There is nothing in that video that cannot be recreated with simple keyframes, some speed adjustments (ease out) a comp camera with a normal (50mm) or slightly longer lens and a knowledge of AE's 3D space.
Expressions and scripts can help with alignment and the falling motion. I didn't see any bending but I did see lighting effects and camera moves.
The most efficient way to approach this project would be to decide on the output size of your final product, then prepare all of the images you'll use by cropping and resizing to their ideal size for the project (somewhere at an effective 100% scale somewhere in the project), and adding the white border if desired.
The second step is to decide on which images would be in each shot and divide the shots up into separate comps. This kind of project is not suited to doing everything in one composition. You create each shot individually, then either render them all and edit them in Premiere Pro or combine all of the comps in a master comp to add the transitions and render the final project.
Since you have no real idea about how the effect was achieved I would guess that it will take you a couple of months of fairly decent study and experimentation to recreate the video. Videohive advertises that this template does not require any 3rd party plug-ins so you could do it, as I suspected, entirely by hand. Their template probably requires image preparation, some kind of naming convention, and loading a bunch of images in a specific folder.
I hope this helps.
