    Create a solid, and use the effect called fractal noise.

    Then add the effect called Colorama. The defaults for colorama are pretty psychadelic, but you can adjust the fractal noise settings to change the looks a little more.

    Watch this tutorial for a clearer idea of what I’m talking about:

    What is also quite psychadellic (sp?) is just the plain fractal. I forget where exactly that is (maybe Generate: Fractal?), but you can get some really crazy-looking stuff with it without doing much. And you can zoom in on it almost forever, seeing more and more detail as you get closer. Play around with it and see what you like.

    Whoa…Man… I’d try that old Photoshop Trick with Curves on a Pic you like.

    Choose a suitable background pic, (Giant close-up of Bob Marley, Janis Joplin, Grateful Dead vw bus, the crowd at a concert, products of indoor gardening (not tobacco, but you can smoke it), then drop it AE, size to taste, then Adjust>Curves (or whatever the AE7 equivalent is). Now take that little pencil on the right, and scribble up and down until you have saw teeth for a graph, and you gotta psychedelic bg. Different squiggles give different psycho-delicacies.

    Don’t forget CC Kaleida! It’s the perfect companion to fractal noise and colourama….

    I put those effects, colorama and fractal noise, on an adjustment layer over a video and got some pretty sweet effects. Thanks for the recommendation!
