neo vs. smith ripple effect?

[kene555]

ok we're doin' a Matrix-esque movie.

you know in the movie how neo and smith are facing each other in the rain, they run in slo-mo, and punch each other. the force of their punches makes them fly backwards, and there's a distortion effect. I have Adobe After Effects 6.5. Does anyone know which plug-in would best match this effect?

thanks

all i can say is have fun.....

if you're talking about distortion in the air, use displacement mapping with a wavy texture.
if you talk about neo's face getting distorted from the strenght of the punch, well this effect was done in cgi, so animate a distorted face using your favorite 3d program, and composite it over your actors face in AE.
