Love how derpy it is edited. Made me laugh out loud a couple of times :)

Andy Wakeman

I’m always super interested in how teams come together and build something new. It’s almost like you guys are a band that has locked themselves into a house until they write their next brilliant album. It’s pretty magical to watch!!! Please keep posting these!

The most entertaining 30 minutes of the week so far for me. Brilliant. Loved watching it!

Johnny Harris

Boris Dimitrov

This is the absolute best perk ever! ❤️ So incredible to be able to have this inside look into the process, team and thinking behind the videos. Also, kudos to whoever is putting these together (Iz?), the style is awesome!

Johnny Harris

we do a ton of library of congress, but we recently started buying maps and scanning them ourselves which has been pretty fun (and a lot of work)

Johnny Harris

great idea, i'll try to make it happen in an upcoming vlog

Johnny Harris

The Daily BA

Absolutely loved this thank you! These are the main reason I’m here as a patron :)

If you're interested in diving in more to mapping and more hi-res sources check out youshouldmakemaps.com - there's a ton of info you can explore

Ryan Shields

if the issue is the local tiles are still too heavy, you should be able to do the same workflow with mt cloud and use their geolayers plug in to stream it in as a tile service

Johnny Harris

Thanks. We’ve been experimenting with a program called map tiler which is a local desktop app that allows us to cut up tiles into a local reference directories that we can connect to in geolayers

Tlaloc Lopez-Watermann

Thank you!!

Evan Freeze

This was so fun to watch, thanks for sharing!

Ryan Shields

Are you talking the hi-res scans? I can’t speak for his sources directly but the David Rumsey map collection, the library of Congress, and university archives are great places to start if that’s what you’re looking for

Tlaloc Lopez-Watermann

I wish you could do the 2 hour versions fyi

Tlaloc Lopez-Watermann

Hey Johnny, where do you get the high resolutions maps? What’s the source for the files.

Jgorch13

this is great, personally i'd like to a see your editor doing a timelime breakdown in premiere pro, showing the organization of the footage etc. keep it up guys!

Maxwell Muller

This was awesome Johnny and team!! Great job and stoked to see more of this. Also very inspired to create content on pressing matters I care about 🤘

Jay Maas

Love seeing more Iz content. Missed having her videos to watch! When is the house content coming out?? So glad to be able to support even if I have no idea what’s going on with the maps.

Suraj Devaraj

This was incredible. So great to see Iz after a long time. LOVE the Japanese breakfast. I can't wait to make enough money to afford the 200$ tier :)

Ryan Shields

i also feel so validated now for just using an Epson high res flatbed and janky leveling for map digitizing so thanks for that

Ryan Shields

Regarding large files in AE: I might be missing the mark on this because I’m an AE/geolayers rookie but I know Geolayers works with Mapbox styles and you can embed custom images on Mapbox styles. If the image is georeferenced you can push it through to Mapbox using the Uploads API (not as hard as the documentation makes it look) which will tile it as a map layer and then you could add it to a map style and stream it into geolayers. I assume streaming it like that would be more responsive than local tiles but you could do a sample tile and see how it looks/performs. If it isn’t georeferenced there’s options for that too

Paul Carleton

Wow — this is one hellva vlog Johnny! Very cool to see the hard work & creative process/messy reality of how these epic videos get put together. Thanks for the effort you put into this 30min BTS!

Johnny Harris

such a big team, more to come in coming months!

Johnny Harris

thank you! we're feeling pretty excited around here to bring you all more into our world

Alice Ro

Wow! So cool to see you guys in such an environment!

Rachel Uwa

Super thrilled for all these updates, Johnny! Thanks for putting so much energy into this space and in general for the work you do. Investigative journalist was totally on the list of potential dream careers when I first started out. Well, who knows what the future brings! Lol. Just watched the vid-- wow, that was intense! So many thoughts and questions! Hi to Iz and the rest of your team! Thanks again! :)
