I used a combination of these to make it work. I placed two copies of the image on top of each other, and animated them as one (i needed to move around the image). When the animation came to a stop I inserted a circle matte over the eye on the top image, then I sandwiched a bezier mattes of both the upper and lower lid in between the two images and brought them together for two frames and then removed them.
It’s a little hacky but it got a laugh and a “nice wink” response. Victory.
Thanks for all the help.
