I am a newbie still with Swish but have some of the basic masking
principles down. I am trying to duplicate this effect i found online

and try as I might I can't get it to work. I am able to get kinda like one motion but that's it..Any help would be cool

Those effects are created with flash --if you want to try to copy the effects you could make your rectangles and then go to the shape panel
and make your rectangles about 30 percent transparent. Then make your
motions using move effects.
Here's a good tutorial on move effects--------

The transitions between graphics are move effects also. You should probally start with a photo and play around with it untill you get the idea.

Look at the Beach template on this page and start trying to mimick it. Their are also some others you can mimick at swishsites.

actually it is a couple of masked sprites using the same picture.
one sprite has the background placed at a certain percentage. and so on.

Here is an example
