Yeah, same here. Had no idea that so much goes on behind the scenes.

Nice video. The NYTimes often does creative and wonderful interactive graphics. I'm pleased they stated clearly that they choose clarity over aesthetics, but that clarity creates its own aesthetic.

I really like that video. I think it is good that people see how much work and thought is built into something looking simple.
