3D Historical Map Animation

About the project

Arabic language knowledge is a must! I’m producing a 30-minute history video that unfolds entirely on a living, 3D map. As the narration moves chronologically, the virtual camera must glide smoothly from one region to the next, zooming in on borders, dates and battle lines, then pulling back out to reveal the wider geopolitical picture. What I need animated on the map • Countries with clearly defined, period-accurate borders that change as events unfold. • Political leaders’ routes and military movements, drawn with animated arrows or paths that progress in real time with the voice-over. • Key historical events called out with on-screen labels, dates, icons or subtle infographics. Style & pacing Everything should feel cinematic: polished 3D terrain, soft lighting, and fluid transitions that keep the viewer oriented even during quick jumps across continents. Labels, arrows and markers must appear, move and fade in perfect sync with the narration so that the audience never has to guess where to look. Technical expectations – Full-resolution delivery (4K preferred, 3840×2160). – Frame-accurate audio sync using my supplied narration track. – Layered project files (Cinema 4D, Blender or After Effects 3D comps) so I can make minor text tweaks later. – Colour-safe palette and clear typography for readability on mobile and large screens alike. Acceptance criteria 1. A single master video covering the entire 30-minute timeline, rendered and free of watermark. 2. All map animations accurately match the provided historical timeline and pronunciation guide. 3. No jarring cuts; every transition is a camera move or smooth zoom. 4. Final assets delivered within the agreed schedule, ready for review and one round of revisions. If you’re comfortable driving a 3D map environment, synchronising complex motion graphics and keeping historical detail airtight, I’d love to see your reel and discuss next steps.
