  flickering line animation

  Hi!

  I’m posting this both in PSD and AE forums – because I presume that solution could be hidden in those two softwares.

  So this is what I have created with PSD and AE:

  and the question is:

  how to simplify process od creation those quasi animated flickering lines in not moving objects (“living” outlines, so to speak).
  
  I usually use PSD to create three layers – each drawn from scratch – and loop them in AE. But when it comes to more complex objects (like in my actual project when I have to DRAW three loop stages for 28 seriff letters!!) it would be good to use some filter. I would like to draw one drawing, and aply a filter on it, to create second, and than third loop stage layer. This filter should distort the line a bit, so it could flicker.

  I’ve tried some of distortion filters included in PSD, but those lacks RANDOMNESS – it’s allways the same pattern of distortion.

  So do you have some clues? My soul would be 10 years younger if I could use such a miracle filter 🙂 OR maybe it’s not a filter? Maybe action? Or somethin’?

  Thanks in advance, Micz
