Creative Animate my hand (video or GIF) - Magic on Platform 9 3/4 King's Cross

Hello, I know animation on still pictures can be done in Photoshop. So I'd like if someone can animate my right hand (that I'm holding up) as if I'm waiving it around creating a magic spell. No need to add a wand (unless you feel like it). I'd really love if you can animate the hand in a motion like the GIF I added from a Digimon clip below (Beelzemon drawing a star in the sky) glyph. If you could do it just like that and overlay that glyph (or make your own lines) that'd be awesome. :wizard:

Hey. I haven't forgotten about this, I just haven't had the chance to really work on it.

I really enjoy GIF challenges, but free time is at a premium for me. Here's where I am so far......

Note: I don't see any real easy method to animate your hand movement without reference photos of your hand/arm in up, down, left, right positions. Or maybe you flicking a wand in those positions.

Love it. I hadn't thought about the different hand positions. Since the hand is already blurred giving it a little motion in the picture, I could add a bit of "Shake" to the original photo in Premiere which would further add motion, then overlay your GIF on top. :cool:

I love what you've done so far. I could even pause the gif/video clip when the glyph is fully drawn, and brighten the lines (during the shake sequence) as if it's powering up.
