Yes! I finally had a few minutes and finished this test using Adobe After Effects CS6 and Action Essentials 2 
Please let me know what you think and what mistakes you saw. This was so much fun!

That was pretty good. First off, the animation was pretty smooth. Good job with the blending mode for the flames. The tracking on his hands could use a little more work though. And another nuance that would really sell the effect is adding a little glow that comes from the flames and reflects on him and his surroundings (walls, floor, etc.). Overall, you did a good job with it.
I liked it, the base footage and the flames looked good together, and it was much better then most I have seen on youtube.
Thanks for the feedback guys! I noticed the sharpness was too high...after I filmed it 
and that last arm movement was way out of sync compared to the flames 
@MouseDroid I really didn't think of the reflections and glow...oh well, it is a test after all. I'm new to After Effects, but have used GIMP for years so I have a little bit of an idea of what I'm doing. I'll have to find some tutorials and make that better...
