I suspect, you would want as narrow a beam width as possible, maybe 5 - 10
degree.
A fixed gobo with multiple small holes in a group, plus a gobo rotator with
some sort of breakup pattern might produce a nice effect.

Another possibility is a slightly defocused laser. To smooth up the motion a
bit, mount it on a damped motion movie tripod.
