I have no idea what you just said but I will agree....Wtf when did I become so computer illiterate

The other option is to draw layers of waves using sin/cos trigonometry etc with a gradient bg colour, and some how gradient fill between them then animate,... similarly to how sony did... I guess that's how they did it.

I totally agree I feel like David beckham in a room with stephen Hawkins (I've got the looks but you got the brains)

Of course this doesn´t look that nice. It´s only a small loop. :D

Maybe you can do it with a video. But this isn´t an easy task. You could try the mediaplayer class or directX. I have never used these. Don´t know if overlaying videos is possible.

APNG is too big.
The best option is a video background but I don't know how to do it.

@sinsizer

I use both but I don't find any helpful information to draw into a video :/

Fair play, just trying to be constructive.
