If you look carefully during the 3 first minutes, there are a lot of TVPaint involved for Storyboards/Animatics

TVPaint is everywhere!

Which tablet monitor are they using there?

That's a Wacom Cintiq, one of the bigger models.

I'm really nobody who dislikes everything CG, but often if you see a direct comparison like here the animation looses some of it dynamic.

[Elodie]

This dilemma already exists when you compare rough animation with clean animation

[schwarzgrau]

yea, some good point.
