refracting shockwave around character? Can AE do this?

[Bo Howe]

This is not perfect, but is a version I just finished (after many hours of trial and error).

This is obviously not exactly the way they have it on the show, but is, I think, a decent start in the right direction hehe.

If you’ve not by now found a way to do it, and you like this one, let me know and I’ll try to explain how I did it.

Good Luck either way
