Without Words

Lately I've been thinking about story telling without words. Perhaps it's the ADA compliance, the recognition The Artist is getting or just because I found these two great examples.

The first example is the title sequence for a film called Herbst. German for fall, it's a really nice piece that not only works without words but without live action as well.

The second clip, The Imposters, is probably a little more akin to what you might imagine when you think of silent film, slap stick and everything.
