    "of course the video is really the medium to engage and show off the concept with all the eye candy and whiz-bangs you can muster."

    I partly disagree. If the infographics he's thinking of are really well thought out, the copy and type hierarchy are ace, then I think the scroll version offers an even more engaging concept. A video might seem like the cool thing, but it requires each visitor to press play (autoplay is annoying), check their volume (lots of people can't just watch a video in the workplace without headphones, for example), and watch every second just so they don't miss anything.

    Scrolling down would allow them to scan for keywords and get the information they want, and that you are deeming important, the most quickly, in my opinion.

    • Yeh, excellent points. If people at work are the target then no video is the choice.mikotondria3
    • But if you scroll down and the video is in one of the sections, I don't see why it can't also be there.monospaced
