Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.100,0:00:39.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to describe, for example, emotions,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.31,0:00:41.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,illustrators can use visual metaphors

Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.32,0:00:46.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Just as a written metaphor is a description
Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.45,0:00:48.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that relates one object to another,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.40,0:00:51.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a visual metaphor uses imagery to suggest

Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.22,0:01:32.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Let's take a look at our "Big Data" script.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.23,0:01:34.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We start with smaller computer servers

Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.28,0:01:37.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to produce data,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.49,0:01:38.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then even bigger networks

Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.15,0:01:42.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You see where we're going with this --
Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.67,0:01:45.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,an object growing and branching out in many directions
Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.84,0:01:48.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and producing something as a result?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.12,0:01:49.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Does that remind you of something?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.65,0:01:51.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Just like those computer networks,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.55,0:01:53.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a tree grows and branches out
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.73,0:01:56.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to produce more leaves each year.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.76,0:01:58.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And every year, just as the data accumulates
Dialogue: 0,0:01:58.70,0:02:00.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and faces us with a challenge
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.01,0:02:01.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to find storage solutions,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.69,0:02:03.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it gets harder to collect those piles of leaves

Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.82,0:02:08.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Aha! There's our visual metaphor!
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.99,0:02:13.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay, so we have the script,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.65,0:02:14.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,audio,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.23,0:02:15.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and a visual metaphor.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.74,0:02:17.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The next step in visual development
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.54,0:02:18.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is to design the characters
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.82,0:02:20.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and environments of the animation.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.80,0:02:22.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,To do so, we think
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.04,0:02:23.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of an appropriate and appealing style
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.80,0:02:25.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to illustrate the ideas
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.96,0:02:26.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and help the viewer better understand
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.92,0:02:28.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what they're hearing.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.48,0:02:29.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Let's go back to the script
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.78,0:02:32.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and see if we can find any clues there.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.20,0:02:34.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Our story starts in the 1960s

Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.81,0:02:38.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This decade will serve as a good point
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.62,0:02:41.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to make the stylistic choice for our animation
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.15,0:02:43.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as it will allow us to refer to artwork
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.20,0:02:44.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from that era.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.57,0:02:45.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You may want to start
Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.27,0:02:46.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by looking at some art books
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.60,0:02:49.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(design, illustrations, cartoons, etc.)
Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.68,0:02:50.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from that era
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.85,0:02:53.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and find a style that may our own purpose.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.44,0:02:54.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Look closely,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.27,0:02:55.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,study the material,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.16,0:02:56.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and try to understand the choices
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.63,0:02:59.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,artists of that time made and why.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.74,0:03:03.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For example, the 1960s minimalist animation style
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.21,0:03:04.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was a significant departure
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.58,0:03:06.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from the cinematic realism
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.20,0:03:08.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that was popular in animated films at the time.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:08.79,0:03:11.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The choice to use limited animation techniques
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.09,0:03:13.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was originally made for budgetary reasons,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.76,0:03:15.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it became a signature style
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.34,0:03:18.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that influenced many future generations of animators.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.96,0:03:20.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In this stylistic approach,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.46,0:03:22.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the simplified characters,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.14,0:03:23.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,flat backgrounds,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.13,0:03:25.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and angular shapes come together
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.14,0:03:28.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to create new interpretations of reality,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.05,0:03:29.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which also sounds like a good place
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.63,0:03:32.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to begin visualizing our own Big Data.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.98,0:03:40.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, let's try an experiment.
