You can onion skin a previs animation over the live feed from your camera to match motion. Not to say that it isn't still technically and creatively impressive, having a guide and the ability to playback your progress on the fly and so forth makes things easier, but not easy.

To me, the more impressive bits, technically, would be the pyramid of pencils, (imagine having to carefully add those one at a time without breaking the pyramid) and changing the background before and after the "zipper" action.

Easy enough to do. Shame to even suggest that of course.  : ) Perhaps the pencils in the graphic equaliser diplay have  actually been rendered on the computer, and created automatically.
