1945 World War II – Halloran

Neil Halloran’s interactive video ‘The Fallen of World War II’ reimagines the data from the second World War in ways that are as fascinating and moving as they are informative. From his decision to populate his bar graphs with icons for soldiers, each representing 1,000 of the slain, to his innovative framing of war statistics, the years of strategic thought that Halloran spent on this piece show. He coded the entire video himself, and included two interactive sections which immeasurably enrich the viewing experience. He has received substantial acclaim for ‘The Fallen of World War II,’ and has began producing interactive videos like this as a series on the cost of war.
