It’s a little trickier than it looks, because it’s cutout animation without elbow or knee joints.

On a side note in an attempt to go completely open source, I’ve switched my production from windows 7 to Linux (Mint 17 Cinamon 64 bit), and things definately move smoother and quicker in Gimp, Synfig, and Avidemux.
