Starbuck--this could be done quite easily. If you can find an animated gif of the runner you want or borrow some html from a website you can define an HTML region to appear on any item (like an image or movie file). See "background" in the user's guide for details or online here:

I could help you if you get stuck at all. Bottom line--no, not a lot of effort.
