Make an animated Matrix Effect with Photoshop CC

In this video tutorial I will show you how to make an animated matrix effect simulating the effect as seen in the movie "The Matrix", where the weird text characters are dripping down the screen. This was done only using Photoshop Creative Cloud. I wanted to experiment with Photoshop CC to see what kind of results I could get.

My goal here is to make the animated effect close to what the original effect from the movie was as seen on the dated computer monitors in various scenes.

By studying the actual effect in slow motion, I have found that the columns of text do not move down the screen, instead areas of the text columns are covered with a black mask which is animated in such a way as to make it look like the columns are moving. Also the character below some of the black masks is glowing white. As the mask is removed the white character moves with the bottom of the mask. Also every so often random characters will change, otherwise the characters do not change. The image is made to look as if it is displayed on an older computer monitor.

This video was made for instructional and educational purposes. In it I teach people how to use Adobe Photoshop to make interesting designs. No copyrighted materials were used in this video.
