chartsnthings: Sketches from One Race, Every Medalist Ever
Remember that awesome NYT 3D Olympic race visualization? Here’s the story of its creation.
Then it was just a matter of rendering all the frames, recording and syncing the audio, and thinking about how to turn it around as soon as possible after the result. If you look closely, you can see that the 2012 results are out of frame for most of the movie – it was mostly pre-rendered. (We also recorded slightly different scripts depending on who won. I didn’t really care who won, but I was sort of rooting against Churandy Martina of the Netherlands because I couldn’t pronounce his name right. Luckily for me, he got sixth.)
