Wondering if anyone can suggest how to accomplish this... 

I want to create an effect similar to that in shows such as "Saved by the bell" etc, when someone has a big close up smile and the teeth "twinkle" with a "ting" sound. 

Another example (actually closer to the effect I'm after - although slightly different) is the sparkling letters used in the Lucasfilm intros. 

I've experimented a little with animating the size of the lens flare, but it doesn't really give the desired results. I guess I want a more "starry" effect. 

Any suggestions are very appreciated...
