How to recreate this effect for the in game screen?

[rpgmakerxp]

A long time ago I played a game called Dragon warrior monsters.  I liked the "warping" effect that warped the whole screen.  Though I'd like to be able to create my own variations of this.


What I want to know is how to make something like this? Was it made with a video of some sort? Was there something altered to make the screen appear that way?


If it requires a unique plugin just provide me with what exactly needs to be altered, I don't mind learning how to recreate something like this.


Here is what it looks like from start(before touching the portal) to finish.

Hey,


I think this can be reproduced with WebGL filters. There is at least one plugin out there:




I hope this helps
