I know It's nothing big and fancy but it's a basic thing I think some people might not know.
Ok so I made an animated ball just bouncing around. I got the insperation from the animated rain tutorial.
1.Ok first make a new picture. I made mine 500x500
Image
2. Use the circle selection tool to make a circle at your starting point.*hint* use the Shift key to make a perfect circle.
3. Fill the selection with a gredient with those settings like so.
Image
your picture should look like that right now.
Image
4.Make a new layer filled with white. Now you should still see the selection from last time. Make a new circular selection a little off of the one you see in the direction you want the ball to move.Here's what I'm and doing.
Image
5. Fill the circle you made the same way you did the other one.
Image
6. Keep moving the ball every layer till you are done. After that go to Filters>animation>the secont thing on there and click play. If you like it just go to Filters>animation>the third thing and them save the file as gif. There you go that's the animated ball. Here's my outcome.

You can add all kinds of background , lasers all kind of things yyou want.
Comment And Outcomes are welcome.

Well yes but considering that you can make all kind of things moving around. It's just the technique.

just an idea, wouldn't it be easier to just duplicate the ball after you did it once and move the duped layer to where you need it instead of remaking it?

and if for any reason you needed to change the angle the light was coming from, you could just rotate it.

its easy for me to follow, nice tut, the only thing is you might want to do is call it exactly what its called instead of "Filters>animation>the third thing"


although I already knew how to do everything in it so I didn't learn anything from it.

I would say It's really good except at the beggining you see 2 balls for a second. Really good glad you like it. I also want to know how you made the BG. I'm quite confused.

Could you not just render one ball then animate it as a path? Uneven spacing might appear to look like speeding up or slowing down
