IGMP Snooping L2

Ever been a CCNA and all of a sudden you're expected to be applying CCIE level commands to a top secret facility...
So, I have been tasked with enabling qty. 125 4k cameras to be setup with multi-casting. After doing a little research I found out I need to enable my L3 (L3 Cisco 4500) as a querier and my other switches as just IP IGMP Snooping 'vlan id'. I ran it a couple times in the lab, and I can get all the cameras (VLC Players multicasting hehe) to communicate in the right vlan without sending IGMP messages to other vlans in the same L2. I still feel like I dont understand the protocol as much as I could though. Could someone please link me some helpful documentation (Looked at Cisco docs "eyes burning") that will help me understand this more, or help elaborate the L2 multicasting.

ps. I also saw some documentation on PIM if theres a router involved, is this necessary?
My top. is just L2 2960s at the edges and a L3 4500 >> asa >> into a MOE to the circuit.

If you need me to supply more info, as I'm a noobie please tell me.

Thank you,

mr.comfortably
