Electrocardiogram

[Lost Marble]

I was playing around with masking, and came up with a little trick for doing electrocardiograms/oscilloscopes/mad scientist thingies. Here's a little movie I created:

And here's the source file:

This is pretty similar to one of the masking tutorials in the manual, where some text gets exposed by an expanding mask. Here the mask just slides from left to right. It's simple, but I thought it might be useful to someone.

Pretty cool, thanks LM!

Thanks. It is useful. With a little work it might be used for a lightning bolt or ray gun discharge .....

Thanks LM. Sometimes the simplest way is the best. Useful tip.
