Just keep drawing new ones and they will all appear on the same layer or copy and paste from illustrator or position data from another layer onto the current layer.
You would have to explicitly select a different layer then draw a mask to get make it apply to the new layer.

This is the ‘how to make a crowd’ tutorial but it shows the layers that are being talked about (The Zoom Logo).
This also shows you more about the making of the spot:

To emphasize what Dave said, I would jump up to AE7 now. It has text animators that let you do this in seconds by tweaking a few parameters.

It’s in the Particular help files that you get when you download the demo. There is a parameter in Particular where you can use a layer to spawn particles. So for example, they create the zoom art then have the particles emit in a grid based on the luminance and color in the art.

Basically in Maya, I used simple sin, cos, and noise functions to animate the lights. In Maya there is the option to generate a lens flare from real lights. This lens flare automatically dims when occluded by objects. Don’t know if it’ll do the same effect in AE because in AE your objects are flat planes whereas in Maya they were 3D objects with depth. So when a light passes behind something there is a nice rim light, etc.
It’s a good point though that AE should do like 3D apps where it generates a lensflare from it’s lights. try what you suggested for yourself. I still think to do the effect (if you indeed do want something similar to the reel intro) is to use a real 3D app. But who knows, you may get something way more awesome in AE!
