I have gotten familiar with the very basic of Flash (motion/shape tweening, using different tools, etc.) and I was wondering how this was created:

I don't need very specific details but I would like to know the skill level required, the estimated number of keyframes, any various techniques used and a general outline of what they done.

Now I get you, About 1200 keyframes, Medium Skill level, and maybe 3 1/4 months of work! Hope this helps.
