You may be able to animate a lens setting in LW to get a fisheye effect, which appears the same as wrapping the image on a sphere or ellipse. As a cheat, maybe you could render the anim, then re-render it front projection mapped onto a sphere of appropriate hugeness. I think adpro, IM, or imagefx have warping effects which could also do a fisheye on an animation.
