Hi Dale,
yes, moving the camera makes sense. To place the layers in space randomly, the wiggle expression can be very helpful. If you set the frequency to 0, they won’t move.
wiggle(0,500)
for example, will place all layers up to 500px away from their original position (in each dimension) and keep them on that random position. So if they initially all have the same position, after applying the expression they form a ’swarm’ around that position after applying the expression.
If you want to control their placement in X,Y, and Z independently, you could use the separate Wiggle 3D iExpression, for example.

Hi all. I want to do an animation whereby the camera appears to fly into a 'swarm' of record album covers (I have jpegs of them in a folder). I'm guessing that it would be more efficient to animate just the camera and not the albums... correct? If anyone has any short cut suggestions... or know of a template or plug-in for 'camera flying through a swarm of artwork' type effect, please let me know.
Thanks,
-dB
