I'm working with Lynda for now since I have access to it, but thank you for the tips. It's a long journey, but probably worth it. I don't need much - just enough to make some really simple infographic style videos, not complex animations. Going to use mostly precomps.
Unfortunately most people get swept away by story without thinking of valuations or reality. It's easier to get swept away by a story than numbers. Ironically, analysts often must learn the opposite (they get too into the numbers and forget story). Guess it's kind of a left brain, right brain thing. This video likely won't make much difference (because the people who need it most and see it likely won't think it applies to them), but I hope it makes a difference for at least a few people with open minds.
