It's cool, but I'm pretty darn sure it's not done just as shown in that video, those pictures SCREAM rotoscoped (even if hand rotoscoped), and there's no way he drew a picture, threw it onto the pile then drew another one with no onion skinning at all, there's no way the pages would always be in the same spot, or the lines be perfectly attuned to each other frame to frame.
So, yes, awesome animation, but a little dishonest in how it's 'actually' done.

I think the reason his hand is on a mouse is because it is advancing the film by one frame in a monitor or lightbox built into the desk or projecting down onto it. Looking at it again, I think the projector is above the desk, probably in the same box as a camera that takes a pic of the page when each is done.
For me, that does not at all diminish how impressive this video is. He not only made every one of those sketches by hand, but somebody also moved the camera all over the place, millimeter by millimeter between frames.
And the music is awesome, too. From an old video game? Anybody know what it is?
