Really nice animation from The Atlantic, David Lynch on Where Great Ideas Come From. The visuals smoothly and economically transition from one thing to another. They're not overdone and easily compliment David's tone. Produced by The Atlantic's own Jackie Lay, Katherine Wells, and Jennie Rothenberg Gritz.
