I found this talk quite useful and i really liked the haulacaust animations. I liked the documentary style especially that they used the actual peoples voices that they were talking about it gave a really authentic feel to it. Then their story that they were saying was expressed in animation form which allows you to show visually the horrible stuff that happened without making it too graphic and like you don't want to watch. I think this was useful to me as our next project will be a documentary style! So this has given me a few ideas.
