An Inconvenient Truth

A film that is; its fair to say, of the moment. A film that touches on a delicate political as well as moral issue - the state of our environment and our seemingly catastrophic effect on it, also known as global warming...

But we're not interested in that, we're far more interested in the charts, graphs, illustrations, motion graphics, and even 3D animations used in Al Gore's presentation...obviously.

That might sound daft but there is a method to the seemingly apparent madness; as this film shows not only that data/information does not need to always be shown in the everyday forms we are all accustomed to, but that it is in the variety of the presentation that really gets the point across to your audience. In the film Gore uses a number of methods, (conventional and less so) to illustrate the points made and I think it is this variety that keeps audience's attention and prevents the presentation from stagnating and the audience 'losing the plot'.

Below are a few stills from the film...







Overall an excellent film, which really hits home, primarily if not wholly due to the methods of data presentation and the way in which the message is communicated.
