Animated Infographics

Create an animated infographic to educate viewers on a specific topic. Use questions like 'What, why, where, when, who, and how' to guide your narrative. Research the topic, gather data, and prepare 3-5 main points to structure your information.

Main Points:

Start with the basics: What is the topic about? Why is it important? Where and when does it occur? Who does it affect? How does it impact people?
Dive into the details: What are the key statistics and data related to the topic? Why do these numbers matter? Where did the data come from? When was it collected? Who conducted the research? How does it compare to other relevant data?
Provide examples or case studies: What are real-life examples of the topic in action? Why are these examples significant? Where and when did they occur? Who was involved? How do these examples illustrate the broader issue?

Expected Outcomes:

Create a 1.5 to 3-minute animated infographic video that effectively communicates the topic, using data and statistics. Make sure to answer the questions posed and provide engaging visuals to enhance understanding.

Production Milestones:

Complete a presentation for each stage of production within one week. Keep a reflective journal (blog) to document progress and use it for presentations.

Let me know if you need further clarification on anything!
