Subject: help with displacement

I need to deform a surface with texture which is within moving video.  The deformation needs to look like memory foam and needs to be based on text and/or illustrations (as if a title has been pushed into foam and is slowly un-deforming back to a flat surface).  

I made a displacement map for the text and have tried mesh warp,  displacement map, path distort and DE_FreeForm but none of the results look like believable 3d z displacement. The pixels look like they are displaced in x and y, but they do not look they move or are shaded in z.

Any suggestions for either a specific technique or plugin?

Cheers
S
