    try expressions,

    L = thisComp.layer(index+1);
    delay = 0.5;
    timeToStart = 0;
    myDelay = (index - L.index)*delay;
    t = time - (timeToStart + myDelay);
    if (t > 0){
    delta = L.transform.position.valueAtTime(t) - L.transform.position.valueAtTime(timeToStart);
    value + delta
    }else{
    value
    }

    this code will look at the posission of the layer below itself.
    (if you need the layer above, change the INDEX+1 to INDEX-1)

    delay = 0.5;
    will hold 0.5 seconds bevore it follows, change the value as needed!

    timeToStart = 0;
    will delay the start… change as needed!

    I think i have this code from Dan Ebberts’s
    (motionscript.com)
    but i am not shure, pardon me if i am misstaken

    ##

    – Make a square (or whatever)
    – Make a Animation, as seen in the clip you Linked
    – Duplicate ONCE & aply the code
    – Duplicate the one square that now has the code N times.
    – Distribute as needed
    – hit render / preview…

    hope this helps!!
