I'm interested in making a little animated, glistening colored streamer that flies into the lower third from right to left and upon which the interviewees' names fade into...and then flies out after the name/info fades out...kind of like a ribbon...

In the biz we call those "lower thirds" and AE comes with dozens of suitable presets so be sure to look in Bridge. Creating a ribbon is difficult because AE is not a true 3D modeler. Making curved objects is easy but making them fold back upon themselves is almost, not quite, impossible.
Try searching the forum archives and the AE tutorials for "ribbon" and you'll find a few helpful places to start.
