As an added bonus, videos can be easily embedded onto any site -- whether it be a blog, social media stream, or regular web page. On the other hand, the sprawling nature of infographics requires a great deal more work when you are trying to incorporate them into your online presence.
Here is a great example of a video infographic from GE. If you've seen any others that you love, drop us a note in the comments.
This is more of an interactive infographic with video mixed in, still pretty cool though: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-17013285
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't know if YouTube's One Hour per Second is old news but I saw it for the first time yesterday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHPfc6whaSk
Great post, video infographics don't get enough recognition!
I totally agree with Yvonne and think video infographics, or infovideos, are underrated! I love infographics too, but sometimes they are so big and that it's a pain scrolling up and down the page.
ReplyDeleteThese kinds of infographics are very hard to do, I admire any company that has the resources to pull something like this together because they are truly effective.
ReplyDeleteAnyone know what kind of software they use? I come from the digital mapping space, so it has to be something that leverages database-driven technology. Each of those dots has to have a record in a database behind it, so it knows how to thematically shade them. Then that kind of video effect has to be a fancy "graph" object if you will. I'd be very curious to know what they used!
