connecting randomly moving shapes/words together by lines in 3d space
Hi – I’m not sure if this query should be posted in the expressions forum but I’ve seen this particular technique used in a lot of motion graphics clips and I’m unsure how its done. Between 4-11 secs in this clip on the left hand side of the screen there are 5-6 country names connected together by lines. The country names move in 3d space (I think randomly) and the lines connecting the words together grow/shrink keeping the words bound together.

I suppose it could be done via Expressions, but Plexus seems to be the standard solution for complex line/shape attachment techniques:
That said, there are some other scripts which are less expensive, but not as robust – here’s a free one from MotionBoutique, the genius behind Newton:
