Yeah, I think the term 'infographic video' has been getting a little loose lately. I could have gleaned the same amount of information from just listening to the audio. The images were more of a bullet point style reinforcement than any type of visual information marker. It also seemed a little amateur, especially compared to the Royksopp style of 'infographic' loveliness.

Really enjoyed the clip. It ended a little abruptly and could have used a concluding statement. Some of the savings and environmental impact could have been pushed a little more visually too. I'm not left with a "crap! I gotta do something" feeling.
