Tube of choice, mine is by Ken Morton and used with a CDO license
Font(s) of choice, mine is Ren & Stimpy
Filters Xero Titanium
You should have some knowledge of working with layers for this.

Open a new canvas, 600x250 and paste your tube as a new layer. If it's a long vertical tube you want to rotate it by 90 degrees. Make a few duplicates of that layer and move them around until your canvas is covered. Merge visible. You can of course do this in one step with Mura Meister Copies, but my understanding is, that a lot of people cannot get it to work anymore with newer software. Blur/ radial Blur with the settings below.

Now make 2 duplicates of this layer. Make the bottom one active, hide the other two for now. Appply Xero Titanium at default. Make the middle one active and visible and apply the filter again, slide the frequency to 51. And on the 3rd layer set the frequency to 52.
Paste your tube as a new layer, give it a dropshadow.

Find a quote to go with your tube and add it using two colours from your tube. Appply the following Inner Bevel. And a dropshadow.

Add a new layer on top, select all, modify/contract by 10 and invert. Make a gradient from your two font colours and floodfill the selection. Add the same inner bevel and also a dropshadow if you like. Deselect.
Add all credits legibly. Add your name, I used the same colours, but swapped them.

HIde the two top background layers, copy merged and paste as a new animation in AS, back in PSP, unhide the second background layer, copy merged and paste after current frame in AS. Do the same with the third frame. In AS, make frame two active, copy it and make frame 3 active, paste after current frame.
Edit/Select all, Animation/frame properties, set to 22. Save as gif.

For my second example I used the art of Gennadiy Koufay with my CILM license. Unfortunately his art is not availabe for usage at the moment for those that do not have a license and tubes from CILM. :o(
The font is Long Cool Mother.
