have u sepparated the subjects as layers?
if you have then i'd duplicate up the layers adding different types of blur to them then maybe adding a luma keyed element and blurring that up to make it a little more organic. add the layers in sequence and then take them away in sequence as well but make the fade out faster,
maybe add a particle effect to the last few layers to disappear if u wanted to add a little razzmatazz.
Dunno if thats what you were after?
Gimme a yell if not

Thanks Craig that is exactly what I'm looking for by what I can tell. But I didn't know it was going to be quite that complex. sadly I don't know quite enough about seperating subjects into layers and Luma keying to do it yet. Unless you know of any tutorials then it looks like my project is on hold for awhile untill I can learn it. I apprciate your help Craig.

sepparating the subjects out can be as easy as creating a stopframe cutting (by masking out the duplicating the layer) the subjects out then make a freeze frame of the clip, import into photoshop and as best you can clone out the subjects, save as a jpeg or whatver, come back in and put the layer behind the masked subjects
now you have it separated, granted if you start the effect real slow the viewer may see some ahm.. problems with the background but i have sone similar things in the past with photos and they havent looked bad at all.
luma keyingis super simple for this stuff, cos all u wanna do is allow the highlights to be blurred jus apply it to the masked layers and tweak it so only the highlights are visible, then blurr the hell outta them and mayb add a little glow to finish!
use your trapcode stuff to add some particles etc and it should look ok
