    2 different white solid layers each with their own mask.

    One is the pour… one is the water that is filling up.

    Then animate the mask paths to do what you want.

    Done.

    The higher they fly… the much.

    create a new solid and then create a mask that will reveal about half that solid. then try an effect like turbulent displace, ripple or wave warp and you should start to get something similar.

    then it’s just a matter of manipulating the settings to get the kind of water movement that you want.

    I do this with a series of overlapping swoopy shape layers which rotate back and forth at different rates, and are all parented together to move up with the reveal of the a shape filling the glass.
