[@FilmHerald]

"Why have I been using these big beefy machines?" The answer is heat. You can make an insanely powerful laptop but the form factor will eventually limit performance as the heat has nowhere to go. I'm sure it did run really well for this tutorial. Keep using it for another four hours straight and that's where you'll see the difference between a laptop and a desktop. The other reason is cost. Laptops are way less bang for your buck than a desktop.

[@anonimushbosh]

Is this the first time in history a verified user’s comment has added value to a video?!

[@FreewayBrent]

Very true. Having a good laptop cooling pad does help though...that, taking a couple of extra breaks here and there (if time affords you that luxury) to put the laptop into sleep mode for a bit.

[@mukkaar]

Yup, if you work at one place regularly, it just makes sense to get desktop. Way better performance for less cost. And you will get more productivity out of dedicated workspace anyways.

[@StefanBucur11]

You're completely ignoring the fact that you can cool the laptop off.

I haven’t watched the whole vid yet, but honestly thank you. A few days ago, for a school project, I tried to recreate one of your vox videos. It was like a combination of your Cuba and Syrian War video. I legit had no clue where to start, but saw that you used geo layers in one of the clips, so I started using that. Then I figured out how to use camera and everything. It wasn’t amazing, but I finished it, and I learned a lot! But I just wanna say, I appreciate this content the most.

As a GIS guy (i'm more on the data side of the house now but got started with basic map making and still do occasionally) I think my industry can sometimes struggle with using graphics that are a few years old, very cool to see the side of map making that's more focused on visuals instead of data representation.

How about him using Mercator for every single map? Even for animations showing countries close up where there are dozens of better projections that introduce less distortion.

[@mathewtoll6780]

Isn't Arc GIS expansive? or is GIS a completely different thing?

[@MrBallsMalone]

@@mathewtoll6780 Arc GIS is a software and it is expensive. There are many great free GIS options out there though such as QGIS.

[@ryanleethomas]

This sort of workflow really doesn't need to be so GIS intensive. As a geodesigner, it's often important to get out of analytic software and into design software as quickly as possible. A good shapefile or two goes a long way for one animation, but why spend all the extra time when what you need is open source and linkable? If you need niche data (disputed borders, treaty boundaries, resource lines, shipping routes), well sure you can spend more time on it. It's just about efficient use of time for the story.

[@MrBallsMalone]

@@ryanleethomas The issue I see with it is using Mercator projection for every single project. Mercator has some advantages but it is far from a silver bullet and distorts things pretty terribly near the poles. Some have even accused it of being colonialist because it makes Europe look way larger than it is and make areas near the equator significantly smaller in comparison.
