creating star trek fx beaming in

[jimstamos]

doing a spoof on star trek.
need some ideas on some type of particle fx transition when im beaming someone in/out.
easy part is shooting the shot with noone in it , then inserting them. i know i can dissolve them in so will appear, but theres got to be a way having them come in more creatively mimicking the startrek beaming in method
dont have after fx.
