Character selection & rotating with keyboard or gamepad

Hi all
I’m an experienced 3D Generalist but my UE blueprints and programming knowledge is near zero. I’d like to ask a question about creating a showcase stage demo.

I’d like to place 5-6 characters in the world, let’s say align them on the ground in line. (From left to right for example.) Whenever I press left or right arrow key on keyboard or gamepad, I want to be able to select a character. Then I’d like that selected character to make a move kind of jump near the camera, like getting a closer view of it. Maybe they make a real fast move closer to the camera. Each selected character should be placed on the same location, and the other unselected ones should remain in the background. Only selected char should change it’s position, if I select the next one, then it should do the same with the old one returns to it’s original position.
And last, the selected close character should be able to rotate left and right with A or D keys or with a gamepad. Like viewing it as a turntable.

Is this too complicated to achieve? How would you guys approach to this? Any “instructions for dummies” kind of help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you all.
