Data Visualisation: Budgets and Good Morning Twitter

By Data Visualisation, data visualization

If like us you are often trying to find interesting new ways to visualise data then a quick look at the collection on Vimeo can lead to many lost hours.

One excellent example is of British Columbia’s budget update by blprnt:

BC Budget Visualization Tool from blprnt on Vimeo.

blpnt seems to have quite a talent for visualisation, below is his work regarding people saying good morning on twitter:

GoodMorning! First Render from blprnt on Vimeo.

The movie details approximately 11,000 tweets collected over a 24 hour period between August 20th and 21st. The tweets were harvested to find people saying ‘good morning’ in English as well as several other languages. It was built in Processing (processing.org) using Twitter4J, and a home-brewed client for MetaCarta’s geo-parsing APIs.

It is well worth a visit to the blog – blog.blprnt.com, excellent stuff…

A New Take on Timelapses: Camera Matching and Blender: Game Day At Nokia Arena

By 3D Modelling, Blender, camera matching, timelaspe

Sometimes you load a movie thinking it’ll be the same old visualization or timelapse and you suddenly sit back and think, wow. The movie below by Ariel Leviatan over at Waves and Pixels takes timelapses to a new level by building in camera matching and blender:

Game Day – At Nokia Arena, home of Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv from Ariel Leviatan on Vimeo.


We really like the technique and in the spirit of sharing information Ariel has provided a full write up of how its done over at his Waves and Pixels site. We also note the kind nod from Ariel to our original timelapse tutorial for starting the whole process off – its nice to know the tutorial led to something really creative…

The Parallel City

By Posts

Instead of touring Copenhagens well-known streets and alleys, the team behind the Parallel City initiative invite you onto a journey that takes you through some of Copenhagen’s many hidden courtyards – giving you a peek into the city’s parallel universe:

The Parallel City from JAJA on Vimeo.


Most of Copenhagen’s historic inner city consists of private and closed courtyards, the project poses the question what would happen if they were to open these courtyards? What would happen if these courtyards were made publicly accessible? What would happen when these courtyards become a part of the urban space?

The Parallel City is an invitation to rediscover and rethink the historic city of Copenhagen – you can find out more and full details at: http://theparallelcity.blogspot.com/ – its a nice idea, well presented thus the post 🙂
