Scanimation has always had a huge fascination for me. Not least because Scanimated stuff was in vogue when I was a kid, but their analogue and arguably intentionally imprecise means of production means you never got the same effect twice and every scene was unique. I purchased Scanimate DVD-1 way back when and it not only has a great selection of ads and some other feature productions, but some tidbits on production methods and what actually went into the technology. You can get it here (not involved, just a satisfied customer): http://www.scanimate.com/DVD1.html http://www.scanimate.com/DVD1.html I think some of the same applies to modern CGI compared to the old blood-sweat-film-and-tears visual effects methods, which doesn't always yield a better result, and sometimes comes off as soulless.
