Thanks for the link. Very interesting, and a good read. I am actually familiar with some of Félix Vallotton's work, and hadn't made the connection. In retrospect it seems almost obvious.

Less obvious again was the fact that he had to make the whole room, then turn out the lights so you couldn't see it! It makes perfect sense, but it wasn't obvious.

I did a little digging online, and I found an interview with Robert McGuire talking about this piece:
"...Finding the choice of technique took time...In the end we went with traditional hand-drawn animation, then combining this with Flash to ink and clean the drawings. Later, in some cases, we were combining a few techniques. There were all sorts of technical problems that needed to be worked out. Sometimes it was hard getting the software to look integrated. Some backgrounds and objects were created in 3-D. AfterEffects was used to add a blur to the light from the candle."
Very interesting! Here is the rest of the interview if you would like to read it.

That's quite an interesting look to the film, any idea how they would have achieved it? It looks a bit like a woodblock print in places (like the hands) but other bits look like fairly basic computer graphics.
I assume this isn't an effect you can just turn on in Maya or Photoshop?
