I only groaned a few times at the generalizations and detours into the weeds. That's saying something considering how hard it is to tell this story. Now we need one of these to explain what's going on with the banks and the government now, which means picking it up where this leaves off. And one to talk about what happens to individual homeowners now, which means Michael Moore-style doc-making. Paging next term's Art Center final termers.... This is great!

The simple bold style helps make the communication clear.

I too downloaded the This American Life podcast to get an understanding of all this, and I had a somewhat clear idea of what's going on. This piece definitely helped create a visual map that, paired with the other info I already have, has given me a fuller understanding of this mess we're in. It also creates a strong argument to the power of motion design. Just think if they played this on CNN or whatever news network. More everyday people will actually learn something rather than being confused by experts, analysts, and commentators that speak to a smaller portion of the educated population. Great piece!

I'm so glad Jonathon chose to use straightforward iconic visual language for his piece, because as Justin said, the concepts are intricate and complex and a more ambiguous style would not have explained things so well. I have kept abreast of the whole crises, but i feel that I've been really educated by watching this, it's made things much clearer. I'm sure some commentators will say that parts of the argument are missing, or that some elements are over simplified. But i feel this piece gives a great bare bones under-standing of what's going on. I'm really happy that Jonathin chose motion-graphics animation to execute his piece. On an educational level, he has advanced this medium no end. Fantastic! This is absolutely brilliant!!!
