Great chalk animation (Firekites video)

Here's an interesting low-tech hand-drawn chalk animation involving 6 months of time (beginning to end), and about 1900 frames. Lucinda Schreiber and Yanni Kronenberg have done an amazing job with the music video for Firekites Autumn Story. The trailing clouds of chalk dust from the rubbed out images creates a fitting atmospheric effect, and I'm amazed at the consistency of the chalk outlines. I'm curious if those were traced somehow. Lucinda comments that it "was drawn onto the chalkboards frame by frame, shot with a stills camera and edited together in [Final Cut Pro]."
