This mini-tutorial shows you how to use After Effects' CC Radial Blur to create beams of light.
There's loads of "how to make a hologram" AE tutorials on YouTube, but they all seem to miss out the beams from the projector. This mini-tutorial shows you how to use several CC Radial Blurs and Expressions to achieve responsive, changing beams of light.
I’ve published a different method, you can see that one here: https://youtu.be/C2JZyU73nzI

Expression used:
L = thisComp.layer("Emitter");
L.toWorld([thisComp.width/2-transform.position[0],thisComp.height/2-transform.position[1],0]);
