Repeat this filter, just so there aren't any gaps on our canvas :)

Distance – 200 px

Duplicate this layer

Have one above the rectangle layer

and one above the big circle layer

select each of them and press delete so that it's filled with the motion blurred layer

Delete the originals of both of those layers

On the rectangle layer

Now go to the bottom layer of the big circle

Add your tube to the big circle at various sizes and positions

Erase any that is outside of the big circle

Merge them all together

If you're not wanting to animate hide the white layer and save to your liking, you're done!

If you want to animate let's continue

Duplicate the bottom rectangle layer we made 4 times

(I always have an extra 5^th on in case I don't like it or just want to keep in unanimated layer)

On the bottom one

Filter → Eye Candy 4000 → HSB Noise

With the following settings:

Repeat this for the other 3 layers, clicking random seed on each

Then you're going to go to your animation window and have all but the first one hidden

Add a new animation layer and hide the first layer and unide the second

Add another hide the second, unhide the third

Add another layer hide the third, unhide the fourth

Set to go forever, delay of .2 sec

Press play

If you're happy with your animation save as a .gif and you're done!!
