About this gig
Historical map animation for documentaries, educational videos, museums, and history channels. I produce cinematic historical map animations, animated battle maps, empire expansion visuals, migration and trade route animations, timeline map motion graphics, and territorial change videos. Services include vector map animation, stylized vintage and parchment maps, satellite to vector transitions, animated borders, troop and fleet movements, route tracking, animated legends, and data-driven map motion

Deliverables: MP4 or MOV, optional source project, labels/subtitles, optional sound design, and commercial use license
To start, provide your script or timeline, key locations or coordinates, date ranges, map style preference (vintage, modern, satellite, vector), desired duration and resolution.
