[P1] cartoon or animation program?

[Kim Gammelg å rd]

I think you are  either looking for an animated GIF, a Flash animation, or
perhaps even a small QuickTimemovie.

If you want to go the GIF-route, there is a freeware app here:

But if you want to go the Flash route, you probably have to buy Macromedia
Flash MX, which is kinda expensive, and a bit hard to get into.

If you have a video camera, you could probably use iMovie with some of the
filters to change the color of the liquid, I guess, and then export it as a
small QuickTime movie.

Cheers,

Kim
