2D Smoke Comp

In this exercise I have animated a still image so that it looks like real video footage. To do this, I have added a moving video, blurred the first second for a handheld camera feel, smudged the lens with fingerprints, and animated plumes of smoke.

The original still is found in this article from Macleans Magazine: http://www2.macleans.ca/tag/icelandic-volcano/. (AP Photo/Jon Gustafsson)
