A visualization of Kickstarter using a video game engine (Unity 3D)

  That is a great visualization. Interesting and yet really just confirms the distribution that I would assume. On the visualization itself, I think the color choices could be optimized a bit. The gold on black is difficult. If you could make the contrast better, it'd be easier to read. The guitar playing is gimmicky, but these guys obviously have some skill. Nice work.

    I kind of liked the guitar schtick. Better than a laser pointer or pp slides, IMO. The overall data spread is about what you'd expect, but I think the real value of something like this comes at analyzing how the bigger successful outliers are different from the mean average project as well as those that weren't successful.

  not being familiar with python or django, i'm curious why writing a scraper would require an mvc framework.

    It's complete overkill. I didn't find an Active Record library for python, and figured knowing django better wouldn't be bad.
