How many words is a picture worth?

I love data visualization and fun ways of communicating complex information. I found this video on Knowledge Fulcrum blog, but after a little more investigation, discovered that the inspiration for it was a music video for the band Royksopp's track, "Remind Me." The version shown on Knowledge Fulcrum was created by a talented motion designer named Tomas Nilsson who, at the time he created the video, had only been using After Effects for a year. He cites the Royksopp video as inspiration for his Little Red Riding Hood animation (featured on Knowledge Fulcrum). You can view both videos below. Regardless of which version you prefer, both videos tell a story with pictures and a ton of data. Reading this would take forever if you even paid attention past the first few sentences. The music is a nice addition.
