What is a Flame?
/What Is A Flame? from Alphachimp Studio Inc. on Vimeo.
"As a curious 11-year-old, Alan Alda asked his teacher, “What is a flame?” She replied: “It’s oxidation.” Alda went on to win fame as an actor and writer, became an advocate for clear communication of science, and helped found the Center for Communicating Science at Stony Brook University. He never stopped being curious, and he never forgot how disappointing that non-answer answer was." http://www.flamechallenge.org/

Open Research
/Open research is research conducted in the spirit of free and open source software.
Much like open source schemes that are built around a source code that is made public, the central theme of open research is to make clear accounts of the methodology freely available via the internet, along with any data or results extracted or derived from them. This permits a massively distributed collaboration, and one in which anyone may participate at any level of the project.

Growing Apart, Growing Together
/Have you ever thought about how your food is produced? How connected do you feel?
In the early days of human history everyone had to help find and prepare food for the community. People were intimately connected to the origins of their food. Today on the one hand consumers have grown apart from the origins of food production and they do not have the time to keep up on this topic. On the other hand the farmers who produce the food face many challenges. In this RSA Animate style time-lapse video, our client asks viewers to examine what they know about their food and what it takes to produce it.

Too Badass Skrybes
/At least according to the legend in our own minds...
In this frantic video, watch graphic facilitators Jim Nuttle and Peter Durand of Alphachimp Studio Inc. create several large-scale images during a huge event (with disco lighting!) on creativity.
This video shows the same old time-lapse scribing concept, however we have updated the musical landscape with a mash-up by Girl Talk.
No music better conveys the mystery of two middle-aged white guys who draw cartoons for a living better than 60s psychodelia cross-polinated with gangsta hip hop!
The History of Graphic Facilitation (ANIMATED LAYERED PAINTING)
/The challenge of information design started on the cave wall. Somewhere along the line, experienced elders and shamans pulled the talented but surly artistic clansman aside and said:
"Listen. I know you don't like spear-chucking. So, can you draw a big Mastodon on the wall? We've got to teach the rest of these slacker kids how to hunt without getting killed."

The History of Graphic Facilitation (TIME LAPSE SCRIBING)
/As corny as it sounds, graphic facilitation could be called the world's second oldest profession: telling stories and making pictures. Once early humans started standing up straighter, making cooler tools, and collaborating to go on more dangerous journeys, they have struggled with how to communicate strategy to the tribe. So the challenge of information design started on the cave wall...
