When Animating, how do we only move the parent of an object without the children moving along its parent? I was wondering if there was a solution for this. As you can see in the picture below, I parented all the objects to the empty object. However, when trying to move the empty object towards the selected sphere the objects move along with it. 



So how do we only move the parent to the selected sphere without the objects being moved when trying not clearing its parent?
Need the parenting to rotate multiple sphere and also move it around to create another formation while animating. Something like the picture below
