Need help with animating an appearance of a hose

[arturs73452037]

Somebody, please help me! I need your advice. How can I make this hose, which is in png format, to be animated in a way that it would appear from his lower end to upper end, repeating the shape? Thanks a lot for your replies!

1. Create a mask for the hose and change the mask as needed to show more of the hose.

2. Segment the hose into a number of pieces as separate pngs. Add a segment as needed to show show the hose growing in length.

3. Draw individual images of the hose at different lengths to show it growing in length and have the hose move horizontally and vertically.
