Hi

We had a quite similar effect in one of our movies...

You can find the making-of this effect in the "effect-archive" on our site... Maybe this'll help you...

I saw an article where someone used a very simple illustration program to do this effect. They drew blue lighting bolt shaped lines coming from a single point then used a blur tool on the lines to soften them, then they layered it over a section of film showing a man with his hand near an electrical outlet so the blured lines looked like they were coming out from the outlet. For such a simple technique it looked pretty good.

All times are ET (US)
