Some of you have asked me for a tutorial on how to do create the illusion of an infinite zoom in the clouds, so here it is. It's my first tutorial, I hope it's clear. Let me know if you have questions.

Summary:
➤  Get pictures of clouds
➤  Mask them in AE
➤  Turn all into 3D layers and arrange in Z space
➤  Create a camera and zoom

Useful keyboard shortcuts:
➤  CTRL + Shift + H  - show/hide layer controls
➤  CTRL + →  -  move one frame to the right
➤  CTRL + ←  -  move one frame to the left
➤  arrow keys - move one increment in a particular direction
➤  Shift + arrow keys - move 10 increments in a particular direction
➤  CTRL +  -/+ (numpad) - scale up or down by 1
➤  CTRL + Shift +  -/+ (numpad) - scale up or down by 10
➤  +/- (numpad) - rotate one or the other direction
