May not be as "wow"-y as you'd like, but when I did it, I used 3 Rosco
i-Pros with auroras that I made myself, and did a slow flicker/fade
between the three, creating the shimmering/moving look.  It looked
pretty good, but wish I'd had Source Four 90 degree barrels, which
didn't exist at the time.....
