The census has a $15 billion dollar budget yet I can’t submit my info online? Awesome.

Total 2010 Census Budget = nearly $15 billion.

~$1 billion in stimulus for public outreach/staffing + $340 million for promotional materials… including $2.5+ million on Superbowl advert/marketing. They say they’d like to spend $65 for every person in the US on the whole Census project, but it’s actually less than that. Additionally, the money allocated to the Census every decade is put in a special private account that no one else in the gov can touch – mainly to provide (a perceived) protection for the information they gather.

In other words, this DK add is a drop in the bucket.

Seeing the behind the scenes for this is rad. Gotta say, love it. Really appreciate the tactile vibe of the whole thing. Seeing people actually painting the frames and really getting the soul into the piece really rocks. Def deserves a front page, no doubt about it.

i dunno man, you need to revaluate what you mean by mograph, if mograph is simply ae and a sprinkle of 3D elements, then this site would be populated with a ton of network IDs and animated text/fonts. And that sir, would be boring as hell. If more more experimental pieces are being posted lately, its because thats where most of the interesting work is coming from. I think mograph is anything that is displayed during an interval of time. the rise of the sun and stars can be considered motion graphics and we see it everyday, I think once you get bogged down by a strict set of definition of mograph is, you will be asking for staleness.

i think this is really well done. really! but i hate to be a hater.. i got to call it how i see it..

this is not worthy of a post.

there is a real lack in mograph work lately. if you look back 3-2 years every day there were sick spots being posted on this site.

i dont think this spot would even get posted a 3 years ago. what do you think? is it dry out here?
