This is one way to replicate the scroll magic from this annual report: http://prinzhorn.github.com/skrollr/ . It's really user-friendly and uses keyframes for timed actions based on scroll position.

Excellent. I will definitely use this.

I'm new to web design and I was very impressed with this presentation. Could anyone tell me what technologies were used to build it? Thank you.

Really impressive layout and visuals. I know some folks have complained about the "long form scroll" as being less usable than linked pages broken up by section, but I'm a fan nonetheless. The more I use the web / tablet / phone, the more I find I prefer sites that put all of their content on a single scrolling page. It just feels easier to digest. In this case, honestly, I probably wouldn't have clicked through each…

I agree, it was so nicely done and fluid.

This is the reason you hire developers, and not "UX experts" No one other than a really good developer would have made it so fluid and nicely.

In 2010 a green dot for Moscow begins to grow, but when you scroll down more, Saint Peterburg will never materialize, instead, a large yellow blob will grow from a middle of nowhere northwest of Caspian sea. (I guess Volgograd is somewhere there, but why?)

So I guess it isn't any precise.

See my comment above. This is what I use for scroll animations: http://prinzhorn.github.com/skrollr/. It's super easy to implement and use.

There's no indication that you should start scrolling the page. I completely missed that fact the first time I visited.

Yep, that struck me to. A lot of previous long scroll examples have been "sexy" but lacked fluidity.

I'm not a massive fan of long scroll in most cases; but it has it's occasional uses, and this was a brilliant implementation.
