have a look at this video:

It is well done and very cleaver and a good song too. My question is about the best pipeline to establish in making such a product.  For example, right from the beginning the video starts in 2d with some simple animation then zooms in and it turns 3d, then changes to an animated diagrams.

I am especially interested in how they got such nice looking dynamic diagrams that look to be linked to data to create the animation.  I am not sure if it makes more sense to bring everything into a 3d rendering program like 3ds max, or to do most of the work in something like Adobe AfterEffects (which i have never used, but know about).  Its this border between program environments that are based off of a) 3D b) 2D c) vector d)  raster that I am confused about, since it looks like they all have some sort of role.  Im sure there are more brute force methods as well as known production lines that are leaned with experience, which i am looking to get a bit of the scoop on.  Thanks!
