I need to make a 10 sec animation of a slot machine. Pretty basic… fade the whole thing in with all three wheels already spinning, then stop and stop them one at a time… No need or it to be like one of those interactive slot machines that actually plays.

I’m having a hard time figuring out how to approach the spinning wheels. I can make them from looping movie clips, but I’m not seeing how to slow it down. Feels like I’m missing something obvious…

Any thoughts or suggestions?
