Infographical delight

Thanks to Smashing magazine for introducing me to this beautiful little video, one of the best examples of information graphics in motion, what with the little story going on in it. Sure, it’s from 2002, but so what? It’s a classic. I’ve found many references to it on other blogs, including that it won a 2002 European MTV award for the French motion graphics studio H5 (I’d like to give you a link to them but after 30 minutes Googling, I gave up). There’s also a video to be found out there that H5 made for a nuclear power company, but it isn’t nearly as charming. If you’re asked. “what’s an info-graphic?” point ‘em to this (or this or this). Enjoy
