Diagram & Data Animation

Make structure and data legible by revealing it over time — one idea per beat. Build progressive node/edge reveals, flowing connectors, and animated charts (bars grow, lines draw, numbers count up) for web or video.

When to use

• Architecture, flow, or sequence diagrams that build step by step.
• Animated charts: bars grow, lines draw on, numbers count up.
• "How it works" walkthroughs and process explainers.
• Showing data or signal flowing along connectors.

Core principle: progressive disclosure

Never show everything at once. Reveal in this order: nodes → edges → labels. Highlight the active element and dim the rest (focus + context). Pace to comprehension, not flash — hold each step 0.5–1.5s so it lands. Keep a consistent visual grammar: color means meaning, and that mapping never changes mid-piece.
