Multimedia guru Gabriel Dance advises on how to present data on the Web
I apologize in advance, because what I am about to show you will take up an hour of your time. However, it is well worth it to carve out this time to listen to a recent speech by Gabriel Dance, senior multimedia producer at the New York Times. Speaking at The CUNY Graduate School of Journalism, Dance spends over an hour talking about how he got to where he is today, what tools he uses, the importance of usability, context and transparency, and much more. I have embedded all of the videos here for your convenience, so take some time during your coffee breaks and lunch hour to be inspired by one of the best in the field!
New York Times uses 3D animation to recreate Taliban kidnapping
I finally got the chance to watch the entire “Held by the Taliban” series by the New York Times, and I especially enjoyed the 3D animation recreating their escape in the last installment. Now that the entire series has been rolled out, take 10 minutes to watch the six brief videos. This is an excellent example of how to successfully recreate past events using maps, stock photos and video, and 3D animation.
New York Times’ best interactives of 2008
2008 will be remembered for the historic presidential election, collapsing economy, financial bailout, Chinese Olympics, and the Iraq & Afghanistan wars … among others. What these all have in common is a great deal of data, numbers and confusing figures. New York Times, without a doubt, was the leader in creating successful infographics and stimulating interactives dealing with these high interest news stories.
