How do I run a custom animated bootscreen?

I want to create a new splash theme for Ubuntu 11.10 using a volcano theme, so when it boots the volcano erupts with lava (same for shutdown). Now I have my image (png) but obviously it does not animate. I looked at the solar plymouth theme and I was thinking since the animation is there I can check it but no luck.

Is there a tool or a script I need to use to animate my volcano?

The image looks like this:

volcanotheme

I've already got the animated image, I'm just wondering how I can make it run at startup.

I Found what I need:

HorizontalAlignment=.25

VerticalAlignment=.5

Transition=merge-fade

TransitionDuration=.5

Look at these videos:

[Plymouth Theme]

Name=Bizcom Glow

Description=Corporate theme with pie chart boot progress followed by a glowing emerging logo

ModuleName=two-step



[two-step]

ImageDir=/lib/plymouth/themes/glow

HorizontalAlignment=.25

VerticalAlignment=.5

Transition=merge-fade

TransitionDuration=.5

It loads the files:

progress-00.png to progress-32.png

and

throbber-00.png to throbber-19.png

To create the animation.
