Visualizing Change

One of the amazing things about the Internet is how
people can spread ideas in unique, powerful, and
meaningful ways. Take a look at these examples below.
(Some of these are from YouTube, so you may not be able
to view them at work. I’ve used alternate
sources where available.)
Generation We
Generation WE: The Movement Begins... from Generation We on Vimeo.
This video starts dangerously like a pharmaceutical commercial. I keep waiting for the young adults in this video to admit they have genital herpes. After, the initial awkwardness, however, this video gains momentum and power. It’s a great example of how a single message can be threaded through multiple voices.
The Girl Effect
This video makes great use of text and music to present a simple idea in a powerful manner. Even a touch of humor is thrown in at one point.
D-Pan
More powerful stuff. The Deaf Performing Arts Network takes music videos and creates deaf-centric interpretations of the music and lyrics, adding ASL among other visuals. (via Garr Reynolds)
Still Alive
You can even turn something whimsical and niche into an amazing visual presentation through some care and a good sense of humor.
Portal - Still Alive typography from Trickster on Vimeo.
Check out and play the game Portal if you want to know more about what’s going on in this song!
Simply put, the way we incorporate visuals into presentations, multimedia or otherwise, can add power and depth to the presentation. With inspirations like these, why settle for less?
