I'm using fractal noise to create horizontal lines, but I'm really struggling to come up with a way of warping those lines into that shape. https://www.shutterstock.com/image-illustration/acceleration-speed-motion-on-night-road-772713379 I've played around with all the warping effects but don't seem to be getting close to what I'm after in any kind of neat way. I feel like I'm missing something really obvious as I don't usually struggle to recreate abstract imagery like this in AE, but it has been a long day! Any help much appreciated!
