Olympic Gold Medal Chart Relay
A silent six-panel gold-medal chart animation turns historical peaks and collapses into a 24-second comparison.
Field notes / why it works
The title, country, metric, and first value are visible at 0:00, while the moving dot and changing year/value keep a single 23.6-second shot active. Five panel changes arrive about four seconds apart, and the sharp Soviet graph change around 0:07 aligns with the strongest replay peak at 0:07.0–0:07.2.
Plate 01 / The format in one breath
One locked vertical dashboard cycles through categories, drawing a line chart as the year and value count forward. A compact title promises a comparison immediately; peaks, collapses, and the next category become the reveals. The viewer can read it without sound or narration.
Why it works
- The premise appears in frame one: a white title pill, country label, and an empty chart marked with years and a scale (0:00).
- The moving dot, growing line, filled area, and large year/value pair provide continuous change even though there are 0 cuts in 23.6 s.
- The sharp Soviet line drop around 0:07 is the top replay point (0:07.0–0:07.2); comments also ask about the discontinuity.

| Pace | 1 continuous shot · 0 cuts/min · 5 measured panel changes, about 12.7 changes/min · 23.6 s shot length; plotted values move within it |
| Script | No spoken script or transcript; concise dashboard labels and changing numbers |
| Voice | None |
| On screen | 100% motion graphic: full frame black field, chart, labels, subtle decorative icon |
| Captions | None; the country, year, and metric readout carry the story |
| Sound | Continuous tonal, music-like audio; roughly 125 BPM is a low-confidence estimate; −6.5 LUFS integrated, −3.5 dBFS true peak |
| Structure | First category opens at 0:00; measured category/graphic changes near 0:04, 0:08, 0:12, 0:16, 0:20; last visible category continues to 0:23.6 |
