Talking Hand for iPhone: tech-talk

My idea is to take photos of a real hand and animate it in a stop-motion manner.
I think there should be these frames:
-Open/Close "mouth": 25 frames
-Idle closed "mouth": 15 frames
There might be some other custom moves the hand will be able to do in time. -I get back to that later.

To make this look nice my key word is "noise":
-The hand should have little movements in the x/y-coordinates.
-There should be a filter on top of the hand image to distort it.
-There should be multiple background layers that move with paralax to give sense of depth in the image.

Also I will make the transitions between the frames be smooth: by this I mean that I will fade the next frame in on top of the old one -before- i fade the old frame out.
