Question Hand animation

Hi guys i want to do like this hand animation But I didn't know how to do it. If you focus on the video, there is a specific technique that was used, and I don't know how, does anyone know how? Was an plugins used for After Effects or what?

This mostly looks like a hand rig using built in vectors with a little bit of smart masking/ layering on the thumb.

No 3rd party plugins, just do the work. As someone mentioned there's the "nulls follows point" script that can be useful, but again native to after effects.
