Blast Animation

This is an animated blast effect example in photoshop and it is very helpful for learning how to create an animated explosion effect of a bomb in Photoshop. I have selected a bomb picture and going to to apply this effect. You can take any object. I have used some filter and tools, it is easy to create.

Start with a new document and set size as you required, inset any object to make this effect on.  

Choose Elliptical marquee tool (M key) and create a circle selection, take a new layer and fill "#f88102" color by the Paint bucket tool (G key) inside the  selection.

Change foreground and background color, go to Filter menu > Noise > Add Noise. Apply noise effect two times by pressing Ctrl + F key.

Apply ripple effect to modify the circle shape by go to this path "Filter menu > Distort > Ripple" and adjust amount.

I am going to make radial blur effect to make like explosion, go Filter menu > Blur > Radial Blur and make setting.

You get this picture.

Make duplicate layer of the explosion effect and press Ctrl + F key to apply again ripple effect, use same step again on new layer.

It is time to make animation so you have to go to Window menu and choose Animation, a frame window come on. Adjust each layer on the separate frame.

This is the explosion effect.
