According to my list I have just one more effects shot but I'm sure I'll find more. Today I finished the house burn shot. This shot is taken from the public domain cartoon Audrey in Dreamland which seems to be ubiquitous on PD compilations. I had to extend the burning fire and then get rid of the "school" text on the front of the house. I tried slowing down the burn but it didn't look good so I just made several loops, mixed them up and repeated them. To get rid of the school text, I exported the individual frames and painted over the text until the flames covered it. Sounds tedious but it really wasn't. I painted no more than 18 frames. It literally took just a few minutes. I was thinking that if I made an fx reel, it would be pretty funny because everything would look so simple.

Everywhere from the dollar bin to Walmart to the "50 movie pack" available from Amazon.
