The short also credits someone else for the animation work. So call me plebeian but this just looks like doing standard animation the really, really difficult way. As the artist says, pause it at any point and you face a painting - unfortunately most of them are quite dull paintings - it is the rare frame that stands on its own. I could probably build the Eiffel Tower with enough toothpicks and time, but it wouldn't be good art, it would just be silly.
