Good morning Adobe Community!

I am fairly new to After Effects and trying to create a repeating oncentric circle rabbit hole effect from scratch.

 

I have been using Turbulent displace but I am struggling to create the disired effect which is simialr to this

Is there a better way to do this? And add the distortion to the plain concentric circles as my circles seem to pulse and the shape flexes and I want to keep the spacing more equal between the circles as they expand out.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Matt

This is really cool thank you, is there a way to make each of the circles more unique each time or do I need to animate each one separately or can AfterEffects generate the variable stroke width and shape for me?
