I'm very interested to know what technique they used on video like this:

Could someone tell me it?

Which technique in particular?

I think that somewhere the authors of CoSaS: Mission X wrote down the techniques they've used.

In other word: in what way, and with what programs I can make a video like this? Pay attention to the draw animations above all.

I remember seeing pictures of a mini silhouette studio in the final days tribute.

Well the silhouettes(from 1:07 and on) were made, as has already been stated, with actors against a greenscreen in a studio. But the parts before that could quite possibly be made by a single person with a drawing tablet or a scanner, plus copies of Flash, Premiere and Photoshop, and a whole lot of artistic talent. And patience.

In the video example, much of it is made of paintings on canvas, video-taped or scanned, then digitally manipulated with a good paint program and stylus pad/graphic tablet, assembled in layers in a good video program. Approximately.:cheeky:

Karen Wolff is later shown (at about the 5:46 mark) using a stylus pad as she works, presumably on a briefing.

This image comes from the old listing for the Looking Glass Studios equipment auction:
