Hasta La Motion!

Now this is what I want to do: I want to turn a picture into say 8X8 squares (horizontally and vertically) and I want each square to rotate on its own. How would I pull this off?

PERSONALLY I would just cut my picture into those pieces (that could be a lot of work) and then make each one a 3d layer and spin each one around that way.

NOW the problem is my method might be a lot of work and I need to be able to replace the picture with ANY picture which wouldn’t work with my method it seems.

Got any idea?

I’m already toying around with the Shatter tool but I’ve no idea how to make parts spin around that way on their own. This also might be a completly wrong way and you might have a better idea.
