i would suspect that the original footage was shot with a very very strnghold 

light source off to one side. the effect is really all in the lighting. try 

it with a home video camera- then the helpful hints using photoshop and after 

effects will clean it up. the beauty of it is that you don't need great 

video.....

 I am doing this off the top of my head, but once you have the black and

 white palette you could do a color replace.  As for the little dots or

 "dithering", you can turn it off. No?
