Basically, the idea is to create a nurbs surface with a greyscale animated texture which drives all the objects : every object picks up the color of the texture right underneath and uses it as a vertical translation : up when the color is white, and down when its black. So you can get some nice effects, every object follows the texture and behaves like if its a part of an unique surface.
