The lightning was generated using the standard PPro effect under 'render'.
And the little cat wobble at the end (that is the part that seals the effect for me

) was done using Matrox Bulge - a brand new Matrox realtime effect released only a month or so ago.
That's about it really. It took me a couple of hours.
