I am brainstorming with myself how to go about creating the following in C4D:

Five objects in a line appear from off left of screen, one comes closer to camera then starts to spin into a tornado type fashion, with the others joining the spin effect for a few secs, before one hits camera (to fade).

Another scene has the objects pinpoint an area on screen, after the tornado effect.

So, I could align the objects to five circle splines, then animating the spin and roll (how do you do a coin roll?) of the circles to give a more random effect, though not sure about the pinpointing placement of the objects after spinning around. Unless I maybe do the animation in reverse, starting with them in position...

I am not really au faix with TP etc., any other ideas?

Thanks in advance

Well, I can't say much about TP either -
but your question "how do you do a coin roll?"
the answer you might find at this link:
