How to create this effect?

[Helgi Johannsson]

I’m guessing it’s probably Trapcode Shine(trapcode.com) and Fractal Noise mixed together.

Well I’m guessing there might be more than a little Shine used in this one :oD

Try creating a fast moving, high contrast fractal noise layer in one comp, then use masks in another comp to make the strokes, and apply Shine with the Boost Light setting slightly increased (keep the Ray Length setting low). It looks like the Electric setting has been used at it’s default color.
