For the teleport effect I wanted Luca to go up into the air transforming into squares. As I am not used to After Effects I instead used Flash to animate the effect.
I traced over a screenshot of Luca teleporting away. I then split the silhouette into segments using a grid and placed them in there own layers. I then shape tweened these into squares and motion tweened them up.
Using software called Swivel, I converted the SWF into a Quicktime video so I could use it in After Effects.
I then made a solid mask to create a yellow overlay on Luca, which I faded in when he is hit by the beam. Finally I added a little 3-D movement in the teleport effect to make it look a but more interesting.
