*I am the only person doing the animations, coding, and music/video editing, and I do not have a team of editors doing any work for me. On average, a video project takes me about a month to complete, but usually it takes much longer.
**My videos are created using a 5 step process:
The first step is finding the inspiration for an idea. This could come from current events, suggestions from viewers, or interesting data that I self curated.
The second step is the research. Before creating a topic for a video, research needs to be done to understand the topic in full, and why the numbers are what they are.
The third step is data collecting. I’ll research through historical texts, articles, and organization websites to create a dataset on the topic.
The fourth step is to animate the dataset. I use a variety of animation and coding softwares, such as Flourish, Power Bi, Excel 3D, Adobe After effects, Motion, and more.
The fifth and final step is to export the animation over to Final Cut Pro to cut, edit, and enliven the overall project. I’ll add images, additional information, and after effects to turn what was once a dataset of numbers into a colorful project.

At 1:54. To think that Italy had a larger GDP and a higher GDP per capita than the UK in the last half of the 1980s and first half of the 1990s. Will wonders ever cease to amaze me! :D

[@spidertube79]

This is because at that time it had detached itself from the EMS. Then with the entry into the euro in 2001 we see the growth of Germany and the decrease of Italy. If Italy exited the euro, it would have enormous growth and it would be a big problem for Germany.

Being social, romantic, and taking life easy is more important than having the highest GDP, GDP per capita or exports. That is why France and Italy have better life (and long expectancy) than Germany.

[@Luflandebrigade31]

And that is why those great countries need now money from the ones that are actually doing the work. 😜

[@envinyatar5712]

Agree. Germany is productive beyond any nation. She could offer her citizens much better lives. The Germans instead chose to spend their resources for enabling their government to dominate Europe.

[@darkentrepreneur134]

@@envinyatar5712 It's more like tax the hard working Germen people and gift that money to other nations to save them, cause the other nations are too incompetent to save their own economy and run their own states. How ignorant you must be to presume that Germany is dominating the continent, or that the Germans actually want that in 2021.

[@darkentrepreneur134]

I agree that Germans should add some of the Italian/French romantic and social aspects into their lives. On the other hand the 2 could add some German work ethics into their economy. Guess we should strive to being healthy and happy in life, and at the same time, very efficient at work. I wish the best for Europe.

[@Pawn2e4]

@Ridwana Islam ​ Countries within the EU are slowly losing their individual sovereignty as the EU becomes a "United States of Europe". This can be seen in EU plans for a unified military. The UK values its independence. Also, the eurozone has been a disaster for all EU nations that are a part of it, as they either experience recession or zero growth. That, and the refugee crisis was deeply unpopular with the British public. Millions of muslims entered the EU unchecked. To keep an open border with such a reckless union would be crazy. Working class Brits were also sick of eastern Europeans moving to Britain and driving down wages. TLDR; Sovereignty and immigration.
