[Dave LaRonde] “Make the irregularities of the mask at the top and the columns in the mesh warp match up a little.”

You could create a combination of fractal noise and an animated ramp to use as a luma matte as well as a displacement map to accomplish both in one* step.

*not guaranteed to actually be one step =)
