Harry potter teleportation effect

[Boris Le Hachoir]

I would like to recreate the teleportation effect in harry potter and the distortion on the whole screen.
Would you have an idea of which effect, plugin or script I should use?

I put you the video reference in attachment

That was probably constructed in Nuke using optical flow analysis and guiding the transitions with splines and tracker points as pins. You'd have to buy RevisionFX's RE:Flex and Twixtor Pro to even get close to being able to manipulate AE content with that level of control. That said, since it's super fast and a lot of things barely register, you can probably create the illusion with AE's distortion effects liek Mesh Warp, the puppet tool and a bit of Turbulent Displace to wobble things up and then add simple cross fades here and there. It will only require to isolate individual regions of the image with masks to be able to treat them differently.
