I believe the TED talk from Steven Johnson was more effective than the animated video he created because of the details that he was able to include in the talk. Through Johnson's drawn out speech, he was able to thoroughly explain the concept he developed as well as make better connections between his tales. The animated video that Johnson created wouldn't have been nearly as effective for me had I not watched his speech beforehand. Though I found the animated style to be more entertaining than his speech, I also found that it hindered his ability to connect with the audience and thoroughly portray his details.
