like the two videos below i am looking further into the different way to portray info graphics for my opening title sequence.. i am aiming to use a combination of basic shapes and image for this, based around north korea. and the outrageous facts about the country and its leader, the purpose of the video is to amuse and to inform, something that a lot of info graphics don't do.

TakePart: Participant Media - Waiting For 'Superman' - Infographic from Jr.canest on Vimeo.

great example of of successful communication through info graphics using type and image. This is exactly the kind of thing i want for my opening sequence, clarity in colour and message is exsacly what i want to do. The basic shapes used as the basis of the design. However i do believe there could more use of movement with in the piece.

what i like about this video is the way in which the graphs etc appear to move, and are interactive with the other aspects of the video. something i want to emulate in my video.

this is an example of info graphics in after effects although not a very interesting topic, the purpose is to highlight the facts, what i will need to do is making them interesting, unlike this video,i can use camera movements to try and give the effect of movement making it more interesting or the on looker.
