    Interesting stuff, thanks for the openness! @Hugh Just a minor point, on your top right bar chart you should put the events in chronological order and match that order in the legend for readability. Other than that, looking good.

    I'm interested in that feedback too, if any.

    Also, how did I do as a graphic designer?
    What Roobubba said, but great otherwise!
    Hmm maybe the info-texts sounds little "justifiying" to me, what it doesn't need to, right?

    Its interesting to see discussion on logistics. Good stuff. Good documentary video quality. Special effects were subtle but added a professional polish. Was actually hoping for a bit more content, but that's fine - I realize its quite a lot of work. Hoping for more videos to come.
