10:51The Cable That Changed The World
Save referenceScale & Specificity
Ships once took over a week to cross the Atlantic. Here one orange line spans it with 3 SECONDS on top. The antique map places this long before the internet, so you want to know how a message crossed that fast back then.
Below this channel's typical views. Included as a creative reference.
Calling a cable world-changing makes a big claim for a dull object, and the title never says which cable, so the map has to show you.
The orange line is the only bright thing on a faded map, so 3 SECONDS lands first, sitting over the empty ocean it claims to cross.
When your story is about something getting dramatically faster, show the old distance at full size and put the new time on top of it. An old-style map or image dates it without a single word.
Put a tiny time over a huge distance.
Apply this pattern to your next video.
Bring the reference into a packaging brief, then decide what your title and thumbnail should each communicate.
