atlas run

An interactive-map motion piece on a 1080 × 1080 stage that scales to any window, in a seamless 22-second loop. A tilted orthographic globe of Europe in Natural Earth's shaded relief, re-graded dark, with a faint lat/long grid, a vignette, film grain and a glass map-control bar. A scripted cursor explores it: hovering a country draws a white outline and a light name tooltip. A click sends a red ripple, the camera flies in, and the country rises from the map as a raised tile: red extruded walls, a soft drop shadow, its own relief lit and warmed on top, the rest of the map dimmed, and a neon coast that traces itself with a bright tip. The capital gets a pulsing marker and a leader line, the name sets letter by letter on the map with its coordinates, and a data card counts up the capital, population and area. Spain, France, Italy and Greece in turn, joined by a dashed great-circle route between the capitals; visited countries settle back as thin red outlines, the camera pulls back to the whole route, and everything fades as the loop closes. The globe is one WebGL2 shader that inverts the projection per pixel; the grid, borders, extrusion and labels are Canvas 2D with d3-geo; the tilt is CSS 3D. Borders are Natural Earth's in the internationally recognised view. Swap the four stops, their figures and the camera moves in two small files.
