I'm trying to wrap my head around layers in Blender, and how they work.  I'm would like to make the scene with particles.  A teleport movie effect.  Something like,( beam me up Scotty), in Star Trek.
Here are some examples of what I would like to do:

This is a nice effect, but I think they used a different application.

This I like.  I do believe it can be done in Blender.

This one seems to be simpler, I figured I would start with something like this.  The reason I was wondering about opacity in Blender.  I figured I would take the subject, and put him on his own layer.  Then reduce the opacity on that layer.  While at the same time, introducing particles on another layer.  I was thinking though, I also need a layer of the background.
 I seen something also done with masking.  Perhaps I should look into that.
