A simple-looking, but complex effect.

The hand texture was created by combining a still frame of the wrist, palm, and four fingers with a stabilized, rolling footage version of the thumb.

This new video element was then used as a live-action texture map applied to a custom-built 3D model of a hand.

The CG hand was then animated (with some life-like jitter added) and combined with the CG Purell gel.
