Two videos from Bill Nye the Science Guy showing the size and scale of the planets and the Sun. He may have done similar examples, but these are the two I know about. The one above (Planets & Moon) starts at about 4:00 into the video, and the one below (Outer Space) starts at about 2:00. "Outer Space is HUGE!"

Activity Level Indicator The color of the point on the map indicates the number of transactions that occurred in the corresponding area.
Data Execution This transaction map was created as a study of the extensive activity that occurs in the eBay Marketplace on the biggest offline shopping day of the year. It is a visualization of all U.S.-based buyer and seller transactions on eBay on Black Friday, November 27, 2009 (12:00:00 AM to 11:59:59 PM EST). Although eBay is an international marketplace, this map is focused on U.S. data, as Black Friday is the traditional beginning of the holiday shopping season for the U.S.It's an interactive, animated timeline, so you can watch the transactions grow throughout the day and zoom in to specific areas of the country by clicking on the map. It's a flash animation, but there's a WMV movie file available for download too.
They also did a map of the even bigger 1.4 million transactions on Cyber Monday 2009.

Freeband - The Ambient Life from The QBF on Vimeo.
An animated vision of the future commissioned by Freeband Communication, The Ambient Life is a look at how we might interact with infographics all around us in everyday life (although I hope the plane crash isn't an everyday occurrence!)
A world in which information and communication technology render one's surroundings into a thinking and caring environment.Design and direction by Martijn Hogenkamp, an Amsterdam based motion director and designer.
Verizon's new "There's a Map for That" television commercial uses these floating maps to compare their coverage area for the high-speed 3G network to AT&T's 3G coverage area.
From what I can tell, the maps are in fact accurate in representing the 3G network coverage; however, AT&T has now sued Verizon because the ad misleads customers to believe that AT&T doesn't have coverage in the blank areas. AT&T does have coverage in most of the blank areas, but it's the slower 2.5G/EDGE network.
Even if the graphics are completely accurate, infographics can definitely be used to lead the viewer to an incorrect conclusion that the author wants to communicate.

Although I really like this video by Johnny Kelly at Design You Trust (Good-Okay-Brilliant-Great job Johnny!), I not convinced this is infographics.
What do you think? Is this infographics or illustration?

10/GUI from C. Miller on Vimeo.
A little off-topic, but I love this video idea for a new touch interface to replace the mouse from 10/GUI. Designed by R. Clayton Miller.
This video examines the benefits and limitations inherent in current mouse-based and window-oriented interfaces, the problems facing other potential solutions, and visualizes my proposal for a completely new way of interacting with desktop computers.Thanks for the link Tyler!

design, experience, interface, video I've posted some of Chris Jordan's images here before, but here is a video of him talking about his work at TED in February 2008.
Artist Chris Jordan shows us an arresting view of what Western culture looks like. His supersized images picture some almost unimaginable statistics -- like the astonishing number of paper cups we use every single day.
Chris Jordan runs the numbers on modern American life -- making large-format, long-zoom artwork from the most mindblowing data about our stuff.Thanks to Ben Fry for posting this on his site.
Here's a glimpse of Chris Jordan's current project in-progress on the island of Midway Atoll (http://www.midwayjourney.com/).

New TED Talk video of Hans Rosling talking to the U.S. State Department, "Let my dataset change your mindset". Using the GapMinder software that was purchased by Google, Hans shows the third world isn't as far behind the U.S. as most people believe.
