Need help for Matrix Bullet Dodge scene recreation

I think most of us are familiar with the matrix movies and especially with the stunning visual effects!

I want to recreate the Bullet Dodge scene. The only problem I'm facing is how to create the bullet trails. Is it possible to accomplish that within photoPhot or will I have to use some other program? Below are some examples of the vulleb trails:

It doesn't have to be exactly the same, just that kind of transparent sound wave distortion thing.

Thanks in advance!

Hi

You could try something like this.

I started with an oval brush and used fade in shape dynamics to make a stroke which faded in size. I then duplicated that layer and flipped it to make the pattern below which I then turned into a separate brush using Edit - Define brush preset.

I duplicated the image and added a Ripple filter along with Bevel&Emboss and Inner Glow layer effects.

I added a mask and used the brush created previously to draw on the mask, revealling the distorted layer

Finally a look up adjustment layer  to get the green look
