on another list there was a very extensive conversation about doing =
this. seems the rage is  to do the narration while some one draws things =
that match. animating the hand will probably get insane, and never look =
that good. these videos are usually done the way you didn't think of, =
actually live. really that simple. have the artist come in, setup a nice =
even light, and using just about any camera with manual exposure =
control, draw away. you'll get perfect results.... you can patch bits =
together if you need to if you run of the end of the world so you'll get =
some real AE work in.  ok, if you really want to do it the harder way, =
predraw everything, then have the hand model fake draw everything, and =
wipe it back in with lost of masks. painful but another approach.
