How to create a rustling bush effect

Question

Hey all,

I am very new to After Effects and was just wondering if anyone knows a technique on how to make a rusling effect? I understand there is a effect called CC Bend It, however I want to make a agressive shaking, less ordered effect instead of the ordered swaging CC Bend It provides.

Thanks,

Adam

It depends on the image. If you can get the bush with transparency on a separate layer you can use an animated Fractal noise effect on another layer as a displacement map. I have done this kind of thing lots of times to simulate everything from wormholes to shockwaves, to earthquakes. it just takes a good animated displacement map.

Show us the image you are working with and somebody will probably be able to give you a detailed step-by-step.
