Can someone please help???

It’s not hard to do in a 3D app, you don’t need extensive knowledge for that but you do need some knowledge. May be a bit difficult task for a first project but if you can get someone to help you it shouldn’t be too hard. Of course it also depends on the quality you’re after. If you need pointers to get started, let me know.

Doing it in AE is actually harder, if not impossible. If you can get away with an abstract ribbon rather than an actual filmstrip, consider using particles: animate a null to fly around your layers, then make it an emitter for a stream of dense, monochromatic particles set to 0 velocity. If you use Trapcode you should be able to set your layers to obscure the particle trail when it is wrapping behind (it doesn’t happen automatically, you need to tell Particular about those layers). Later you can use the ribbon as a track matte for something more elaborate, but getting a film strip this way is going to be very hard.

If you want to be a professional motion graphics artist nowadays, and you’re not in a shop that has a 3D specialist, you need to learn how to use a 3D application. The COW gets questions almost every day asking how to achieve a 3D effect in AE. Some effects are impossible to achieve in AE alone, and others would take a day to accomplish in AE, but would take 5 minutes to create using a 3D app.

Start with Cinema 4D. Who knows, you may even stop there — it’s a fine app.

Now Zaxwerks Invigorator can do a lot with solid objects, and many artists have made it the cornerstone of their success. But if you want to set up a complex 3D scene, even if the objects are abstract graphics, you’ll run up against its limitations pretty quickly. And it doesn’t do those popular ribbons and tubes very well. 🙂

Just my opinion …
