Pile-Shuffle Images Animation

I have several images piled up on top of each other in a fan-like pattern (as in fanning a card shuffle). I'm wanting to create an animation that brings certain images to the top of the pile and shifts the rest down a level - like this:

That example costs 10$:

I'm considering purchasing it, but I have absolutely no idea whether it would work for images.

The perspective effect as well as the 3D environment is delicious and would work great for my project, but it isn't essential.

Please could you guys advice me on the route I should take,

thanks
