1275.3 - Dispersion Effect

Remember the dust effect from Infinity Wars?

You will be recreating this effect to yourself in Photoshop.  There is a tutorial video below.  It is a good tutorial, but there is no audio.  All directions are captioned in text at the bottom of the screen.  Take an image of yourself in front of greenscreen.  Make sure that it is well lit.  Follow the turorial to disperse yourself.  Using the green screen will allow you to put a dramatic cool background on your image (something that the turorial does not do, but you should have the photoshop skills to do so at this point ... as me for help if you need it.

As per usual, upload your completed photoshop file to our google classroom and upload the jpg to you edublog.
