CreativeCow’s Andrew Kramer has posted an Adobe After Effects tutorial on how to duplicate the color streaking used in Apple’s latest iPod Nano commercials. It’s a hot effect, and Kramer’s tutorial makes it fairly simple to accomplish. Note that he uses Trapcode’s Particular plugin to accomplish the effect.

As a bonus, you get to hear Andrew sing. “Listen, listen to the music, yeah…” (The track Apple uses is The Audience Is Listening Theme Song by Cut Chemist, available at iTunes)
