What are some ways to make presentations more compelling with video backgrounds?

There are several ways to make presentations more compelling with video backgrounds. First, choose a video that complements the theme of your presentation. It should enhance the message, not distract from it. Second, ensure the video is high quality. Blurry or pixelated videos can detract from the overall presentation. Third, keep the video background subtle. It should not be too busy or flashy, as this can distract the audience from the main content. Lastly, consider the pacing. A slow, calming video might be suitable for a serious topic, while a fast-paced video might be better for a more energetic presentation.

Data journalist, data visualization expert and Ted Talk speaker, David McCandless, said: "I feel that every day, all of us now are being blasted by information design. It's being poured into our eyes through the Web, and we're all visualizers now; we're all demanding a visual aspect to our information. There's something almost quite magical about visual information. It's effortless; it literally pours in."
