I would like to know if there is a plug-in (or technique) within after effects that would allow me to use a collection of random low-res video clips to tile together in order to accurately describe a high-res video clip.

Well random and accurately are opposing ideas. Also it wouldn't be so much about the compositing, but instead it would be the shooting of the smaller shots in a way that will allow you to line them up to create the larger shot that would be important.

Do you mean like those sequences where thousands of still images create a pointilistic mosaic that eventually resolves into an image? Rather 20th Century but there are several old plugins that will do that if you have a database of images large enough to satisfy the pointilism filter effect. Shoot, I cannot think of a single product, though. I cannot even recall the generic name we eventually applied to this family of effects.

Ayato has an tutoria for something like that

Export the video you wish to make into a video mosaic as individual pics (tiff, jpeg) Then use a mosaci program to manually convert each fram into a mosaic. I have done it just for fun and it takes time. I could not find a program that woul dbatch a folder of pics to turn them into mosaic. I use Andrea Mosaic. Then as you make each mosaic pic number it 001,002,003 etc. Import the sequence back into AE and render.
