One important take-away from watching these videos, is to note how Paganini stood, his stance. There are only sketches of him playing, but every sketch shows his legs in this weird signature stance.
I can say that after I started standing this way, my playing improved dramatically. I think the key to this stance, is to pretend you have a tennis ball under your heel, and that you are gently squeezing and un-squeezing the tennis ball with your heel, along with the music.
The difference between this foot-work technique, and say, that of Angus Young of AC/DC, is that Paganini's legs and feet move slowly, gently, methodically, more analog...
Whereas Angus' foot-work seems more binary, jerky, and jarring, where he slams his foot into the ground hard, but in between each foot-stomps is legs and feet are more out-of-control.
