5 frames ain't gonna do it! But… make your pool a flat surface with a self- illuminated orange materials. Go rent T2 and study the scenes with the molten metal at the end. (That was backlit plastic). Once you have the pool, add some bursting bubbles. Rent Fantasia and study the bubbles bursting in the Dino portion. (I remember seeing a Disney special when I was a kid where the animators studied bubbling mud for that.) You need to create one bursting bubble sequence, and then duplicate it and vary its effect in time. To make the bubble, I'd probably start with a sphere that scaled up, and then use Hide keys to switch to two or three models of the burst bubble (looks a little like a crown). You might also use a slowly changing animated texture map for the surface of the pool. – Jack
