Research - Lemony Snicket´s End credits

When looking at this sequence i feel that it has a home made feeling to it for a number of reasons. The first being the fact that its figures and forms have a painted and textured paper look to them. The second reason that I think it looks handmade is because is because of the flow of animation, this is because it looks a if it is filmed papercraft animations. Finally looking at the look and feel of the sequence it has a very dark feeling to it also there is an effect to the camera view where the light keeps fading in and out as if more and less light is in the room.
