Animated Kaleidoscope

This is just a fun project we did in class this week.  We created a living digital kaleidoscope that changes as you save changes to your source document.  The animation part is a bit tricky because the kaleidoscope uses smart objects and when you change a smart object it changes every copy of it as well.  This was just by using a slightly more laborious process of saving each change to the kaleidoscope as a jpg and then opening all of your jpg files into a new document.  From there it is just a simple matter of creating a frame animation, which we've done before.
