Prince of Persia - Original video shot for rotoscoping character animation
DrumAnBass:
Interesting little tidbit of gaming history - Jordan Mechner filming his brother for the original Prince of Persia character animation, 1985:

I love it when stuff like this turns up online. That's awesome!

He posted a long journal of his life during the creation of Prince of Persia that I found insanely interesting, even though I admittedly have never played through the original.
Little events pop up in the journal like, the NES release, the demise of the Apple IIe, and all sorts of other interesting things. Seriously, I cant get enough of reading this. In addition to the video linked above, the journal has original development sketches, some early animation work and other stuff.

That's awesome. The first standing broad jump where his feet stumble a bit on landing looks exactly like the game!
OverRide:
Wow. I'd read how the animation was done, but seeing this footage is freaky. Playing this as a kid it took me years before I could get past the first level. :P
