Most data videos go wrong for one reason: someone retyped the numbers. When I animate a bar chart race, a growth line or a KPI dashboard, the video reads the spreadsheet directly. Every bar, counter and label is computed from the file, so what you see can never drift from the source, and a late data update is a re-render, not a redo. 3 rules I follow for data in motion: → one chart, one message → no gridlines, no legends, no pie charts → every number readable in under 3 seconds Which chart would you want to see move first: your growth, your rankings or your KPIs?
