After I've posted the video on YOUTUBE, I've got so many questions like "how did you make the video?" "what program did you use?" or "how long did it take to complete?"
I think I have answered so many times but my comment always gets away within other comments. And after they got connected with Google+ things got even more weird.

Anyways, long story short: to make a video like this, first you need an original video. This video is based on the song titled "ABRACADABRA" by Korean girl band, Brown Eyed Girls.
Next, you need to capture images from the videos. I used Gom Player to do the 'speedy-captures'...if you've ever made a gif from a video, then you should know how to.
Maybe 6-12 images/sec would be enough for more natural animation.

Then what you should do is to draw. Open images on the software whatever you're easy to work with; I've used Paint Tool Sai.
Open the image, adjust transparency, then create a new layer. Trace as characters you wish to draw. Save the image as Jpeg.

If you've finished drawing, you need to put all the images in sequence with the background music. I've used Windows Movie Maker, which is the basic program you get when you're a windows user.
Save the project, and now you're ready to publish the video on YOUTUBE.

The whole process took me 2 months to complete. I started working on it September 2009, and finished it November the same year.

I have no idea how to make an animation other than this method because I've never been trained. Maybe there are other better&easier ways to make animation videos.
Hope it helped :) And if there's anyone who's read this long, boring journal, and if you've ever enjoyed the video above, thank you very much. I've been helped alot by your warm comments and interests.
