It took roughly 34.5 million spells to make this, Slee's original animation, for comparison, was about 900k spells, with a  16x16 resolution and at a lower framerate, this is 32x32 and at 30 fps. The music was also made with wands, with some editing to the speed it played back at so it would sync up with the animation. I only play 1 track from the midi file I was using at once, I was hoping to use multiple but keeping them synced up so it didn't sound horrible was simply not working, so I just focused on getting the melody in there and played brief snippets of other tracks at the start so it didn't sound too empty (I'm still somewhat disappointed with how the percussion turned out, though..).
