And i'm very sorry if i have posted my topic in this section, i don't really know all the sections.

If you want a better quality copy of that video, the original is from issue number 6 of Anime Play Magazine, published in August 2004. This magazine published an interview with Stan Sakai and came with a DVD that included this demo on how he draws and colors Usagi.
