Hi Oleg and Ian, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODxv498p4ME
This isn't about a specific function, but is an animation i put together to explain why it is useful to organize information into arrays. I developed it on keynote, but haven't yet put a soundtrack to it. It's not really high end, but it wasn't too hard to put together either. Let me know if you have more specific ideas for animations.
