I dont mean short gestures, those gestures were fine length wise, just 
your arm movements were big if that makes sense, for example the cirlce 
you made a really big circle, but is it not possible to make a much 
smaller circle and for the left and right ones, do you have to move it 
that far to the right or would just flicking it to the side work?

Hope that makes sense
