For a mesh uv_mapping would be the right solution but i don't know anything
about the uv_mapping abilities of blender. i doubt this would work in this
case anyway as this is not one mesh (with its vertices moving) but one
different mesh for every frame. maybe someone else knows a solution for
this. i'm out ;-)
