Where did everyone go?

[Intbel]

Inty, Inty, Inty

That bursting star effect is really, really good, Don't tell me you moved each start individually for each frame cause I won't believe you, nobody but nobody is that crazy. I tried something the same and I selected and shift-dragged the whole works but that doesn't really explain it. Some of your stars are rising before they start falling.......Sooooooooooo, what's the secret????huh.......a wanabee

Draw a star on a path .. animate it where you want it to go.
Then used the blend tool to make mutliple copies in different places .. apply appropriate fades an' transparencies (after ungrouping everything) or ..

alternatively ...

do what I did and use PS plugin
