Hi David,
I found this project in github:
https://github.com/jfro/BCSlidingWindowLayer

it might be a help for CoreAnimation implementation start

we could also find related implemtation from java world.
About

A CALayer class to help doing frame animation quickly by using a sliding
window (or door?) technique. This avoids something slower like calling
drawInContext frequently. So far it seems to perform pretty well with
several sprites on screen, both on iPhone & OS X.

A super simple example is included that has a basic cube rotating, animating
via a timer.
