Description ...and his arms were bleeding.

I strongly recommend watching it in DviX quality, because animation is too scaled down at dA's default size. You will miss some things otherwise.

Video camera + Flash + AfterEffects
For much more detailed description of the production process look below for my reply to =Sturx

Not particularly proud of this one, but I don't want it to go to waste.

Video was recorder first, so I had to think things through a bit, not only timing, but also what to use for "motion tracking points".

Then I did the animation in Flash. Good thing about it was that I could just copy-paste a few frames on various places on timeline, so that timing fits.

Next step was importing videorecording and flash animation into AfterEffects.
I set two motion tracking points, one to the blue light on my monitor and the 2nd one to cable "crossroad" on the right. AfterEffects then went through the video and detected camera movement using those two tracking points. I then applied the camera movement to the animation.
I throw my wallet at the wall at the end of the video - I had to make a duplicate of the video recording, cut out everything but the wallet for every frame, and put the wallet on top layer, so that wallet flies over the animation and not behind it.

Then I "just" added sound with VirtualDub, which was very frustrating, because for some reason sound wasn't exporting at all neither through AfterEffects nor Premiere Pro. And VirtualDub doesn't offer any timeline control, it's just a videocompression software. So I had to combine various sounds (with correct timing) into one single separate sound file with Adobe Audition, so that I could add sound to the video when compressing it with VirtualDub.

Thanks for the fave and watch!
