Indiana Jones Style Moving map

Neil,

Thanks for the tip on the terrain mapper - I used it today to create what I needed.

Glad to be of help Ken.

Good suggestion again Jim on the short bursts of national anthems.
Also the dotted line as you suggest would pull it together nicely.

Only thing is, I'm stuck as to how to do that on the moving video. It doesn't seem as straight forward as having two identical images, one with the line and one without, as with the moving indiana jones style map I did earlier in this thread.

I maybe could create an identical video with a route line in Google Earth (although it would have to be a solid red line) and use the mask techique again?

Can anyone point me the right direction?

I hate to raise this, but the Union Jack appears right as the singer pronounces 'Oh, Canada!'. Tiny point, but it does look like we've been invaded! ;-)

I'd go with the solid red line. The only other way I would try it would be a dotted line . . . . . . , but IMO a solid line works better. It did for Speilberg - can't argue with that!

Yes I know, doesn't really work does it!!

I'm going to follow Jim's suggestion and have short bursts of each national anthem.
That should make things fit together in a more relevant way!

Neil, quick continuity check, in the opening flight montage you've got two 747 images but another Boeing (could be a 777) between them.

Wasn't that due to the layover between Greenland and Toronto?
