It is important to note that the flicker on the skeleton image is not causing the skeleton to flicker BUT it is causing the mask that is REVEALING the skeleton to flicker. The mask is a radial gradient made of colors of variable transparency. This gradient mask allows the “light” to be brighter in the center and fade out towards the edges. Furthremore, the skeleton image is staying still but the mask is jerking back and forth to simulate the effect of a shaky hand holding a flashlight.
