  • Sonic Wave Effect – Like Sound/Matrix Waves

    Hi,

    I’m attempting to make what I can only describe as a sonic wave-like effect. The goal is to have a girl open her mouth and sonic waves emerge to look like she is knocking someone off their feet by yelling at them. I’d like to create some kind of visual ripple on screen, probably with a white glow or something along those lines — the whole feel of the video is very cartoon-esque so not too concerned with realism or a sci-fi feeling effect. Any suggestions or hints on tutorials would be much appreciated!

    Thanks in advance!
