didn’t a friend did, and they were usually really nasty (in a young boy sort of way at least 🙂 )

Hope this helps. Anything much more than that and somebody would have to see the parts you have.
