This is another size comparison video from Meta Ball Studio (previously), this time visualizing the sizes of various fictional buildings (all of which Alex Honnold plans to climb) from pop culture show, movie, and video game franchises. I learned a lot by watching it. Mostly, that my apartment isn’t larger
This is an entirely non-CGI video created by He Tongxue of HTX Studio featuring a piano keyboard attached to a tank filled with bioluminescent algae. As the piano is played it releases air bubbles, disturbing the algae and making them glow around the bubbles as they travel to the top.
This is a visualization crated by MetaBallStudios (previously) imagining various numbers of things as representing by a collection of 1cm square cubes. Things start off small enough with the number of letters in the English alphabet (26) and first generation Pokemon (151), but quickly get out of hand from there.
This is a visualization from Global Data (some really hard-hitting data here) comparing the sizes of various monsters and aliens from pop culture movies, shows, and video games. It begins with the tiny soot sprites from Hayao Miyazaki movies, and ends with the 10.45-trillion light year wide Super Tengen Toppa
Because the oceans are probably the best thing that ever happened to earth (humanity ranks dead last), this is a beautiful visualization of the earth’s ocean currents according to NASA’s ECCO (Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean) model, developed using data from spacecraft, buoys, and other measurements. Was
This is a 3D visualization created by Global Data featuring the scale of various objects in the universe, beginning with subatomic particles, then covering animals and manmade objects and landmarks we’re all familiar with here on earth before traveling into space, ending with the Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall. The Great
This is a visualization created by Red Side comparing the speed of the fastest manmade vehicles and other objects in different categories (e.g. fastest motorcycle, fastest jet aircraft, fastest space probe). It provides both 1st and 3rd person views, and begins with the fastest vehicles ever driven on Mars, the
This is a visualization from Global Data comparing the different sizes of Pixar characters (way to put that global data to good use!), starting with the diminutive 0.7″ Flik and ending with the giant 98′ 5.1″ whale from Finding Nemo. All the other characters are in-between. Did you know Mr.
