We never shared this awesome little clip from an event we did a while ago.

This is from the Travel Channel’s massively popular Man Vs. Food show, during a live television special that was highly promoted.

 

We’ve created many custom visuals like this, but for very large polls, there’s an interesting challenge: After the first 20,000 votes, you’re effectivly sampled your audience and the bar heights may not change much. So how do you keep the visuals exciting?

In this case, we added a custom animation that made a new drop of rain fall.  Each vote causes one drop of rain to fall on the appropriate column.
