The part I like here is the title sequence, it shows a very darkened background, this might be a way of highlighting that we don't really know what's past certain points, eg. edge of china and parts of africa in the ptolomy map. I liked the clarity of the rest of the video but would have liked to have the names of places be standing up 3D letters that projected a shadow onto the surface... I wonder whether you can have a light system that only impacts the text elements... Can you have text elements?
