    What I remember is that they used Trapcodes Particular for the job.

    Yeah, it’s definitely particles. Don’t think you need Particular though. Looks like a simple stream of simple white particles that are dense enough to look like a stream of light. I bet if you played around with CC Particle World and got the physics right and add a bluish glow on them, you could get extremely close to this.

    Geesh, and no one believed me when I suggested to use particles to simulate old video tubes smearing 🙂
