I’ve got a comp with a camera flying forward while slowly rotating in Z through a 3D scene (title sequence). I want text layers to be offset from the camera in front. That’s easy:
thisComp.layer("Camera 1").transform.position + [0,0,250]
thisComp.layer("Camera 1").transform.zRotation – 90
But I want the text layers to be moving slightly off-speed with respect to the camera, camera slowly catches up and passes them, so a variable offset if you will. And nice if further offset could be tied to opacity (far away would fade in).
I could manually do this of course but wondered if there was some cool way to do it with expressions.

A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.
–Stanley Kubrick
