In this tutorial we are going to learn how to combine static and a regular picture to animate a TV set using Photoshop. Grab the picture of an ordinary TV.

Create a new layer Layer-New-Layer and with the Polygonal Lasso Tool click on all four corners of the screen and when you close the loop Fill the selection with black .

Duplicate the black layer three times. Now go to Image-Noise-Add noise and move the slide until you get the consistency that you are looking for, I used 63.37.

Repeat the process in the other two layers but in the second layer use 63.36 and on the third layer use 63.35. What you get after you finish this process is the static look created by Photoshop.

Now lets bring the picture to Image Ready. select first layer as the initial frame. Only the TV should be visible. For the second frame, only the TV and second layer need to be on and on the third frame, only TV and the third layer should be visible. You can mix and match frames for a more random result.

Change the timing between one event and the other so that you get an interesting animation. This is my first example.

Using the same work, I changed the timing at various parts and i get this other example. I hope you enjoyed this photoshop tutorial.
