I am trying to use photoshop cs6 to create an animation that has similar effects to the animated gif ive got on this page:

can anyone tell me the tools I need to use or point me to a tutorial that can teach me, I was trying to clean up the background and isolate just the coil and the electricity but someone said it would be easier to learn the lightning and electricity effects. not sure where to start.

thanks in advance
