  They look pretty syynthetic to me – animated masks with the Roughen Edges effect on top of them. Should work for you as well, though personally I’d probably prefer shooting some real ink blots.

  mylenium cheers for ur answer… would u animate the expansion of the mask with the roughen edges above or keyframe the change of the mask shape using smart mask interpolation….do u think this will give a smooth feeling??? well the example from youtube is quite bad quality but guess that the full quality result is quite smooth, don

  Hi

  i would take advantage of the power of Gradient Wipe.
  Create in Photoshop a white gradient matte.Create a new layer and fill it with black. Next, select the brush tool (B). Set your brush color to white+opacity to 30 and choose a grungy type brush tip.
  Start painting with your grunge brush,solid black areas of the transition layer will show first, white will show last.
