One thing I forgot that may seem self explanitory, You need to animate the head with key frames. and the body parts need to be in order from head to tail. this is because each layer will follow behind the one on top of it (index -1).

if you add thease expressions to all layers in your dragon but the Leader (probably the head). and cread a solid Titled “Dragon Control” and add the slider effect to it. now your body parts will follow the motion of the head of the dragon. you can adjust the follow distance with the slider on the dragon control layer(by the way you should make this layer invisible) .

Position expression:
thisComp.layer(index-1).position.value_at_time(time-thisComp.layer(“Dragon conrol”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”))

Rotation expression
thisComp.layer(index-1).rotationY.value_at_time(time-thisComp.layer(“Dragon conrol”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”))

Note:this teqnique was taught to me By Ben Ungren, a toutorial contributor on creative cow, he taught this to me in his after effects cource At brigham Young University. He, however, learned this from some one else. I’d like to give credit but i have no Idea who to.

well you could use time remaping and set a keyframe on the frame you want to freeze then hit control+ right arrow. to go over one frame then set another ket frame and drag it out to as far as you want the duration of the frame to be.
