Pepsi Animation expressions?
I am not up to speed yet on expressions, however, a client has requested a treatment that looks like it could possibly be done in a more timely manner with expressions rather than animating with key frames. I could be way off base by this assumption but I thought it was worth a shot. The treatment comes from the pepsi website. One object in the center with other objects rotating around it in a 3D space. The only thing I would like to make slightly different is to make the objects blur as they go to the back of the circle and enlarge and come into focus as they come into the foreground. Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Here is the link to the pepsi site.

I think you can do this pretty easily without expressions. Just arrange your 3D layers in a ring, add a 3D null at the center of the ring, and make it the parent of the other layers. Add a camera, enable the Camera’s depth of field, set the aperature pretty high (several hundred, maybe) and set the focus distance so the layers close to the camera are in focus. Select all your graphic layers and turn on Auto Orient (Layer > Transform > Auto-Orient > Orient Towards Camera). Now all you need to do is keyframe the Y Rotation of the null. I think that’s it.
