You know, even if you're constantly re-doing this, you're learning all sorts of stuff as you go. It's interesting that your reconstructing mirrors the creation of the actual film. It's a story of making, unmaking, and remaking.
By the way, the M2V of Animating Art cuts off during the clip of the Queen finding out about the heart (from Snow White). If you can just send the other half (starting after that clip), I can simply edit the two together.
By the way, I'm doing some cleanup... I have some good noise reduction filters that will help get rid a lot of the noise. It'll create some smearing, but I'm doing it selectively so that pencil tests and the like won't look bad. I'm also converting it to progressive 24fps. It won't look perfect, but neither does the original tape!
Here's a before/after comparison:
