the value of a company by the data that measures the company's assets,
income, and cash flow. The quality of financial analysis is a product

used in making the analysis. Better and more current information leads
to better investment decisions. This landmark work presents all of the

liberating the information from the limited boundaries established by a
pre-automation past. Even more important, this work reveals how this
simple and intuitive information can be produced on a current, even
real-time, basis.

This was done in a Sunday. Granted it was an entire Sunday, but a Sunday none-the-less.
Work included: reading how other people animated their work, building the props, rotoscoping and adding sound.
Sounds were added through Apple's `Soundtrack' application.
Enjoy. And yes, I'm not wearing any shoes - it was a spur of the moment thing.
