The movie clip above (I've just added the link - check it out) was made using the filter from negative1's post.
The photo I posted in my first post (noone noticed it?) was altered with some demo version of a Photoshop plugin.
The movie clip I made 6 (or so) years ago was made using some old filter for Adobe Premiere (quicktime something?, I can't remember now, and I seem to have lost the old files). It was posted here, but the posts from 2003 are gone.
