Inflation Animations for the Washington Post

If inflation were a helium-filled balloon, we'd be pretty high up in the air right now. That's the premise behind the animations that art director Emily Wright of the Washington Post commissioned from me for an interactive piece titled Inflation Explained: How Prices Took Off by Damian Paletta. As you scroll through, six stop-motion videos automatically play behind Damian's words, giving an informative and playful picture of the ups and downs of the economy since early 2020.
This project was a blast to work on, and a terrific challenge with all the air physics involved, plus a tight deadline.
You can read more about how this piece came together from the Post's persepctive in this "Behind the Story" piece. And see all six animations from it in this Instagram post.
