Matt Cooper says, “This summer, a video, The Fallen of World War II, was uploaded to Vimeo and gained attention across the Internet. Written, directed, coded, and narrated by a data-visualization specialist named Neil Halloran, the video spends 18 jaw-dropping minutes narrating the history of World War II through the prism of how many people died. Using a single stick figure to represent a thousand deaths, Halloran methodically walks us through the carnage, stacking up both civilian and military casualties in such a way that quantifies the horror of history’s deadliest war. In doing so, Halloran imparted knowledge and information in a way no history textbook ever could. In terms of data visualization, I can think of few examples that can compare to Halloran’s video in both scope and breadth“.
