The most fun part of this is animating it when I’m done. I use shape tweens to create a simple glitter effect movie clip, just a few dots fading their opacity in rapid cycles and scattered over the movie. The wings are the hardest parts to animate; I can’t shape tween distortions in perspective and rotation as they flap, so I have to use the Free Transform Tool and the Transform Panel to adjust the width and the angle of rotation one frame at a time.
The stars are a motion tween assigned to a path on a guide layer, with tweened rotation and easing to control the speed as the stars swoop through various loops.
