For everyone else looking for the original energy wave, and not apparently being answered via forum, I found it. If you go to the page where you can downloag the project ( http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/energy_wipe/ ) there is a very tiny tutorial note that says refer to tutorial 77 (soul Removal is the title)
also here is the link:http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/soul_removal/

Love that energy revealing effect.
