Rotate an animated GIF (ImageIcon) using AffineTra

I am trying to rotate an animated gif stored in an ImageIcon using an AffineTransform. The result is that the image does not get drawn.

Here's my code:

AffineTransform trans = AffineTransform.getRotateInstance(imgYaw, img.getImage().getWidth(null) / 2, img.getImage().getHeight(null) / 2);
AffineTransformOp transo = new AffineTransformOp(trans, AffineTransformOp.TYPE_BILINEAR);
BufferedImage bufferedimg = new BufferedImage(img.getImage().getWidth(null), img.getImage().getHeight(null), BufferedImage.TYPE_4BYTE_ABGR);
img.setImage(atransO.filter(bufferedimg, null));
img.paintIcon(null, g, x, y);

Not so much an answer, but an example of simplified workflow...

Basically, what this does is applies a AffineTransform directly to the Graphics context and paints the IconImage to it...

Now, you could use the Graphics context from BufferedImage if that's what you need...

            y = (getHeight() - img.getIconHeight()) / 2;
            img.paintIcon(this, g2d, x, y);
            g2d.dispose();
        }

    }
