Try slowing down animation when callouts pop up #57

Might be jarring, might be helpful

Sandra Eberts made this comment, even though we did not mention our idea of something similar. Maybe we should try it? Could the animation automatically stop when a major hydrologic event is encountered? The end user could be instructed to restart it once they had a chance to read.

Maybe we can look into include text that prompts the user to pause the video if they want to examine the map in more detail. Maybe a message pops up during an event or just at the beginning that says Pause this video to learn more or something.

Please prototype (via powerpoint/photoshop/paint) before implementing a code-based solution.

Rather than changing frame rate, I think an easy way to test if we like this is to just add duplicate frames for each frame during a callout.

text appearing for longer than the event shadow. try fading in and fading out
