Look up how to set keyframes. You can use that to animate the start and end position of your lightning.

Roughen edges, maybe.

Well, I’d be tempted to flat-out animate it.
I guess you could try one of those existing bouncing ball expressions, take every constant built into the expression and pick-whip it to a slider value. Then you have to change the sliders every moment the ball gets kicked.

A SWF file might be a lot smaller as long as you did only animation that’s reproducible with the Flash player.

Well, in the actual Se7en movie, they used an optical printer and beat it up while it was running.
In After Effects, I could try to emulate the look by playing with blur, levels, position, distortion effects, and applying some fast wiggle and random expressions to all of them.
I’ve also had a fun time printing titles out on card stock, taping it to a rocking chair and taking a bunch of photos of it.

What if you put the anchorpoint in the nose of the fish and then parented each one to the one that precedes it?
Then the position will take care of itself and you need only to animate the rotation.

The part you’ll replace is the value of ‘w’
You can select that part and pick-whip it to any other value you want.

You could use .valueAtTime() like in this example, only in your point of interest, so there’s a slight delay to your camera following the object. That might look a little more natural.
Here’s an attempt at faking some acceleration in expression form:

For magnifying, I would just increase the scale of the colour layer, and add an expression to the anchor point, which I would pick whip to the position of the magnifying bar.

There are different colour types for PNG files. You might be thinking of the indexed colour type PNGs which are more like GIF files.
But PNGs can also use up to 16 bit colour, which I find is good enough for most purposes.
