The Economics of Formula 1 — episode engine
The continuous-camera technique scaled to a 17-minute episode at 60 fps, with a type floor and texture rules so nothing reads as cheap AI.

Problem
Longer episode, more chapters, more data. The risk with generated motion graphics is sameness: every scene the same weight, every number the same size, nothing that feels chosen.
Approach
Continuous camera over Vox-style cuts, a 30-px minimum type size, paper texture and grain on every plate, and cut-outs from real photographs for anything specific (a person, a product), drawn vectors for anything generic.
The craft
One sentence, one visual idea: the direction file pairs every narrated sentence with exactly one transformation on screen, so the eye always has one thing to follow.
Result
Rendered at 1920×1080, 60 fps, 17:29. Opener on the Motion page.
