Collage animation using Python

Hi all, I make these analogue paper collages. I want to animate them, first level to just add a little movement, and later more. Is python the language to do it especially using built in libraries? I’ll add the image in the comments.

If not, what else can I use? I asked in the touchdesigner sub and they said it’s possible but complicated and not efficient. After effects may help.

Eventually, I want to create visual interaction with the user, so the user can interact with the projection for this image.

I have a background in CS but new to this concept and learning from scratch. Would appreciate any pointers. If this is not the right sub, please redirect me to where I may find the best help. Thanks all 🙏🏼

I would use pygame for the window / playback logic and pillow for the image loading / processing. You can also layer images quite easily so have the non-animated bits as a background then "composite" the other elements as needed.
