This is utterly brilliant. A compelling story told with clarity using fifty or so data points. This video deserves to have many more views - really inspirational work.
Just found your channel (looking into buying a Axidraw myself) and really like it. Being a creative coder I was interested in the more generative designs plots, but this video took me by surprise. Really interesting story in both content and storytelling! Using the plotter itself to tell the story was great, and the data visualization itself was super interesting. Thanks!
Thanks for the kind words Sander! I wrote up a bit more about the process if you're interested here: medium.com/nightingale/pen-plotters-are-the-perfect-tool-for-data-storytelling-b05c71ceadd5?source=friends_link&sk=df072319149e016dd990dc23c9eb16ad
Interesting idea! We've got a few timelapse videos of other plots on the channel, but in this case I think the narration is important to understand the chart properly and there wouldn't be time to tell the whole story if the whole thing was timelapse. We might use the idea for future pen plotter visualizations, though. Thankyou!

Thanks so much for the kind words, Kevin!
Beautifully done. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
So refreshing - and inspiring - to see such original work.

this is super cool
You were featured on FlowingData! Nicely done!
Yeah! This was super-exciting for us - we're big FlowingData fans :)
This is a really smart way to visualize data. What topics will you try next and would you like help?
Just an idea: As much as I like to see Axidraw moving, I think it would also look nice to see the graph built stop-motion-like.

I'd love to, but they take a lot of time to make!
Spoiler alert!
