Animated water effect?

Is it possible to create something like this with imagemagick?
Probably use vanishing point, but what about the animation, the water?

this website is offering an online service where you upload your picture and it transforms it.
Thank you

It is posible, but needs to be worked out.
I would generate a wave of intensities, probably using -fx. then add perspective to that using -distort (very latest IM) and use the result as a displacement map for a 'flipped' image.
That is what I would try for a first attempt, but I have not done so.
At the moment I am too busy improving the distort image warping function
especially for perspectives involving an horizon.
This will probably be read in a few weeks.
If you do try something report it,here. success or failure.

Thanks for the info Anthony.
After spending some more time looking around on the internet, I found a php class which produces this effect with the GD module.
The class can be downloaded here:

I'm planning to go through that class and see how the programmer did it, then try to port it so it works with imagemagick.
