This video is mesmerizing. At first you think it's clever, then you think it's fake, then you look closer and realize it's mostly real. It's fun figuring out how they did it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMQRJYxPPCs …

There are some deceptive bits and some hidden things, but other than some touch-ups for artistic purposes I don't think video editing/CGI was involved much, and most of the effects shown really are or could be a result of drawing the conductive ink traces.

E.g. some/all of the batteries are dummies, the voltage is way too low for what they're doing, but if you look closely you can see how things are powered from the rear. And some things that look connected aren't if you look closely.

The fading makes sense. I bet that conductive ink decreases in resistance as it dries.

I do think there is some minor time-editing to make everything smoother (e.g. the fan blades don't start spinning smoothly), but that doesn't mean it's fake. Well I just bought the same pen so I guess I'll find out.
