Distortion Blur, Uh... distortion blur. Options

Ok to get what I mean you should have played some kind of RTS modern game like C&C3 Kane's Wrath. Basically I'd like to play an explosion animation and have that animation have a distortion blur that takes place like most of the explosions in Kane's Wrath. This may not even be possible but it'd provide some cool animation features if it could be done.

Anyways, if anyone has any thoughts on this or wants to attempt this please comment. This should be for VX.

Well it would require quite a bit of artistic talent, I'd think. But with animations you can have blur like effects that distort the part of the screen they hit. The problem I would see, is since they are based on battle animations, getting to be the right size might be a problem. You'd have to make the animation using photoshop or SAI to get the right amount of visibility and still have a distortion. I know it is possible, I just don't know if I have the talent to show you XD

Well I have Photoshop but I don't know how to distort the map (blur it slightly) with an animation. You have normal, add, and subtract blending options in RMVX. Maybe I'm missing something.
