To be honest I'm not sure how it works either - but I have a little idea.
I copied the whole BeefyMiracle theme a while back and just grepped the name
out of all the text files and replaced with FedoraJam - no package submitted
yet - this will eventually point to the backgrounds as well and be included
by default on the kickstart.
Happy for you to request access via the Music Creation group in FAS, and you
can update as you see fit.
A link to the animations you can find here:

You can try searching for theme generators for it on kde-look (I remember
there being a few scripts).
For easier theme creation, you can use ksplashqml instead, it is much more
pleasant - reflections and all are rather trivial to do.
Cheerio,
Ivan

I probably wont have much time to look at doing this till mid October,
which probably doesn't line up well with release deadlines. ksplashqml
is in F18 and does look a bit easier. Doing them manually is
plausible, but I'm not sure when I'd be able to find the time.
