The Credit Crisis explained, part 2

Jonathan Jarvis' wonderful animation of the credit crisis is the best explanation I've seen yet.

The Crisis of Credit Visualized from Jonathan Jarvis on Vimeo.

Aside from being a darn good animation, this clip illustrates the key elements to an effective visual explanation:

• Clear signposting of who, what, how much, and where
• When accounted for through a fluid storyline that takes us from a simple set-up through increasingly complex concepts
• How revealed through an effortless deduction of what is being built before us
• A well written and clear simultaneous verbal narration

Looking at the comments on Jonathan's original posting tells us that not only do we now "get" what's going on, we see it clearly enough to point out possible errors and omissions. And that is a good thing: we can only make intelligent criticism when we understand what we've seen. It takes courage to be this clear.
