Ice Bucket Challenge

This is such an interesting idea!
The way in which you took the connections between each neuron and incorporated that into the idea behind the ice bucket challenge was very clever. The whole point of this ice bucket challenge was to spread awareness and you definitely portrayed its effectiveness very well through your project.
I also really liked how you put extreme importance on the visual display and presentation of the project rather than its more technical aspects, keeping it simple enough to understand.
Great work!

I think you have improved on your original idea a lot; your goal is more clearly defined and you made sure you include as much data as you can to emphasize your goal without overwhelming viewers. I really love how your representation has a sense of spreading and connecting to different people.

One change I would like to see in your visualization is maybe placing an emphasis on the more "influential" neurons, or people who had many long nomination chains. I think the Ice Bucket Challenge was especially successful because of celebrities participating in it, but it would be interesting to see how the celebrities' impact differ from that of a civilian.

I entered this project expecting your typical network graph, but am delighted to see such a clever design. I really enjoy how you integrated neurons and the meaning behind the ice bucket challenge into the data visualization! I especially like the idea of "regenerating" neurons in real time for each new video. My only concern is that the structure of neurons may be too complicated to follow (at least in the sample picture). However, that can be solved by spreading them out more and utilizing your zoom feature.

I really like the changes you made to your project. Your representation of all the data is very creative. You also made the data representation much deeper with your use of space and perspective. I really like how you have the options of viewing the big picture to see the overall story while still being able to zoom in on individual neurons.
One thing I think you might consider would be the ability to search for individuals. My guess is that most people would tend to care less for random people they don't know. This would also allow you to see how the challenge arrived to certain communities such as a school and how it spread throughout that school in particular.
