Casey Latiolais has had some other very useful tutorials in the past. Camera Mapping for Easy Parallax in C4D offered a look at adding some life into a simple 2D image by using camera mapping techniques in Cinema 4D.

Casey also showed how to create a pencil that draws on a line in After Effects, that used techniques drawn from a project of his.
