Photorealistic NPR : Replicating 90's cel animation

Why, despite our best efforts, have we yet been unable to crack the code of replicating 90's style cel animation? From the light reflection of the painted cels into the camera lens, to the slight shake from the camera rig as it was suspended above the light table, the advent of high quality Blu-Ray transfers, has now more than ever, revealed the detail and quality of these great works.

Join me as I demonstrate how, using a combination of Grease Pencil, CG modeling, 2d animation, motion tracking, and the real-time compositor in Eevee, I have been able to convincingly reproduce the look and feel of 90's era 2d cel animation.
