At this years UK election, the results of the general election are to be projected on to St Stephen’s Tower, which houses Big Ben, for the first time, by the BBC. The idea behind projecting the results in this way is to provide a clear and simple source of information and to create an »arresting« image.

The results projection, which will be removed after dawn on 7 May, will feature a »winning line«, representing the 326 seats that any party will need to win to be sure of an outright victory. The idea was approved by the parliamentary authorities, responsible for the management of its buildings and the BBC is said to be »delighted« with the initiative.

Today I stumbled upon a quite interesting short movie which is merging real stop motion sequences with virtual 3D infographs. This video was made for the Canadian mayonaisse company Hellmann´s by Crush Inc. The company is proud to use only Canadian ingredients for their product, so they launched the EatRealEatLocal campaign. I think this movie would also fit for Germany. Why should I buy a cucumber from Isreal while its a vegetable in season?
