how did they make the writing on the film at the start of this video? I'd love to replicate that in Super 8. Is it scratched out leader? Some sort of selective exposure?

White leader.
Black writing.
Telecine is of neg film.

Blue covered it. I have done it a few times with a "Sharpie" marker,

Yes, write with a permanent marker on exposed film before telecine.

I did that too - A good way of making secret messages inside your film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ng4D3L9T ... re=related
